  • ▼ Low tide 3:57 pm 5.7 ft
  • ▲ High tide 9:28 pm 42.7 ft · coef. 82

↑ Rising The tide is rising. 3 h 41 min to high tide at 9:05 am.

Tide coefficient 85 for the 9:05 am high tide and 82 for the 9:28 pm high tide. Average coefficient. The water rises and falls 39.1 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 April 18 (45.9 ft) and the lowest, on March 20 (1.9 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 9 to 11 (coefficient 94, 42.5 ft range). The smallest, on October 20 (coefficient 37, 13.9 ft).

How we calculate the tide

Sea and waves

The sea at Undy

7-day waves

Sea stateSea state: calm (rippled)

Calm (rippled) Douglas 1 · light breeze, Beaufort 2
Waves 0.3 ft · 5.7 s from the west-southwest (246°)
Swell 0.2 ft · 3.9 s from the west-southwest
Current 2.5 mph toward the ENE

The waves you may find

  • Most commonMost common0.1 ft
  • Significant0.3 ft
  • Highest expectedHighest0.6 ft

One wave in seven is higher than the significant height, and about 3 times a day one reaches 0.6 ft. Before heading out, expect waves of up to 0.6 ft.

Wind on the coast and offshore

On the coast 1 mph SE · gusts 4
Offshore (9.5 mi WSW)Offshore 4 mph S · gusts 6

Cross-shore wind. The coast faces southwest and the wind blows along the shore: drift and current run parallel to the beach.

Waves stay much the same all week. The biggest waves arrive on Tuesday 3: 0.7 ft with a period of 2 s, from the north-northeast (smooth).

Water temperature

Water now54.7 °F
Today 54.7–55.0 °F air: 50 / 59 °F
Satellite (2 days ago) 57.6 °F measured 1.2 mi away

The satellite measured 2.9 °F more 2 days ago than the model gives now: the water is probably warmer than the forecast says.

Water temperature changes how fish behave: in very cold or very warm water they feed less. The water cools over the next few days: about 53.6 °F by Wednesday 4.

Water about normal for late October.

Your diving day at a glance

The best window, 8:40 am to 9:30 am, combines slack water at high tide, little swell, light wind and the sun high, though with current. Also worth a look from 2:30 pm to 3:30 pm, with little swell, light wind and weak current, though with tidal 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: medium
  • 1:37–3:37 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity
  • 2:09–4:09 pm Major · the moon passes underfoot · high activity
  • 11:15 am–12:15 pm Minor · moonset · medium activity
  • 6:03–7:03 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

Very shallow

Very shallow and flat: even 3.1 mi from shore the water is less than 16 ft deep.

From the shoreline (1.1 mi from Undy) out to sea, heading southwest.

How far from shore

  • 16 ft deepnot within 3.1 mi
  • 33 ft deepnot within 3.1 mi
  • 66 ft deepnot within 3.1 mi
  • 164 ft deepnot within 3.1 mi

For fishing, swimming and diving

  • Shore fishing. Very shallow: the water doesn't reach 16 ft within 3.1 mi. Cast far from the beach, ideally around high tide.
  • Swimming. A very gentle way in with plenty of shallow water, good for kids. At low tide the water can be far out.
  • Diving. Shallow: the water doesn't reach 33 ft within 3.1 mi. For deeper dives, take a boat farther out.

Inside bays, estuaries and harbors the bottom changes a lot from spot to spot (channels and shoals): use this only as a rough guide. The profile is turned slightly from the coast so it does not run into an island or a headland.
