Tide times at St Peter Port
Tides are the same island-wide. These are today’s heights and times for Cobo Bay.
Cobo Bay
Cobo is a lively, easily recognised west-coast bay. The beach is predominantly sandy, with granite rocks framing and dividing parts of the shoreline. Its west-facing aspect makes it one of the island’s favourite spots for an evening visit and sunset.
Several places to eat and drink sit immediately beside the bay, so it’s an easy choice for spending a few unhurried hours by the sea.
Low water exposes a wide area of sand and more of the rocky shoreline; as the tide rises the beach narrows. Check the predicted height as well as the high-water time if you plan to stay into the evening on a big tide.
Tides. Tide predictions are forecasts. Actual sea level is affected by atmospheric pressure, wind and waves. Always observe the sea and your surroundings.
Swimming. Sea swimming carries risks: currents, waves, rocks, submerged structures, boats and cold water. This page is for planning and does not confirm conditions are safe.
Facilities. Facilities and café opening hours change seasonally. Check directly before making a journey specifically to use them.
