  • ▲ High tide 3:14 pm 3.6 ft · coef. 83

↓ Falling The tide is falling. 1 h 1 min to low tide at 8:36 pm.

Tide coefficient 90 for the 2:19 am high tide and 83 for the 3:14 pm high tide. Spring tides. The water rises and falls 6.0 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 1 (7.3 ft) and the lowest, on March 21 (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 108, 5.9 ft range). The smallest, on October 20 (coefficient 30, 2.2 ft).

How we calculate the tide

Sea and waves

The sea at Thevenard

7-day waves

Sea stateSea state: slight

Slight Douglas 3 · moderate breeze, Beaufort 4
Waves 2.3 ft · 9.5 s from the south (190°)

The waves you may find

  • Most commonMost common1.1 ft
  • Significant2.3 ft
  • Highest expectedHighest4.6 ft

One wave in seven is higher than the significant height, and about 3 times a day one reaches 4.6 ft. Before heading out, expect waves of up to 4.6 ft.

Offshore wind. The coast faces southwest and the wind blows from land out to sea: calm shore and clean waves, but watch the drift out to sea.

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 70.5 °F by Wednesday 4.

Water warmer than normal for late October (+3.9 °F).

Your diving day at a glance

The best window, 7:20 am to 8:30 am, combines slack water at low tide, little swell, light wind and weak current. Also worth a look from 2:20 pm to 4:00 pm, with slack water at high tide, weak current and the sun high, though with moderate wind. Also worth a look from 9:30 am to 11:50 am, with slack water at low tide, weak current and the sun high, though with moderate wind.

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.

Solunar periods

Today's activity: medium
  • 2:37–4:37 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity
  • 3:09–5:09 pm Major · the moon passes underfoot · high activity
  • 8:03–9:03 am Minor · moonset · medium activity
  • 11:17 pm–12:17 am 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.
