Tides in Horwood
Today's high and low tides
- ▼ Low tide 2:53 am 0.6 ft
- ▲ High tide 9:21 am 4.8 ft · coef. 106
- ▼ Low tide 3:38 pm 0.4 ft
- ▲ High tide 9:39 pm 3.8 ft · coef. 102
↓ Falling The tide is falling. 4 h 54 min to low tide at 3:32 am.
Tide coefficient 106 for the 9:21 am high tide and 102 for the 9:39 pm high tide. Big spring tides. The water rises and falls 4.4 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 26 (5.0 ft) and the lowest, on July 16 (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 108, 4.4 ft range). The smallest, on October 19 (coefficient 20, 1.2 ft).

Where this tide comes from
Horwood has no station of its own, so we use the tide at Joe Batts Arm (TICON-4), 25 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 Horwood
Sea stateSea state: slight
The waves you may find
- Most commonMost common1.6 ft
- Significant3.1 ft
- Highest expectedHighest6.2 ft
One wave in seven is higher than the significant height, and about 3 times a day one reaches 6.2 ft. Before heading out, expect waves of up to 6.2 ft.
Wind on the coast and offshore
Cross-onshore wind. The coast faces northwest and the wind comes in from the sea at an angle: a bit more surf at the shore and drift along the coast, toward land.
Wave height, next 7 daysWaves, next 7 days
Waves ease over the next few days. The biggest waves arrive on Wednesday 28: 4.5 ft with a period of 8 s, from the north-northwest (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 41.6 °F by Tuesday 3.
Water about normal for late October.

- Likely visibility: fair. Swell (up to 2.2 ft at 11 s) and wind over the last few days have stirred up the water. Based on the last 24 hours of data.
- Water at 43.9–44.8 °F: a drysuit, with hood, gloves and booties.

Your diving day at a glance
The best window, 3:30 pm to 4:10 pm, combines slack water at low tide and the sun high, though with some swell, fresh wind and current. Also worth a look from 8:40 am to 9:40 am, with slack water at high tide, though with strong 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.
Never dive alone and check with the local dive shop: this rating is a guide, not a substitute for a professional.

The moon in Horwood
Moon phase and position
Today the moon is 226,434 mi away and looks 32′ 47″ across.
Solunar periods
Today's activity: high- 1:39–3:39 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity
- 2:11–4:11 pm Major · the moon passes underfoot · high activity
- 10:53–11:53 am Minor · moonset · medium activity
- 6:25–7:25 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 0.85 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 0.85 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. There is land ahead (an island, a headland or the far shore) 0.85 mi out.
