↓ Falling The tide is falling. 5 h 49 min to low tide at 6:42 am.
Tide coefficient 111 for the 3:35 pm high tide and 112 for the 8:21 pm high tide. Big spring tides. The water rises and falls 3.8 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 December 24 (4.9 ft) and the lowest, on June 16 (-0.2 ft).
Mixed, mainly diurnal: on many days there is only one high and one low tide.
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 come from October 29 to 30 (coefficient 113, 3.9 ft range). The smallest, on October 23 (coefficient 20, 0.7 ft).

Where this tide comes from
Bouctouche has no station of its own, so we use the tide at Shediac Bay (TICON-4), 19 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 Bouctouche
Sea stateSea state: slight
The waves you may find
- Most commonMost common0.9 ft
- Significant1.8 ft
- Highest expectedHighest4.0 ft
One wave in seven is higher than the significant height, and about 3 times a day one reaches 4.0 ft. Before heading out, expect waves of up to 4.0 ft.
Wind on the coast and offshore
Cross-offshore wind. The coast faces southeast 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 Saturday 31: 4.0 ft with a period of 4 s, from the north-northwest (slight).
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.
Water colder than normal for late October (−2.3 °F).

Your diving day at a glance
The best window, 5:30 pm to 6:10 pm, combines slack water at low tide, small waves and weak current, though with moderate wind. Also worth a look from 3:10 pm to 4:00 pm, with slack water at high tide, small waves and the sun high, though with moderate wind and 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.

Moon phase and position
Today the moon is 226,718 mi away and looks 32′ 44″ across.
Solunar periods
Today's activity: medium- 2:56–4:56 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity
- 3:28–5:28 pm Major · the moon passes underfoot · high activity
- 12:02–1:02 pm Minor · moonset · medium activity
- 7:55–8:55 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.
