Spring tide schedule and tidal coefficients
Spring tides at La Condamine in Monaco are among the most impressive natural phenomena on the coast. When the tidal coefficient exceeds 90, the sea retreats much further than usual at low tide, then surges back with considerable force at high tide, amplifying the 0.1m average tidal range.
These exceptional tides follow a predictable cycle tied to the alignment of the Sun, Earth, and Moon. Our spring tide calendar for La Condamine lets you plan ahead — whether for shore fishing, coastal walks, or simply watching the spectacle. Always prioritise safety during these powerful tidal events.

A spring tide occurs when the Sun, Earth, and Moon are aligned (at new moon and full moon), combining their gravitational forces. This alignment amplifies the tidal range: high tides are higher and low tides are lower than normal. A spring tide is defined by a tidal coefficient of 90 or above (on a scale of 20 to 120). The strongest spring tides, with coefficients above 100, occur during the equinoxes in March and September.
The tidal coefficient indicates the strength of a tide on a scale from 20 to 120. It is calculated by the French Hydrographic Service (SHOM) and determines the expected tidal range for each day:
Spring tides at La Condamine demand heightened vigilance. The larger tidal range means faster-moving water and stronger currents. Follow these safety rules:
