Today's high and low tides

- ▼ Next low tide 7:02 am 0.6 ft
- ▲ High tide 1:53 pm 4.3 ft · coef. 79
- ▼ Low tide 8:13 pm 1.7 ft
↓ Falling The tide is falling. 4 h 44 min to low tide at 7:02 am.
Tide coefficient 84 for the 12:52 am high tide and 79 for the 1:53 pm high tide. Average coefficient. The water rises and falls 3.7 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 January 3 (4.7 ft) and the lowest, on May 17 (-0.1 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 25 to 27 (coefficient 94, 4.0 ft range). The smallest, on October 18 (coefficient 30, 1.7 ft).

The sea at Flower's Cove
Sea stateSea state: moderate
The waves you may find
- Most commonMost common2.4 ft
- Significant4.7 ft
- Highest expectedHighest9.8 ft
One wave in seven is higher than the significant height, and about 3 times a day one reaches 9.8 ft. Before heading out, expect waves of up to 9.8 ft.
Wind on the coast and offshore
Onshore wind. The coast faces west and the wind blows straight in from the sea: more surf and backwash at the shore, and bait and boats drift toward land.
Wave height, next 7 daysWaves, next 7 days
Waves build over the next few days. The biggest waves arrive on Friday 30: 5.8 ft with a period of 5 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 is steady these days, with no sudden changes.
Water colder than normal for late October (−1.0 °F).

- Tide: high 12:52 am (3.6 ft), low 7:02 am (0.6 ft), high 1:53 pm (4.3 ft) and low 8:13 pm (1.7 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.

Today’s surf at a glance
The best window, 8:00 am to 12:00 pm, has a good size, though with a short-period swell, wind swell and onshore wind.
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 Flower's Cove today

Likely visibility: good- Slack water around high tide (1:53 pm): little current from 1:30 pm to 2:30 pm

- Likely visibility: good. Swell (up to 2.6 ft at 5 s) over the last few days has stirred up the water. Based on the last 24 hours of data.
- Water at 43.3 °F: a drysuit, with hood, gloves and booties.
- Snorkeling: better not, with these waves, wind or current.
- Night dive: dark from 6:30 pm. Waning gibbous (84%), rising at 7:51 pm: a bright night.
Your diving day at a glance
The best window, 1:20 pm to 2:30 pm, combines slack water at high tide, weak current and the sun high, 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.

Moon phase and position
Today the moon is 226,704 mi away and looks 32′ 44″ across.
Solunar periods
Today's activity: medium- 2:52–4:52 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity
- 3:25–5:25 pm Major · the moon passes underfoot · high activity
- 12:29–1:29 pm Minor · moonset · medium activity
- 7:21–8:21 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.

- 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.
