Today's high and low tides

- ▲ High tide 7:04 am 2.3 ft · coef. 99
- ▼ Low tide 11:49 am 1.5 ft
- ▲ High tide 6:18 pm 4.7 ft · coef. 98
↓ Falling The tide is falling. 7 h 17 min to low tide at 2:08 am.
Tide coefficient 99 for the 7:04 am high tide and 98 for the 6:18 pm high tide. Spring tides. The water rises and falls 4.4 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 (5.2 ft) and the lowest, on May 18 (0.0 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 27 to 28 (coefficient 99, 4.4 ft range). The smallest, from October 18 to 20 (coefficient 32, 2.1 ft).

The waves you may find
- Most commonMost common0.6 ft
- Significant1.2 ft

One wave in seven is higher than the significant height, and about 3 times a day one reaches 2.6 ft. Before heading out, expect waves of up to 2.6 ft.
Wind on the coast and offshore
Offshore wind. The coast faces northeast 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: 2.3 ft with a period of 3 s, from the north-northwest (slight).

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, 10:00 am to 12:40 pm, combines slack water at low tide, little swell, light wind, weak current and the sun high. Also good from 8:00 am to 9:00 am, with little swell, light wind and weak current. Also good from 5:30 pm to 6:40 pm, 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.

Moon phase and position
Today the moon is 226,432 mi away and looks 32′ 47″ across.
Solunar periods
Today's activity: high- 1:53–3:53 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity
- 2:24–4:24 pm Major · the moon passes underfoot · high activity
- 10:53–11:53 am Minor · moonset · medium activity
- 6:52–7:52 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.

- 66 ft deepnot within 3.1 mi
- 164 ft deepnot within 3.1 mi
For fishing, swimming and diving
- Shore fishing. Shallow, gradual bottom (16 ft at 0.75 mi): cast far from the beach and fish the high tide, when there is more water close in.
- Swimming. A very gentle way in with plenty of shallow water, good for kids. At low tide the water can be far out.
- Diving. Shallow near shore: you only reach 33 ft at 2.8 mi. For dives deeper than 33 ft, go by boat.
Rough estimate: here the data comes in cells of about 0.3 mi and misses details near shore (rocks, sandbars, small coves).
