Where this tide comes from
Tides from the Kinlochbervie station (Environment Agency), 1.8 mi from Oldshoremore. Times and heights are its predictions.
Station data attribution: This uses Environment Agency tide gauge data from the real-time data API (Beta): Kinlochbervie (E70324), https://environment.data.gov.uk/flood-monitoring/id/stations/E70324. Contains public sector information licensed under the Open Government Licence v3.0 (https://www.nationalarchives.gov.uk/doc/open-government-licence/version/3/).

The sea at Oldshoremore
Sea stateSea state: moderate
The waves you may find
- Most commonMost common4.0 ft
- Significant8.1 ft
- Highest expectedHighest16 ft
One wave in seven is higher than the significant height, and about 3 times a day one reaches 16 ft. Before heading out, expect waves of up to 16 ft.
Wind on the coast and offshore
Cross-onshore wind. The coast faces west and the wind comes in from the sea at an angle: a bit more surf at the shore and drift along the coast, toward land.
Wave height, next 7 daysWaves, next 7 days
Waves ease over the next few days. The biggest waves arrive on Thursday 29: 9.3 ft with a period of 9 s, from the west-northwest (rough).

Surf in Oldshoremore today
Surf today
Good- 3.2–4.9 ft surf at the shore, a good size with some punch
- 4.3 ft swell at 7 s from the west-northwest, short: weak, messy waves
- Almost no wind (4 mph): glassy water
- Falling tide (high tide at 9:15 pm)
- Light: First light 6:47 am · sunrise 7:29 am · sunset 4:38 pm · last light 5:20 pm
- Tide: low 2:49 am (2.8 ft), high 8:46 am (15.8 ft), low 3:17 pm (3.0 ft) and high 9:15 pm (15.1 ft). Every break has its own tide: some work at low tide and others at high tide. The tide doesn’t change the score here.
- Water at 53.2 °F: a 5/4 fullsuit with booties (and a hood if it’s windy).
- Energy: 192 kJ · Medium power
Today’s surf at a glance
The best window, 3:00 pm to 5:00 pm, has a good size and glassy water, though with a short-period swell. 9:00 am to 11:00 am also works, with a good size.
An estimate for this stretch of coast, not for a specific break: every beach or reef works its own way (its tide, bottom and angle). Check it when you get there.
Follow the flags and the lifeguards, and don’t paddle out if the surf is above your level: this score is a guide, not a substitute for what you see when you get there.
Diving in Oldshoremore today
Diving and snorkeling today
Likely visibility: poor- Slack water around low tide (3:17 pm): little current from 3:00 pm to 3:40 pm
- 4.1 ft swell at 7 s from the west-northwest: some surge on the bottom
- Almost no wind
- 0.8 mph current toward the south (model)
- Daylight
- Slack water today: low tide 2:49 am (2:30–3:10 am), high tide 8:46 am (8:20–9:10 am), low tide 3:17 pm (3:00–3:40 pm) and high tide 9:15 pm (8:50–9:50 pm)
- Likely visibility: poor. Swell (up to 11 ft at 10 s) over the last few days has stirred up the water. Based on the last 24 hours of data.
- Water at 53.2 °F: a 7 mm semi-dry suit, with hood, gloves and booties.
- Snorkeling: better not, with these waves, wind or current.
- Night dive: dark from 5:20 pm. Waning gibbous (85%), rising at 5:30 pm: a bright night.
Your diving day at a glance
The best window, 3:30 pm to 4:10 pm, combines slack water at low tide and light wind, though with some swell and current.
Slack water comes from the tide: in inlets, channels and between islands the water can keep running for an hour or two after. Ask the local dive shop.

The moon in Oldshoremore
Moon phase and position
Today the moon is 226,641 mi away and looks 32′ 45″ across.
Solunar periods
Today's activity: high- 1:46–3:46 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity
- 2:19–4:19 pm Major · the moon passes underfoot · high activity
- 12:37–1:37 pm Minor · moonset · medium activity
- 5:00–6:00 pm Minor · moonrise · medium activity
According to solunar theory, fish feed more when the moon passes overhead or underfoot (major periods, about 2 h) and when it rises or sets (minor periods, 1 h). It works best around new and full moon.

Water depth
Deepens quicklyThe bottom deepens quickly: 33 ft of water 1,300 ft from shore. It reaches 164 ft at 1.8 mi.
From the shoreline (1.4 mi from Oldshoremore) out to sea, heading west.
How far from shore
- 16 ft deep1,200 ft
- 33 ft deep1,300 ft
- 66 ft deep1.2 mi
- 164 ft deep1.8 mi
For fishing, swimming and diving
- Shore fishing. 33 ft of water just 1,300 ft from shore: a good cast reaches deep water. Current and surf hit harder here.
- Swimming. The water gets deeper little by little, but a few dozen yards out you can no longer stand.
- Diving. 33 ft deep 1,300 ft from shore; 66 ft is far out (1.2 mi): for deeper dives, go by boat.
Rough estimate: here the data comes in cells of about 0.3 mi and misses details near shore (rocks, sandbars, small coves). Where the bottom comes up to the surface there are shoals, rocks or an islet next to the profile.
