↓ Falling The tide is falling. 3 h 33 min to low tide at 2:57 am.
Tide coefficient 100 for the 7:20 am high tide and 104 for the 6:28 pm high tide. Big spring tides. The water rises and falls 4.1 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 December 24 (5.2 ft) and the lowest, on May 18 (-0.1 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 111, 4.2 ft range). The smallest, on October 9 (coefficient 22, 2.1 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.

Your diving day at a glance
The best window, 11:00 am to 12:10 pm, combines slack water at low tide, little swell, light wind, weak current and the sun high. Also worth a look from 8:00 am to 9:10 am, with slack water at high tide, little swell and light wind, 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.

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

For fishing, swimming and diving
- Shore fishing. Shallow, gradual bottom (16 ft at 1.2 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: the water doesn't reach 33 ft within 3.1 mi. For deeper dives, take a boat farther out.
Rough estimate: here the data comes in cells of about 0.3 mi and misses details near shore (rocks, sandbars, small coves).
