Your day at a glance

The best window, 1:10 pm to 2:20 pm, combines the 1:15 pm low tide, a major period and some swell, though with rising pressure. Also worth a try from 6:30 am to 7:50 am, with the 7:31 am high tide, sunrise and some swell, though with rising pressure. Also worth a try from 12:40 am to 2:00 am, with the 12:56 am low tide, a major period and some swell, though with rising pressure.

Species with the most records nearby: small-spotted catshark, European plaice, ballan wrasse and thornback ray. October is one of the months when these are seen most: small-spotted catshark and common sole. What you can catch

↓ Falling The tide is falling. 2 h 43 min to low tide at 1:36 am.

Tide coefficient 101 for the 7:31 am high tide and 99 for the 7:52 pm high tide. Big spring tides. The water rises and falls 15.7 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 August 14 (17.8 ft) and the lowest, on April 18 (0.8 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 26 to 28 (coefficient 102, 15.7 ft range). The smallest, on October 20 (coefficient 29, 4.1 ft).

Where this tide comes from

A · Official station

Tides from the Torquay Outer station (Environment Agency), 1.4 mi from Babbacombe. Times and heights are its predictions.

Station data attribution: This uses Environment Agency flood and river level data from the real-time data API (Beta): Torquay Outer (TORQ), https://environment.data.gov.uk/flood-monitoring/id/stations/TORQ. Contains public sector information licensed under the Open Government Licence v3.0 (https://www.nationalarchives.gov.uk/doc/open-government-licence/version/3/).

How we calculate the tide

Sea and waves

The sea at Babbacombe

7-day waves

Sea stateSea state: slight

Slight Douglas 3 · light breeze, Beaufort 2
Waves 2.0 ft · 7.3 s from the southwest (227°)
Swell 1.9 ft · 6.3 s from the southwest
Current 0.3 mph toward the ENE

The waves you may find

  • Most commonMost common1.0 ft
  • Significant2.0 ft
  • Highest expectedHighest4.0 ft

One wave in seven is higher than the significant height, and about 3 times a day one reaches 4.0 ft. Before heading out, expect waves of up to 4.0 ft.

Wind on the coast and offshore

On the coast 4 mph SSW · gusts 8
Offshore (1.7 mi NNE)Offshore 4 mph SW · gusts 8

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

Waves stay much the same all week. The biggest waves arrive on Tuesday 3: 4.4 ft with a period of 5 s, from the east (moderate).

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 58.4 °F by Tuesday 3.

Water warmer than normal for late October (+1.0 °F).

Poor · 1 out of 10 6:24–10:00 am 1.0–1.5 ft Also 1:00–5:00 pm
  • 1.0–1.5 ft surf at the shore, small: good for learning or a longboard
  • 2.3 ft swell at 8 s from the southwest, a bit short; it hits this coast at an angle
  • 2.4 ft wind swell at 3 s: messy waves
  • Light offshore wind (9 mph): it holds up and grooms the waves

Today’s surf at a glance

The best window, 6:24 am to 10:00 am, has light offshore wind, though with small waves and wind swell. 1:00 pm to 5:00 pm can also work, with light offshore wind, though with small waves and a short-period swell.

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.

  • Likely visibility: fair. Swell (up to 3.7 ft at 7 s) and rain (0.34 in) over the last few days have stirred up the water. Based on the last 24 hours of data.
  • Water at 59.7 °F: a 7 mm wetsuit, with hood and booties.
  • Snorkeling: doable, with some waves or wind.
  • Night dive: dark from 5:31 pm. Waning gibbous (92%), rising at 5:47 pm: a bright night.

Your diving day at a glance

The best window, 12:50 pm to 1:30 pm, combines slack water at low tide, light wind, weak current and the sun high. Also worth a look from 7:00 am to 8:10 am, with slack water at high tide 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
  • 12:36–2:36 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity
  • 1:08–3:08 pm Major · the moon passes underfoot · high activity
  • 9:53–10:53 am Minor · moonset · medium activity
  • 5:17–6:17 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

Gentle slope

The bottom slopes gently: 16 ft deep 800 ft from shore and 33 ft at 0.55 mi.

From the shoreline (0.8 mi from Babbacombe) out to sea, heading east.

How far from shore

  • 16 ft deep800 ft
  • 33 ft deep0.55 mi
  • 66 ft deep1.3 mi
  • 164 ft deepnot within 3.1 mi

For fishing, swimming and diving

  • Shore fishing. Shallow, gradual bottom (16 ft at 800 ft): cast far from the beach and fish the high tide, when there is more water close in.
  • Swimming. A very gentle way in with plenty of shallow water, good for kids. At low tide the water can be far out.
  • Diving. 33 ft deep 0.55 mi from shore; 66 ft is far out (1.3 mi): for deeper dives, go by boat.
