Where this tide comes from
Tides from the North Shields station (Environment Agency), 0.7 mi from North Shields. Times and heights are its predictions.

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 North Shields
Sea stateSea state: smooth
The waves you may find
- Most commonMost common0.2 ft
- Significant0.4 ft
- Highest expectedHighest0.8 ft
One wave in seven is higher than the significant height, and about 3 times a day one reaches 0.8 ft. Before heading out, expect waves of up to 0.8 ft.
Wind on the coast and offshore
Offshore wind. The coast faces east and the wind blows from land out to sea: calm shore and clean waves, but watch the drift out to sea.
Wave height, next 7 daysWaves, next 7 days
Waves build over the next few days. The biggest waves arrive on Monday 2: 2.7 ft with a period of 5 s, from the north-northeast (slight).
Water temperature
Water temperature →Water temperature changes how fish behave: in very cold or very warm water they feed less. The water is steady these days, with no sudden changes.

Surf in North Shields today
Surf today
Flat- Barely any waves (0.5 ft sets): flat
- Light offshore wind (8 mph): it holds up and grooms the waves
- First or last light of the day
- Falling tide (low tide at 10:31 am)
It’s flat today: almost no waves reach this coast.
- Light: First light 6:23 am · sunrise 7:01 am · sunset 4:37 pm · last light 5:15 pm
- Tide: high 4:07 am (18.1 ft), low 10:31 am (2.8 ft), high 4:33 pm (17.3 ft) and low 10:51 pm (3.0 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.

- Energy: 2 kJ · Low power
Today’s surf at a glance
The best window, 6:23 am to 10:00 am, has light offshore wind, though with barely any waves.
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 North Shields today

Your diving day at a glance
The best window, 10:00 am to 11:30 am, combines slack water at low tide, little swell, light wind, weak current and the sun high. Also worth a look from 3:50 pm to 5:00 pm, with slack water at high tide, little swell and light wind, though with 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.

Moon phase and position
Today the moon is 226,451 mi away and looks 32′ 47″ across.
Solunar periods
Today's activity: high- 12:28–2:28 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity
- 12:59–2:59 pm Major · the moon passes underfoot · high activity
- 10:18–11:18 am Minor · moonset · medium activity
- 4:34–5:34 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.

For fishing, swimming and diving
- Shore fishing. Shallow, gradual bottom (16 ft at 0.35 mi): cast far from the beach and fish the high tide, when there is more water close in.
- Swimming. The water gets deeper little by little, but a few dozen yards out you can no longer stand.
- Diving. Shallow near shore: you only reach 33 ft at 0.65 mi. For dives deeper than 33 ft, go by boat.
