↑ Rising The tide is rising. 1 h 41 min to high tide at 11:49 pm.
Tide coefficient 95 for the 11:59 am high tide and 92 for the 11:49 pm high tide. Spring tides. The water rises and falls 4.7 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 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

Where this tide comes from
Isle aux Morts has no station of its own, so we use the tide at Port Aux Basques (TICON-4), 7.1 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 Isle aux Morts
Sea stateSea state: moderate
The waves you may find
- Most commonMost common2.6 ft
- Significant5.2 ft
- Highest expectedHighest11 ft
One wave in seven is higher than the significant height, and about 3 times a day one reaches 11 ft. Before heading out, expect waves of up to 11 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 stay much the same all week. The biggest waves arrive on Monday 2: 7.0 ft with a period of 6 s, from the west-southwest (moderate).
Water temperature
Water temperature →The satellite measured 2.7 °F more yesterday 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 cools over the next few days: about 42.3 °F by Tuesday 3.
Water colder than normal for late October (−3.1 °F).

Surf in Isle aux Morts today
Surf today
Poor- 1.5–2.4 ft surf at the shore, a fun size for most surfers
- 3.9 ft swell at 7 s from the west, short: weak, messy waves; it hits this coast at an angle
- 4.5 ft wind swell at 5 s: messy waves
- Moderate offshore wind (15 mph): it holds up and grooms the waves
- Rising tide (high tide at 11:59 am)
- Light: First light 7:32 am · sunrise 8:04 am · sunset 6:15 pm · last light 6:47 pm
- Tide: low 5:16 am (0.4 ft), high 11:59 am (5.1 ft), low 6:03 pm (1.3 ft) and high 11:49 pm (4.2 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.

- Energy: 215 kJ · Medium 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 and wind swell. 3:00 pm to 6:47 pm can also work, with light offshore wind, though with a short-period swell and wind 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.

Your diving day at a glance
The best window, 5:10 pm to 6:10 pm, lines up with slack water at low tide, though with waves, moderate wind and current. Also worth a look from 10:10 am to 12:50 pm, with slack water at high tide and the sun high, though with waves, fresh wind and current. Also worth a look from 2:30 pm to 4:10 pm, with weak current and the sun high, though with tidal current, waves and 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 226,434 mi away and looks 32′ 47″ across.
Solunar periods
Today's activity: high- 1:58–3:58 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity
- 2:30–4:30 pm Major · the moon passes underfoot · high activity
- 11:01 am–12:01 pm Minor · moonset · medium activity
- 6:54–7:54 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.
