Tides in Seal Cove
Today's high and low tides
- ▲ High tide 2:15 am 14.7 ft · coef. 83
- ▼ Next low tide 8:20 am 0.1 ft
- ▲ High tide 2:32 pm 16.0 ft · coef. 81
- ▼ Low tide 8:56 pm -1.1 ft
↓ Falling The tide is falling. 3 h 18 min to low tide at 8:20 am.
Tide coefficient 83 for the 2:15 am high tide and 81 for the 2:32 pm high tide. Average coefficient. The water rises and falls 17.1 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 25 (16.8 ft) and the lowest, on May 18 (-2.1 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, 17.6 ft range). The smallest, from October 18 to 19 (coefficient 48, 10.3 ft).

Where this tide comes from
Seal Cove has no station of its own, so we use the tide at Cutler (NOAA), 18 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 Seal Cove
Sea stateSea state: slight
The waves you may find
- Most commonMost common1.2 ft
- Significant2.4 ft
- Highest expectedHighest5.0 ft
One wave in seven is higher than the significant height, and about 3 times a day one reaches 5.0 ft. Before heading out, expect waves of up to 5.0 ft.
Wind on the coast and offshore
The model doesn't separate offshore wind here: it's the same as on the coast.
Cross-onshore wind. The coast faces southwest and the wind comes in from the sea at an angle: a bit more surf at the shore and drift along the coast, toward land.
Wave height, next 7 daysWaves, next 7 days
Waves build over the next few days. The biggest waves arrive on Wednesday 4: 6.6 ft with a period of 6 s, from the south-southwest (moderate).
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.

Surf in Seal Cove today

- 0.7 ft swell at 5 s from the south-southwest, short: weak, messy waves

- Rising tide (high tide at 2:32 pm)
- Light: First light 7:31 am · sunrise 8:01 am · sunset 6:20 pm · last light 6:51 pm
- Tide: high 2:15 am (14.7 ft), low 8:20 am (0.1 ft), high 2:32 pm (16.0 ft) and low 8:56 pm (-1.1 ft). Every break has its own tide: some work at low tide and others at high tide. The tide doesn’t change the score here.
- Water at 51.8 °F: a 5/4 fullsuit with booties (and a hood if it’s windy).
- Energy: 11 kJ · Low power
Today’s surf at a glance
The best window is 8:00 am to 12:00 pm, though with a short-period swell and wind swell.
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.
Follow the flags and the lifeguards, and don’t paddle out if the surf is above your level: this score is a guide, not a substitute for what you see when you get there.

Your diving day at a glance
The best window, 7:30 am to 8:30 am, combines slack water at low tide, light wind and weak current, though with low light. Also worth a look from 1:50 pm to 3:20 pm, with slack water at high tide 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.

The moon in Seal Cove
Moon phase and position
Today the moon is 226,718 mi away and looks 32′ 44″ across.
Solunar periods
Today's activity: medium- 3:05–5:05 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity
- 3:37–5:37 pm Major · the moon passes underfoot · high activity
- 12:01–1:01 pm Minor · moonset · medium activity
- 8:14–9:14 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 0.35 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 0.8 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).
