Tide coefficient 105 for the 9:12 am high tide and 101 for the 9:41 pm high tide. Big 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 (2.2 ft) and the lowest, on April 19 (-1.9 ft).

Mixed: two high and two low tides a day, but of quite different heights.

Where this tide comes from

M · Global model

Greenspond has no tide station nearby: its tide is calculated with the global FES2022 model, from the nearest model cells offshore (the first one 0.1 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.

Sea and waves

The sea at Greenspond

7-day waves

Sea stateSea state: slight

Slight Douglas 3 · moderate breeze, Beaufort 4
Waves 2.6 ft · 9.2 s from the north (9°)
Swell 2.1 ft · 9.3 s from the north-northeast
Current 0.2 mph toward the ESE

The waves you may find

  • Most commonMost common1.3 ft
  • Significant2.6 ft
  • Highest expectedHighest5.2 ft

One wave in seven is higher than the significant height, and about 3 times a day one reaches 5.2 ft. Before heading out, expect waves of up to 5.2 ft.

Wind on the coast and offshore

On the coast 11 mph WSW · gusts 19
Offshore (5.5 mi SSE)Offshore 17 mph W · gusts 23

Cross-offshore wind. The coast faces southeast and the wind comes off the land at an angle: calmer water near the shore, and bait and boats drift out to sea.

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.

Your diving day at a glance

The best window, 8:10 am to 9:30 am, lines up with slack water at high tide, though with moderate wind and current. Also worth a look from 3:00 pm to 4:20 pm, with slack water at low tide, weak current and the sun high, though with fresh 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.

Solunar periods

Today's activity: high
  • 1:35–3:35 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity
  • 2:07–4:07 pm Major · the moon passes underfoot · high activity
  • 10:46–11:46 am Minor · moonset · medium activity
  • 6:23–7:23 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.

Water depth

Very shallow

Very shallow and flat: even 3.1 mi from shore the water is less than 16 ft deep.

From the shoreline out to sea, heading southeast.

How far from shore

  • 16 ft deepnot within 3.1 mi
  • 33 ft deepnot within 3.1 mi
  • 66 ft deepnot within 3.1 mi
  • 164 ft deepnot within 3.1 mi

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.
