Tides in Blacks Harbour
Today's high and low tides
- ▲ High tide 1:31 am 19.7 ft · coef. 84
- ▼ Low tide 7:48 am -0.3 ft
- ▲ High tide 1:48 pm 21.1 ft · coef. 83
- ▼ Next low tide 8:19 pm -1.6 ft
↓ Falling The tide is falling. 27 min to low tide at 8:19 pm.
Tide coefficient 84 for the 1:31 am high tide and 83 for the 1:48 pm high tide. Average coefficient. The water rises and falls 22.7 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 25 (21.7 ft) and the lowest, on May 18 (-2.3 ft).
Semidiurnal: two high and two low tides a day, of similar height.
Heights above mean lower low water (MLLW), the zero of US nautical 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. MLLW
Tide coefficient and range in October
The biggest tides of the month came from October 26 to 29 (coefficient 84, 22.8 ft range). The smallest, from October 18 to 19 (coefficient 49, 13.6 ft).

Where this tide comes from
Blacks Harbour has no station of its own, so we use the tide at Eastport (NOAA), 14 mi away. On the open coast the difference is usually a few minutes and inches; inside estuaries, rivers and enclosed bays it can be much larger.

The sea at Blacks Harbour
Sea stateSea state: smooth
The waves you may find
- Most commonMost common0.6 ft
- Significant1.1 ft
- Highest expectedHighest2.5 ft
One wave in seven is higher than the significant height, and about 3 times a day one reaches 2.5 ft. Before heading out, expect waves of up to 2.5 ft.
Wind on the coast and offshore
Cross-shore wind. The coast faces southeast and the wind blows along the shore: drift and current run parallel to the beach.
Wave height, next 7 daysWaves, next 7 days
Waves build over the next few days. The biggest waves arrive on Thursday 29: 2.9 ft with a period of 4 s, from the south-southwest (slight).
Water temperature
Water temperature →The satellite measured 2.7 °F more yesterday than the model gives now: the water is probably warmer than the forecast says.
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.
Water colder than normal for late October (−1.9 °F).

The best window, 7:30 am to 11:00 am, has glassy water, though with barely any waves.
An estimate for this stretch of coast, not for a specific break: every beach or reef works its own way (its tide, bottom and angle). Check it when you get there.

Your diving day at a glance
The best window, 8:00 am to 8:40 am, combines slack water at low tide, little swell, light wind and weak current. Also worth a look from 1:10 pm to 3:00 pm, with slack water at high tide, little swell, light wind and the sun high, though with 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 Blacks Harbour
Moon phase and position
Today the moon is 226,432 mi away and looks 32′ 47″ across.
Solunar periods
Today's activity: high- 2:00–4:00 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity
- 2:32–4:32 pm Major · the moon passes underfoot · high activity
- 10:50–11:50 am Minor · moonset · medium activity
- 7:10–8:10 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.
