Tide coefficient 97 for the 10:00 am high tide and 91 for the 10:31 pm high tide. Spring tides. The water rises and falls 3.8 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 (2.4 ft) and the lowest, on April 19 (-2.1 ft).
Mixed: two high and two low tides a day, but of quite different heights.
Heights above mean sea level. Astronomical prediction: wind and air pressure can raise or lower the water by a few inches, and more in a storm. Not for navigation. mean sea level
Tide coefficient and range in October
The biggest tides of the month came from October 26 to 28 (coefficient 107, 4.1 ft range). The smallest, from October 19 to 20 (coefficient 24, 1.1 ft).

Where this tide comes from
Chance Cove has no tide station nearby: its tide is calculated with the global FES2022 model, from the nearest model cells offshore (the first one 1.2 mi away). It may differ from the real tide by a few minutes and inches, and more with wind or storms. Heights are above mean sea level, not chart datum, so low tides are negative. Not for navigation.
Model attribution: FES2022 Tide was produced by LEGOS, NOVELTIS and CLS, funded by CNES, and distributed by AVISO (https://doi.org/10.24400/527896/a01-2024.004), AVISO licence (https://www.aviso.altimetry.fr/fileadmin/documents/data/License_Aviso.pdf). Modified by TidePlanet: constants interpolated from the nearest model cells offshore; heights above mean sea level.
The sea at Chance Cove
Sea stateSea state: smooth
The waves you may find
- Most commonMost common0.8 ft
- Significant1.5 ft
- Highest expectedHighest3.3 ft
One wave in seven is higher than the significant height, and about 3 times a day one reaches 3.3 ft. Before heading out, expect waves of up to 3.3 ft.
Wind on the coast and offshore
Cross-offshore wind. The coast faces northeast 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 Friday 30: 3.4 ft with a period of 4 s, from the southwest (slight).
Water temperature
Water temperature →The satellite measured 2.7 °F more 2 days ago than the model gives now: the water is probably warmer than the forecast says.
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.
Water colder than normal for late October (−2.2 °F).

Diving in Chance Cove today
Diving and snorkeling today
Likely visibility: good- Slack water around high tide (10:00 am): little current from 9:40 am to 10:20 am
- 0.7 ft swell at 5 s from the southwest: barely any surge
- Moderate offshore wind (13 mph): it pushes surface swimmers away from shore
- 0.3 mph current toward the northeast, weak (model)
- Sun high: more light underwater
- Slack water today: low tide 3:42 am (3:27–4:00 am), high tide 10:00 am (9:40–10:20 am), low tide 4:38 pm (4:20–4:53 pm) and high tide 10:31 pm (10:10–10:50 pm)
- Likely visibility: good. The sea has been calm and there's been little rain. Based on the last 24 hours of data.
- Water at 45.1 °F: a drysuit, with hood, gloves and booties.
- Snorkeling: doable, with some waves or wind.
- Night dive: dark from 6:24 pm. Waning gibbous (84%), rising at 8:03 pm: a bright night.
Your diving day at a glance
The best window, 9:30 am to 10:40 am, combines slack water at high tide, little swell, weak current and the sun high, though with moderate wind. Also worth a look from 4:10 pm to 5:10 pm, with slack water at low tide, little swell and weak current, though with moderate wind.
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.

Moon phase and position
Today the moon is 226,704 mi away and looks 32′ 44″ across.
Solunar periods
Today's activity: medium- 2:40–4:40 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity
- 3:13–5:13 pm Major · the moon passes underfoot · high activity
- 11:53 am–12:53 pm Minor · moonset · medium activity
- 7:33–8:33 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.
Inside bays, estuaries and harbors the bottom changes a lot from spot to spot (channels and shoals): use this only as a rough guide.
