Where this tide comes from
Oldbury-on-Severn has no station of its own, so we use the tide at Severn Bridge (TICON-4), 7.1 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.

The sea at Oldbury-on-Severn
Sea stateSea state: smooth
The waves you may find
- Most commonMost common0.2 ft
- Significant0.5 ft
- Highest expectedHighest1.0 ft
One wave in seven is higher than the significant height, and about 3 times a day one reaches 1.0 ft. Before heading out, expect waves of up to 1.0 ft.
Wind on the coast and offshore
The model doesn't separate offshore wind here: it's the same as on the coast.
Cross-shore wind. The coast faces northwest and the wind blows along the shore: drift and current run parallel to the beach.
Wave height, next 7 daysWaves, next 7 days
Waves stay much the same all week. The biggest waves arrive on Wednesday 28: 1.2 ft with a period of 3 s, from the southwest (smooth).
Water temperature
Water temperature →The satellite measured 3.4 °F more yesterday 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 52.7 °F by Tuesday 3.
Water about normal for late October.

Your diving day at a glance
The best window, 2:40 pm to 4:00 pm, combines slack water at low tide, little swell and weak current, though with moderate wind. Also worth a look from 7:50 am to 9:10 am, with slack water at high tide, little swell and weak current, though with moderate wind.
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- 12:33–2:33 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity
- 1:04–3:04 pm Major · the moon passes underfoot · high activity
- 9:57–10:57 am Minor · moonset · medium activity
- 5:06–6:06 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. Very shallow: the water doesn't reach 16 ft within 2.3 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 2.3 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. There is land ahead (an island, a headland or the far shore) 2.3 mi out. Where the bottom comes up to the surface there are shoals, rocks or an islet next to the profile.
