Today's high and low tides

- ▲ High tide 7:19 pm 13.7 ft · coef. 79
↓ Falling The tide is falling. 1 h 18 min to low tide at 2:02 am.
Tide coefficient 82 for the 9:35 am high tide and 79 for the 7:19 pm high tide. Average coefficient. The water rises and falls 14.1 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 (16.8 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 9 to 11 (coefficient 91, 10.6 ft range). The smallest, from October 18 to 19 (coefficient 41, 9.4 ft).

The sea at University Endowment Lands
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
Offshore wind. The coast faces west 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 Saturday 31: 1.0 ft with a period of 3 s, from the west (smooth).

Moon phase and position
Today the moon is 226,837 mi away and looks 32′ 43″ across.
Solunar periods
Today's activity: high- 3:00–5:00 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity
- 3:33–5:33 pm Major · the moon passes underfoot · high activity
- 12:23–1:23 pm Minor · moonset · medium activity
- 7:44–8:44 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.
