Tides in Labrador
Today's high and low tides

- ▲ Next high tide 10:21 am 5.9 ft · coef. 84
- ▼ Low tide 5:03 pm 0.9 ft
- ▲ High tide 10:33 pm 3.7 ft · coef. 79
↑ Rising The tide is rising. 2 h 31 min to high tide at 10:21 am.
Tide coefficient 84 for the 10:21 am high tide and 79 for the 10:33 pm high tide. Average coefficient. The water rises and falls 5.4 ft between the highest high and the lowest low: a large range for this place. 70 is an average tide here; 90 and above means spring tides; below 45, neap tides. What is the tide coefficient?
2026 extremes: the highest tide of the year is on June 16 (6.8 ft) and the lowest, on November 25 (0.2 ft).
Mixed: two high and two low tides a day, but of quite different heights.
Heights above chart datum: the lowest astronomical tide (LAT), the zero of nautical charts in Europe. Astronomical prediction: wind and air pressure can raise or lower the water by a few inches, and more in a storm. Not for navigation. chart datum (LAT)
Tide coefficient and range in October
The biggest tides of the month came from October 25 to 27 (coefficient 95, 5.6 ft range). The smallest, from October 18 to 19 (coefficient 36, 2.7 ft).

The sea at Labrador
Sea stateSea state: slight
The waves you may find
- Most commonMost common0.9 ft
- Significant1.7 ft
- Highest expectedHighest3.5 ft
One wave in seven is higher than the significant height, and about 3 times a day one reaches 3.5 ft. Before heading out, expect waves of up to 3.5 ft.
Wind on the coast and offshore
Cross-onshore wind. The coast faces east and the wind comes in from the sea at an angle: a bit more surf at the shore and drift along the coast, toward land.
Wave height, next 7 daysWaves, next 7 days
Waves stay much the same all week. The biggest waves arrive on Sunday 1: 2.4 ft with a period of 5 s, from the northeast (slight).
Water temperature
Water temperature →Water temperature changes how fish behave: in very cold or very warm water they feed less. The water warms over the next few days: about 73.7 °F by Wednesday 4.
Water colder than normal for late October (−1.3 °F).

Surf in Labrador today
Surf today
Poor- 1.0–1.5 ft surf at the shore, small: good for learning or a longboard
- 1.1 ft swell at 6 s from the east, short: weak, messy waves
- Almost no wind (4 mph): glassy water
- Rising tide (high tide at 10:21 am)
- Light: First light 4:33 am · sunrise 4:57 am · sunset 6:03 pm · last light 6:28 pm
- Tide: low 3:41 am (0.5 ft), high 10:21 am (5.9 ft), low 5:03 pm (0.9 ft) and high 10:33 pm (3.7 ft). Every break has its own tide: some work at low tide and others at high tide. The tide doesn’t change the score here.
- Water at 72.3 °F–73.2 °F: a rash guard or a neoprene top.
- Energy: 8 kJ · Low power
Today’s surf at a glance
The best window, 5:00 am to 9:00 am, has glassy water, though with small waves and a short-period swell. 10:00 am to 2:00 pm can also work, though with small waves and a short-period swell.
An estimate for this stretch of coast, not for a specific break: every beach or reef works its own way (its tide, bottom and angle). Check it when you get there.
Follow the flags and the lifeguards, and don’t paddle out if the surf is above your level: this score is a guide, not a substitute for what you see when you get there.
Diving in Labrador today
Diving and snorkeling today
Likely visibility: good- Slack water around high tide (10:21 am): little current from 10:00 am to 10:40 am
- 1.2 ft swell at 5 s from the southeast: barely any surge
- Light onshore wind (5 mph)
- 0.1 mph current toward the south, weak (model)
- Sun high: more light underwater
- Slack water today: low tide 3:41 am (3:20–4:00 am), high tide 10:21 am (10:00–10:40 am), low tide 5:03 pm (4:40–5:30 pm) and high tide 10:33 pm (10:00–11:10 pm)
- Likely visibility: good. The sea has been calm and there's been little rain. Based on the last 24 hours of data.
- Water at 72.3–73.2 °F: a 3 mm wetsuit.
- Snorkeling: doable, with some waves or wind.
- Night dive: dark from 6:28 pm. Waning gibbous (88%), rising at 9:41 pm: a bright night.
Your diving day at a glance
The best window, 9:30 am to 11:10 am, combines slack water at high tide, little swell, light wind, weak current and the sun high. Also good from 4:20 pm to 5:50 pm, with slack water at low tide, little swell, light wind and weak current.
Slack water comes from the tide: in inlets, channels and between islands the water can keep running for an hour or two after. Ask the local dive shop.
Never dive alone and check with the local dive shop: this rating is a guide, not a substitute for a professional.

The moon in Labrador
Moon phase and position
Today the moon is 226,469 mi away and looks 32′ 47″ across.
Solunar periods
Today's activity: medium- 12:44–2:44 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity
- 1:16–3:16 pm Major · the moon passes underfoot · high activity
- 6:24–7:24 am Minor · moonset · medium activity
- 9:11–10:11 pm Minor · moonrise · medium activity
According to solunar theory, fish feed more when the moon passes overhead or underfoot (major periods, about 2 h) and when it rises or sets (minor periods, 1 h). It works best around new and full moon.
