About tides at Saint-Malo, Brittany
Saint-Malo sits on the north coast of Brittany at the mouth of the Rance estuary, on the western edge of one of the largest tide ranges in Europe. The Bay of Saint-Malo and the wider Mont-Saint-Michel approaches funnel the open-Atlantic tide into a triangular embayment, and the geometry amplifies the swing dramatically. Mean range at the Saint-Malo gauge is about 7.9 metres, climbing past 12 on the largest spring tides of the equinoxes. The pattern is cleanly semidiurnal, two highs and two lows of comparable size, twelve and a half hours apart. The walled old town is built on a near-island that connects to the mainland by a narrow neck which floods on spring high water. The plage de Bon-Secours and the fortifications below the ramparts open onto wide expanses of sand at low water, the beach widening by hundreds of metres on the bigger lows. The Rance tidal-power station upstream — operating since 1966 — exploits the same swing. Predictions on this page come from Open-Meteo's gridded marine model — general-planning data, not navigation-grade. SHOM (Service Hydrographique et Océanographique de la Marine) is the authoritative French tide source, with harmonic predictions for Saint-Malo calibrated on decades of gauge data.
