Your day at a glance

The best window, 5:00 pm to 5:40 pm, combines the 5:57 pm high tide, moonrise, sunset and a light onshore breeze, though with rising pressure and rough seas. Also good from 11:20 pm to 12:00 am, with the 12:24 am low tide and a light onshore breeze.

Species with the most records nearby: small-spotted catshark, European plaice, ballan wrasse and haddock. October is one of the months when these are seen most: common sole and common cuttlefish. What you can catch

  • Swimming Dangerous · 12 ft

    12 ft waves every 11 s: dangerous for swimming. Stay out if the red flag is up. High rip current risk. If you're caught in a rip current, don't swim against it: swim parallel to shore and wave for help. Always follow the lifeguard's flags.

  • Water 57 °F

Tide coefficient 96 for the 5:36 am high tide and 94 for the 5:57 pm high tide. Spring tides. The water rises and falls 16.5 ft between the highest high and the lowest low: a large range for this place. 70 is an average tide here; 90 and above means spring tides; below 45, neap tides. What is the tide coefficient?

2026 extremes: the highest tide of the year is on August 14 (19.2 ft) and the lowest, on March 20 (1.1 ft).

Semidiurnal: two high and two low tides a day, of similar height.

Heights above chart datum: the lowest astronomical tide (LAT), the zero of nautical charts in Europe. Astronomical prediction: wind and air pressure can raise or lower the water by a few inches, and more in a storm. Not for navigation. chart datum (LAT)

Tide coefficient and range in October

The biggest tides of the month came from October 26 to 28 (coefficient 97, 16.7 ft range). The smallest, from October 19 to 20 (coefficient 31, 5.7 ft).

Where this tide comes from

A · Official station

Tides from the St Marys station (Environment Agency), 0.3 mi from Hugh Town. Times and heights are its predictions.

Station data attribution: This uses Environment Agency tide gauge data from the real-time data API (Beta): St Marys (E72324), https://environment.data.gov.uk/flood-monitoring/id/stations/E72324. Contains public sector information licensed under the Open Government Licence v3.0 (https://www.nationalarchives.gov.uk/doc/open-government-licence/version/3/).

How we calculate the tide

Sea and waves

The sea at Hugh Town

7-day waves

Sea stateSea state: rough

Rough Douglas 5 · moderate breeze, Beaufort 4
Waves 8.4 ft · 10.2 s from the west (266°)
Swell 8.2 ft · 8.7 s from the west
Current 1.0 mph toward the SSW

The waves you may find

  • Most commonMost common4.2 ft
  • Significant8.4 ft
  • Highest expectedHighest17 ft

One wave in seven is higher than the significant height, and about 3 times a day one reaches 17 ft. Before heading out, expect waves of up to 17 ft.

Wind on the coast and offshore

On the coast 10 mph S · gusts 13

The model doesn't separate offshore wind here: it's the same as on the coast.

Onshore wind. The coast faces south and the wind blows straight in from the sea: more surf and backwash at the shore, and bait and boats drift toward land.

Waves ease over the next few days. The biggest waves arrive on Wednesday 28: 14 ft with a period of 11 s, from the west (very rough).

Today’s surf at a glance

The best window, 2:00 pm to 5:43 pm, has a good size, though with onshore wind. 10:00 am to 12:00 pm can also work, with a good size, though with cross-shore wind. 7:00 am to 8:00 am can also work, with a good size, though with cross-shore wind.

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.

Your diving day at a glance

The best window, 11:30 am to 12:50 pm, combines slack water at low tide and the sun high, though with a big swell, moderate wind and current. Also worth a look from 6:30 am to 9:30 am, though with tidal current, a big swell, fresh wind and current. Also worth a look from 1:50 pm to 4:50 pm, with light wind, though with tidal current, a big 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.

Never dive alone and check with the local dive shop: this rating is a guide, not a substitute for a professional.

Solunar periods

Today's activity: high
  • 12:48–2:48 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity
  • 1:20–3:20 pm Major · the moon passes underfoot · high activity
  • 10:02–11:02 am Minor · moonset · medium activity
  • 5:32–6:32 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

Gentle slope

The bottom slopes gently: 16 ft deep 1,300 ft from shore and 33 ft at 0.4 mi. It reaches 164 ft at 0.8 mi.

From the shoreline (0.4 mi from Hugh Town) out to sea, heading south.

How far from shore

  • 16 ft deep1,300 ft
  • 33 ft deep0.4 mi
  • 66 ft deep0.4 mi
  • 164 ft deep0.8 mi

For fishing, swimming and diving

  • Shore fishing. Shallow, gradual bottom (16 ft at 1,300 ft): cast far from the beach and fish the high tide, when there is more water close in.
  • Swimming. A very gentle way in with plenty of shallow water, good for kids. At low tide the water can be far out.
  • Diving. Shore diving works here: 33 ft at 0.4 mi and 66 ft at 0.4 mi from shore.
