Tides in Burnt Islands
Today's high and low tides
- ▼ Next low tide 6:02 am 0.4 ft
- ▲ High tide 12:49 pm 5.0 ft · coef. 88
- ▼ Low tide 6:50 pm 1.5 ft
↓ Falling The tide is falling. 1 h 15 min to low tide at 6:02 am.
Tide coefficient 88 for the 12:49 pm high tide. Average coefficient. The water rises and falls 4.6 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 (5.3 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 26 to 28 (coefficient 97, 4.7 ft range). The smallest, on October 19 (coefficient 33, 1.9 ft).

Where this tide comes from
Burnt Islands has no station of its own, so we use the tide at Port Aux Basques (TICON-4), 12 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 Burnt Islands
Sea stateSea state: slight
The waves you may find
- Most commonMost common1.9 ft
- Significant3.9 ft
- Highest expectedHighest8.0 ft
One wave in seven is higher than the significant height, and about 3 times a day one reaches 8.0 ft. Before heading out, expect waves of up to 8.0 ft.
Wind on the coast and offshore
Cross-offshore wind. The coast faces south 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 Monday 2: 6.4 ft with a period of 6 s, from the southwest (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 42.1 °F by Wednesday 4.
Water colder than normal for late October (−3.1 °F).

Surf in Burnt Islands today
Surf today
Poor- 1.7–2.6 ft surf at the shore, a fun size for most surfers
- 2.7 ft swell at 5 s from the west-southwest, short: weak, messy waves
- Light offshore wind (10 mph): it holds up and grooms the waves
- Rising tide (high tide at 12:49 pm)
- Light: First light 7:33 am · sunrise 8:05 am · sunset 6:13 pm · last light 6:45 pm
- Tide: low 6:02 am (0.4 ft), high 12:49 pm (5.0 ft) and low 6:50 pm (1.5 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 43.9 °F: a 6/5 hooded fullsuit with booties and gloves.
- Energy: 43 kJ · Low power
Today’s surf at a glance
The best window, 8:00 am to 12:00 pm, has light offshore wind, though with a short-period swell. 5:00 pm to 6:45 pm can also work, though with a short-period 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.
Diving in Burnt Islands today
Diving and snorkeling today
Likely visibility: good- 2.8 ft swell at 5 s from the west-southwest: some surge on the bottom
- Light cross-shore wind (9 mph)
- 0.2 mph current toward the east, weak (model)
- Daylight
- Slack water today: high tide 11:49 pm (11:30 pm–12:10 am), low tide 6:02 am (5:40–6:20 am), high tide 12:49 pm (12:30–1:10 pm) and low tide 6:50 pm (6:20–7:20 pm)
- Likely visibility: good. Swell (up to 3.3 ft at 7 s) over the last few days has stirred up the water. Based on the last 24 hours of data.
- Water at 43.9 °F: a drysuit, with hood, gloves and booties.
- Snorkeling: better not, with these waves, wind or current.
- Night dive: dark from 6:45 pm. Waning gibbous (84%), rising at 8:24 pm: a bright night.
Your diving day at a glance
The best window, 5:30 pm to 6:10 pm, combines light wind and weak current. Also worth a look from 12:00 pm to 1:40 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.

Moon phase and position
Today the moon is 226,704 mi away and looks 32′ 44″ across.
Solunar periods
Today's activity: medium- 3:01–5:01 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity
- 3:34–5:34 pm Major · the moon passes underfoot · high activity
- 12:14–1:14 pm Minor · moonset · medium activity
- 7:54–8:54 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 3.1 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 3.1 mi. For deeper dives, take a boat farther out.
