Where this tide comes from

B · Nearby station

South Parade Pier has no station of its own, so we use the tide at Portsmouth (Environment Agency), 2.3 mi away. On the open coast the difference is usually a few minutes and inches; inside estuaries, rivers and enclosed bays it can be much larger.

Station data attribution: This uses Environment Agency tide gauge data from the real-time data API (Beta): Portsmouth (E71824), https://environment.data.gov.uk/flood-monitoring/id/stations/E71824. Contains public sector information licensed under the Open Government Licence v3.0 (https://www.nationalarchives.gov.uk/doc/open-government-licence/version/3/). Modified: harmonic constants fitted by TidePlanet from the 15-minute sea levels of 2025-10-29 to 2026-10-22 (356 days).

How we calculate the tide

Sea and waves

The sea at South Parade Pier

7-day waves

Sea stateSea state: smooth

Smooth Douglas 2 · gentle breeze, Beaufort 3
Waves 1.0 ft · 4.5 s from the southwest (222°)
Swell 0.9 ft · 3.1 s from the southwest
Current 0.4 mph toward the NE

The waves you may find

  • Most commonMost common0.5 ft
  • Significant1.0 ft
  • Highest expectedHighest2.2 ft

One wave in seven is higher than the significant height, and about 3 times a day one reaches 2.2 ft. Before heading out, expect waves of up to 2.2 ft.

Wind on the coast and offshore

On the coast 3 mph SW · gusts 6
Offshore (3.8 mi ESE)Offshore 9 mph W · gusts 13

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

Your diving day at a glance

The best window, 1:30 pm to 2:20 pm, combines little swell, light wind and the sun high, though with tidal current and current. Also worth a look from 8:30 am to 10:00 am, with little swell, light wind and the sun high, though with tidal current 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.

Solunar periods

Today's activity: high
  • 12:26–2:26 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity
  • 12:58–2:58 pm Major · the moon passes underfoot · high activity
  • 9:45–10:45 am Minor · moonset · medium activity
  • 5:05–6:05 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: 3.1 mi from shore the water is still only about 18 ft deep.

From the shoreline out to sea, heading southeast.

How far from shore

  • 16 ft deep2.9 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. Shallow, gradual bottom (16 ft at 2.9 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: the water doesn't reach 33 ft within 3.1 mi. For deeper dives, take a boat farther out.
