Tides in Quathiaski Cove
Today's high and low tides
- ▼ Low tide 12:32 am 1.1 ft
- ▲ High tide 7:58 am 12.9 ft · coef. 90
- ▼ Low tide 12:31 pm 10.4 ft
- ▲ Next high tide 6:09 pm 12.9 ft · coef. 89
↑ Rising The tide is rising. 1 h 14 min to high tide at 6:09 pm.
Tide coefficient 90 for the 7:58 am high tide and 89 for the 6:09 pm high tide. Spring tides. The water rises and falls 11.8 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 (14.0 ft) and the lowest, on June 15 (-0.6 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 92, 11.8 ft range). The smallest, from October 18 to 19 (coefficient 37, 8.0 ft).

The sea at Quathiaski Cove
Sea stateSea state: calm (rippled)
The waves you may find
- Most commonMost common0.0 ft
- Significant0.1 ft
- Highest expectedHighest0.1 ft
One wave in seven is higher than the significant height, and about 3 times a day one reaches 0.1 ft. Before heading out, expect waves of up to 0.1 ft.
Wind on the coast and offshore
Cross-offshore wind. The coast faces southwest and the wind comes off the land at an angle: calmer water near the shore, and bait and boats drift out to sea.
Wave height, next 7 daysWaves, next 7 days
Waves stay much the same all week. The biggest waves arrive on Monday 2: 1.0 ft with a period of 3 s, from the 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, 11:40 am to 2:40 pm, combines slack water at low tide, little swell, light wind, weak current and the sun high. Also good from 8:00 am to 8:50 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.

The moon in Quathiaski Cove
Moon phase and position
Today the moon is 226,426 mi away and looks 32′ 47″ across.
Solunar periods
Today's activity: high- 2:04–4:04 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity
- 2:36–4:36 pm Major · the moon passes underfoot · high activity
- 11:25 am–12:25 pm Minor · moonset · medium activity
- 6:44–7:44 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.
