Tides in Tahsis
Today's high and low tides
- ▲ High tide 2:55 am 11.1 ft · coef. 91
- ▼ Low tide 8:10 am 5.9 ft
- ▲ High tide 2:11 pm 13.4 ft · coef. 89
- ▼ Low tide 9:10 pm 1.0 ft
↑ Rising The tide is rising. 5 h 37 min to high tide at 3:49 am.
Tide coefficient 91 for the 2:55 am high tide and 89 for the 2:11 pm high tide. Spring tides. The water rises and falls 12.4 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 December 24 (14.2 ft) and the lowest, on June 16 (-0.2 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 9 to 11 (coefficient 94, 10.8 ft range). The smallest, from October 18 to 19 (coefficient 36, 5.9 ft).

The waves you may find
- Most commonMost common0.8 ft
- Significant1.6 ft
- Highest expectedHighest3.3 ft
One wave in seven is higher than the significant height, and about 3 times a day one reaches 3.3 ft. Before heading out, expect waves of up to 3.3 ft.
Wind on the coast and offshore
Cross-offshore wind. The coast faces south 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 build over the next few days. The biggest waves arrive on Tuesday 3: 3.4 ft with a period of 10 s, from the west-southwest (slight).

The moon in Tahsis
Moon phase and position
Today the moon is 226,426 mi away and looks 32′ 47″ across.
Solunar periods
Today's activity: high- 2:10–4:10 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity
- 2:42–4:42 pm Major · the moon passes underfoot · high activity
- 11:30 am–12:30 pm Minor · moonset · medium activity
- 6:51–7:51 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.
