Today's high and low tides

- ▲ High tide 10:03 am 4.7 ft · coef. 97
- ▼ Next low tide 4:23 pm 0.7 ft
- ▲ High tide 10:32 pm 3.5 ft · coef. 90
↓ Falling The tide is falling. 5 h 40 min to low tide at 4:23 pm.
Tide coefficient 97 for the 10:03 am high tide and 90 for the 10:32 pm high tide. Spring tides. The water rises and falls 4.0 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).

The sea at Joe Batt's Arm-Barr'd Islands-Shoal Bay
Sea stateSea state: slight
The waves you may find
- Most commonMost common1.4 ft
- Significant2.8 ft
- Highest expectedHighest5.7 ft
One wave in seven is higher than the significant height, and about 3 times a day one reaches 5.7 ft. Before heading out, expect waves of up to 5.7 ft.
Wind on the coast and offshore
The model doesn't separate offshore wind here: it's the same as on the coast.
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 stay much the same all week. The biggest waves arrive on Thursday 29: 3.5 ft with a period of 8 s, from the north-northwest (slight).
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 41.2 °F by Wednesday 4.
Water warmer than normal for late October (+1.2 °F).

Surf in Joe Batt's Arm-Barr'd Islands-Shoal Bay today
Surf today
Poor- 2.0–3.1 ft surf at the shore, a fun size for most surfers
- 1.8 ft swell at 8 s from the north, a bit short
- 2.1 ft wind swell at 3 s: messy waves
- Fresh onshore wind (24 mph): choppy, blown-out waves
- First or last light of the day
- Rising tide (high tide at 10:03 am)
- Light: First light 7:17 am · sunrise 7:51 am · sunset 5:49 pm · last light 6:23 pm
- Tide: low 3:32 am (0.7 ft), high 10:03 am (4.7 ft), low 4:23 pm (0.7 ft) and high 10:32 pm (3.5 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.
- Water at 42.4 °F: a 6/5 hooded fullsuit with booties and gloves.
- Energy: 50 kJ · Low power
Today’s surf at a glance
The best window, 7:17 am to 11:00 am, has a good size, though with 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 Joe Batt's Arm-Barr'd Islands-Shoal Bay today

- Likely visibility: fair. Swell (up to 3.2 ft at 10 s) and wind over the last few days have stirred up the water. Based on the last 24 hours of data.
- Water at 42.4 °F: a drysuit, with hood, gloves and booties.
- Snorkeling: doable, with some waves or wind.
- Night dive: dark from 6:23 pm. Waning gibbous (84%), rising at 7:51 pm: a bright night.
Your diving day at a glance
The best window, 3:20 pm to 5:20 pm, combines slack water at low tide and weak current, though with moderate wind. Also worth a look from 9:50 am to 10:30 am, with slack water at high 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.

Moon phase and position
Today the moon is 226,704 mi away and looks 32′ 44″ across.
Solunar periods
Today's activity: medium- 2:42–4:42 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity
- 3:14–5:14 pm Major · the moon passes underfoot · high activity
- 12:07–1:07 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.

For fishing, swimming and diving
- Shore fishing. Very shallow: the water doesn't reach 16 ft within 0.3 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 0.3 mi. For deeper dives, take a boat farther out.
There is little open water ahead: in a cove or small bay, cells of about 380 ft cannot show the bottom well near the rocks. There is land ahead (an island, a headland or the far shore) 0.3 mi out.
