The best window, 12:50 pm to 2:20 pm, combines the 1:20 pm high tide, a major period and a light onshore breeze, though with rising pressure. Also worth a try from 6:40 am to 7:30 am, with the 7:43 am low tide, sunrise and a light onshore breeze, though with rising pressure.

Tide coefficient 76 for the 1:00 am high tide and 76 for the 1:20 pm high tide. Average coefficient. The water rises and falls 7.0 ft between the highest high and the lowest low: an average range for this place. 70 is an average tide here; 90 and above means spring tides; below 45, neap tides.

2026 extremes: the highest tide of the year is on September 12 (9.1 ft) and the lowest, on December 29 (0.4 ft).

Semidiurnal: two high and two low tides a day, of similar height.

Where this tide comes from

B · Nearby station

Eyke has no station of its own, so we use the tide at Orford Ness (Environment Agency), 7.0 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 flood and river level data from the real-time data API (Beta): Orford Ness (E24826), https://environment.data.gov.uk/flood-monitoring/id/stations/E24826. 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 measured tidal levels of 2025-10-29 to 2026-10-22 (356 days).

Sea and waves

The sea at Eyke

7-day waves

Sea stateSea state: smooth

Smooth Douglas 2 · light breeze, Beaufort 2
Waves 0.7 ft · 2.7 s from the south-southwest (203°)
Swell 0.5 ft · 2.3 s from the south-southwest
Current 0.7 mph toward the SSW

The waves you may find

  • Most commonMost common0.4 ft
  • Significant0.7 ft
  • Highest expectedHighest1.5 ft

One wave in seven is higher than the significant height, and about 3 times a day one reaches 1.5 ft. Before heading out, expect waves of up to 1.5 ft.

Wind on the coast and offshore

On the coast 5 mph WSW · gusts 9
Offshore (9.4 mi SSE)Offshore 7 mph WSW · gusts 11

Onshore wind. The coast faces west and the wind blows straight in from the sea: more surf and backwash at the shore, and bait and boats drift toward land.

Your diving day at a glance

The best window, 10:30 am to 11:30 am, combines little swell, light wind, weak current and the sun high, though with tidal current. Also worth a look from 4:30 pm to 5:10 pm, with little swell, light wind and weak current, though with tidal current and low light.

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
  • 12:16–2:16 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity
  • 12:47–2:47 pm Major · the moon passes underfoot · high activity
  • 9:43–10:43 am Minor · moonset · medium activity
  • 4:46–5:46 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.
