Your day at a glance

The best window, 2:10 pm to 3:00 pm, combines the 1:56 pm low tide, a major period and some swell, though with moderate wind. Also good from 7:10 am to 7:50 am, with the 8:10 am high tide, sunrise and some swell. Also worth a try from 1:40 am to 2:40 am, with the 1:36 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

Tide coefficient 95 for the 8:10 am high tide and 91 for the 8:33 pm high tide. Spring tides. The water rises and falls 15.0 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)

Tides from the Torquay Outer station (Environment Agency), 2.0 mi from Paignton Pier. Times and heights are its predictions.

How we calculate the tide

Sea and waves

The sea at Paignton Pier

7-day waves

Sea stateSea state: slight

Slight Douglas 3 · light air, Beaufort 1
Waves 3.3 ft · 8.7 s from the southwest (231°)

Current 0.2 mph toward the SE

The waves you may find

  • Most commonMost common1.7 ft
  • Significant3.3 ft
  • Highest expectedHighest6.7 ft

One wave in seven is higher than the significant height, and about 3 times a day one reaches 6.7 ft. Before heading out, expect waves of up to 6.7 ft.

Wind on the coast and offshore

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.

Your diving day at a glance

The best window, 1:30 pm to 2:30 pm, combines slack water at low tide, light wind, weak current and the sun high. Also good from 8:30 am to 9:10 am, with light wind and weak 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: medium
  • 1:40–3:40 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity
  • 2:12–4:12 pm Major · the moon passes underfoot · high activity
  • 11:10 am–12:10 pm Minor · moonset · medium activity
  • 6:15–7:15 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 0.5 mi from shore and 33 ft at 0.85 mi.

From the shoreline out to sea, heading east.

How far from shore

  • 16 ft deep0.5 mi
  • 33 ft deep0.85 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 0.5 mi): 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. Shallow near shore: you only reach 33 ft at 0.85 mi. For dives deeper than 33 ft, go by boat.
