Tide and currents

Reflex

A baïne is a hollow in the sand filled with water that can create a current pulling out to sea: even a strong swimmer cannot fight it. Reflex: swim parallel to the shore to get out of it, never straight against it.

Source: SNSM (Sauveteurs en Mer)

Did you know

A sandbank can look stable and then be surrounded by the sea within minutes: between 1 May and 1 August 2025, CROSS Gris-Nez recorded 38 people cut off by the tide, notably around the Somme bay.

Source: Préfecture maritime de la Manche et de la mer du Nord

Did you know

In the Mont-Saint-Michel bay, the sea can rise by about 6 km/h: it is best never to venture in alone, and always to cross the bay with a guide.

Sources and method

Tide heights: Heights retain the vertical reference supplied by the source and are not an official hydrographic zero.
Sea temperature and conditions: Temperature and conditions come from a limited-resolution coastal model, not an observation at the beach. Do not use for navigation or to conclude that bathing is safe.
