In November 2026 the Bay of Mont Saint-Michel sees 2 spring tides (coefficient 95 or above) and 0 days where the causeway submerges and the Mont becomes a true island. The strongest tide of the month reaches a coefficient of 97. Plan your visit around the spring cycles to see the bay at its most dramatic.

How the bay's tides work
The Bay of Mont Saint-Michel sees two high tides and two low tides each day, with a tidal range that can reach roughly fourteen metres on the biggest cycles. That puts it among the largest tidal ranges in continental Europe. All times on this site are computed for the Saint-Malo reference port and adjusted for the bay.
Reading the coefficient
Each cycle gets a coefficient on a scale from 20 to 120. Below 95 it is a regular tide: the water comes in and out, retreating further on the higher end of the range. At 95 and above it becomes a spring tide and the entire character of the bay changes. The full year of coefficients sits in the calendar above.
When the Mont becomes an island
The submersible passage to the rock is only fully covered on a handful of days each year. The Office de Tourisme classifies these "Mont becomes an island" days using local bay dynamics rather than a flat coefficient threshold; weather, wind, and atmospheric pressure all push the actual water level above or below prediction. The 2014 footbridge replaced the old causeway and let the sea wash all the way around the rock again on the strongest tides.
Frequently asked questions
When is the highest tide in November 2026?
The strongest spring tides of November 2026 cluster around the full moon and new moon. Open the calendar above and look for the days marked with a coefficient of 95 or higher; the very highest of the month sits at coefficient 97.
Which days does the Mont become an island in November 2026?
There are 0 such days in November 2026. The calendar above marks them with a small star icon, and the highlights section above lists each tide cycle when the causeway submerges.
What is the best day to visit Mont Saint-Michel in November 2026?
Aim for any spring-tide day, where the coefficient is 95 or above, ideally at sunset for the most dramatic light. The bay drains far enough at low water to expose kilometres of seabed, then refills fast enough to make the rock feel cut off again.
