Tides in Keating
Today's high and low tides
- ▼ Low tide 12:54 am 0.8 ft
- ▲ Next high tide 9:34 am 11.1 ft · coef. 112
- ▼ Low tide 1:14 pm 10.0 ft
- ▲ High tide 5:16 pm 10.7 ft · coef. 113
↑ Rising The tide is rising. 5 h 34 min to high tide at 9:34 am.
Tide coefficient 112 for the 9:34 am high tide and 113 for the 5:16 pm high tide. Big spring tides. The water rises and falls 10.4 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 January 4 (12.1 ft) and the lowest, on June 15 (-0.6 ft).
Mixed, mainly diurnal: on many days there is only one high and one low tide.
Heights above lower low water, large tide (LLWLT), the zero of Canadian charts. Astronomical prediction: wind and air pressure can raise or lower the water by a few inches, and more in a storm. Not for navigation. LLWLT
Tide coefficient and range in October
The biggest tides of the month come from October 29 to 30 (coefficient 113, 10.4 ft range). The smallest, on October 8 (coefficient 23, 5.0 ft).

The sea at Keating
Sea stateSea state: smooth
The waves you may find
- Most commonMost common0.4 ft
- Significant0.8 ft
- Highest expectedHighest1.7 ft
One wave in seven is higher than the significant height, and about 3 times a day one reaches 1.7 ft. Before heading out, expect waves of up to 1.7 ft.
Wind on the coast and offshore
Onshore wind. The coast faces southeast and the wind blows straight in from the sea: more surf and backwash at the shore, and bait and boats drift toward land.
Wave height, next 7 daysWaves, next 7 days
Waves stay much the same all week. The biggest waves arrive on Thursday 29: 1.2 ft with a period of 3 s, from the east-southeast (smooth).
Water temperature
Water temperature →Water temperature changes how fish behave: in very cold or very warm water they feed less. The water is steady these days, with no sudden changes.

Your diving day at a glance
The best window, 12:20 pm to 3:20 pm, combines slack water at low tide, little swell, light wind, weak current and the sun high. Also good from 9:00 am to 10:30 am, with slack water at high 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.

Moon phase and position
Today the moon is 226,837 mi away and looks 32′ 43″ across.
Solunar periods
Today's activity: high- 3:01–5:01 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity
- 3:33–5:33 pm Major · the moon passes underfoot · high activity
- 12:19–1:19 pm Minor · moonset · medium activity
- 7:49–8:49 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.

- 66 ft deepnot within 3.1 mi

For fishing, swimming and diving
- Shore fishing. Shallow, gradual bottom (16 ft at 2.9 mi): cast far from the beach and fish the high tide, when there is more water close in.
- Swimming. A very gentle way in with plenty of shallow water, good for kids. At low tide the water can be far out.
- Diving. Shallow: the water doesn't reach 33 ft within 3.1 mi. For deeper dives, take a boat farther out.
Inside bays, estuaries and harbors the bottom changes a lot from spot to spot (channels and shoals): use this only as a rough guide.
