Your day at a glance

The best window, 3:40 pm to 5:20 pm, combines the 4:33 pm high tide, moonrise and sunset, though with rising pressure. Also worth a try from 10:20 am to 11:20 am, with the 10:31 am low tide, moonset and some swell, though with rising pressure.

Species with the most records nearby: small-spotted catshark, European flounder, pollack and ballan wrasse. October is one of the months when these are seen most: European plaice and Atlantic cod. What you can catch

Tide coefficient 96 for the 4:07 am high tide and 95 for the 4:33 pm high tide. Spring tides. The water rises and falls 15.3 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 September 29 (18.3 ft) and the lowest, on August 14 (1.0 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 27 to 28 (coefficient 96, 15.5 ft range). The smallest, on October 19 (coefficient 33, 5.8 ft).

Where this tide comes from

B · Nearby station

Hebburn has no station of its own, so we use the tide at North Shields (Environment Agency), 3.8 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): North Shields (E70924), https://environment.data.gov.uk/flood-monitoring/id/stations/E70924. 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).

Sea and waves

The sea at Hebburn

7-day waves

Sea stateSea state: smooth

Smooth Douglas 2 · gentle breeze, Beaufort 3
Waves 0.9 ft · 3.2 s from the west-southwest (244°)
Wind waves — —
Current 1.1 mph toward the NNW

The waves you may find

  • Most commonMost common0.5 ft
  • Significant0.9 ft
  • Highest expectedHighest2.0 ft

One wave in seven is higher than the significant height, and about 3 times a day one reaches 2.0 ft. Before heading out, expect waves of up to 2.0 ft.

Cross-offshore wind. The coast faces east and the wind comes off the land at an angle: calmer water near the shore, and bait and boats drift out to sea.

Your diving day at a glance

The best window, 10:00 am to 11:30 am, combines slack water at low tide, small waves, 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, small waves 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.

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
  • 12:28–2:28 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
  • 4:35–5:35 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

Shallow, gradual

Shallow, gradual bottom: 0 ft at 0.85 mi.

From the shoreline (0.85 mi from Hebburn) out to sea, heading east.

How far from shore

  • 16 ft deepnot within 0.85 mi
  • 33 ft deepnot within 0.85 mi
  • 66 ft deepnot within 0.85 mi
  • 164 ft deepnot within 0.85 mi

For fishing, swimming and diving

  • Shore fishing. Very shallow: the water doesn't reach 16 ft within 0.85 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 0.85 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) 0.85 mi out.
