Your day at a glance

The best window, 7:40 am to 8:40 am, combines the 8:38 am high tide and sunrise. Also worth a try from 5:40 pm to 6:30 pm, with the 6:38 pm high tide and sunset, though with rising pressure. Also good from 1:00 pm to 3:00 pm, with the 1:57 pm low tide and a major period.

Today's high and low tides

  • ▼ Low tide 1:15 am 1.3 ft
  • ▲ High tide 8:38 am 15.5 ft · coef. 89
  • ▼ Low tide 1:57 pm 10.9 ft

↑ Rising The tide is rising. 1 h 44 min to high tide at 6:38 pm.

Tide coefficient 89 for the 8:38 am high tide and 87 for the 6:38 pm high tide. Average coefficient. The water rises and falls 14.2 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 (16.6 ft) and the lowest, on June 15 (-0.4 ft).

Mixed: two high and two low tides a day, but of quite different heights.

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 came from October 26 to 28 (coefficient 91, 14.2 ft range). The smallest, from October 18 to 19 (coefficient 38, 9.0 ft).

Sea and waves

The sea at Langdale

7-day waves

Sea stateSea state: calm (rippled)

Calm (rippled) Douglas 1 · moderate breeze, Beaufort 4
Waves 0.3 ft · 1.9 s from the southeast (135°)
Swell 0.1 ft · 1.9 s from the west-northwest
Current 0.4 mph toward the NW

The waves you may find

  • Most commonMost common0.1 ft
  • Significant0.3 ft
  • Highest expectedHighest0.6 ft

One wave in seven is higher than the significant height, and about 3 times a day one reaches 0.6 ft. Before heading out, expect waves of up to 0.6 ft.

Wind on the coast and offshore

On the coast 2 mph N · gusts 6
Offshore (13 mi S)Offshore 13 mph ESE · gusts 17

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

Waves stay much the same all week. The biggest waves arrive on Thursday 29: 1.5 ft with a period of 3 s, from the east (smooth).

Water temperature changes how fish behave: in very cold or very warm water they feed less. The water cools over the next few days: about 52.6 °F by Tuesday 3.

Water warmer than normal for late October (+2.4 °F).

Your diving day at a glance

The best window, 12:40 pm to 3:40 pm, combines slack water at low tide, little swell, light wind, weak current and the sun high. Also good from 8:00 am to 9:30 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.

Solunar periods

Today's activity: high
  • 1:57–3:57 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity
  • 2:29–4:29 pm Major · the moon passes underfoot · high activity
  • 11:14 am–12:14 pm Minor · moonset · medium activity
  • 6:41–7:41 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.
