Today's high and low tides

- ▼ Next low tide 12:25 pm 1.5 ft
- ▲ High tide 7:04 pm 4.8 ft · coef. 92
↓ Falling The tide is falling. 4 h 21 min to low tide at 12:25 pm.
Tide coefficient 95 for the 7:56 am high tide and 92 for the 7:04 pm high tide. Spring tides. The water rises and falls 4.5 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).

Where this tide comes from
Tracadie-Sheila has no station of its own, so we use the tide at Lower Escuminac (TICON-4), 30 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 Tracadie-Sheila
Sea stateSea state: smooth
The waves you may find
- Most commonMost common0.7 ft
- Significant1.4 ft
- Highest expectedHighest3.0 ft
One wave in seven is higher than the significant height, and about 3 times a day one reaches 3.0 ft. Before heading out, expect waves of up to 3.0 ft.
Wind on the coast and offshore
Cross-offshore wind. The coast faces east 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 Wednesday 4: 4.1 ft with a period of 4 s, from the south (moderate).
Water temperature
Water temperature →Water temperature changes how fish behave: in very cold or very warm water they feed less. The water cools over the next few days: about 47.6 °F by Wednesday 4.

Your diving day at a glance
The best window, 10:10 am to 1:10 pm, combines slack water at low tide, little swell, light wind, weak current and the sun high.
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.

The moon in Tracadie-Sheila
Moon phase and position
Today the moon is 226,718 mi away and looks 32′ 44″ across.
Solunar periods
Today's activity: medium- 2:57–4:57 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity
- 3:29–5:29 pm Major · the moon passes underfoot · high activity
- 12:08–1:08 pm Minor · moonset · medium activity
- 7:50–8:50 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. Very shallow: the water doesn't reach 16 ft within 1.6 mi. Cast far from the beach, ideally around high tide.
- 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 1.6 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). There is land ahead (an island, a headland or the far shore) 1.6 mi out.
