Today's high and low tides

- ▲ High tide 1:05 pm 5.2 ft · coef. 81

↓ Falling The tide is falling. 10 min to low tide at 6:26 am.
Tide coefficient 86 for the 12:17 am high tide and 81 for the 1:05 pm high tide. Average coefficient. 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 25 (5.6 ft) and the lowest, on May 17 (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 27 (coefficient 95, 4.7 ft range). The smallest, on October 18 (coefficient 27, 1.8 ft).

Where this tide comes from
L'Anse-au-Loup has no station of its own, so we use the tide at Forteau Bay (TICON-4), 5.1 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.

Sea stateSea state: slight
The waves you may find
- Most commonMost common2.0 ft
- Significant4.1 ft
- Highest expectedHighest8.4 ft
One wave in seven is higher than the significant height, and about 3 times a day one reaches 8.4 ft. Before heading out, expect waves of up to 8.4 ft.
Wind on the coast and offshore
Offshore wind. The coast faces east and the wind blows from land out to sea: calm shore and clean waves, but watch the drift out to sea.

Waves build over the next few days. The biggest waves arrive on Friday 30: 5.9 ft with a period of 6 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 cools over the next few days: about 37.6 °F by Wednesday 4.

Diving in L'Anse-au-Loup today
Diving and snorkeling today
Likely visibility: good- Tidal current running: mid-tide, the water is moving
- 1.6 ft swell at 6 s from the south-southeast: some surge on the bottom

- Likely visibility: good. Swell (up to 3.2 ft at 5 s) over the last few days has stirred up the water. Based on the last 24 hours of data.
- Water at 39.0 °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 7:50 pm: a bright night.
Your diving day at a glance
The best window, 4:30 pm to 6:30 pm, lines up with weak current, though with tidal current and moderate wind. Also worth a look from 12:30 pm to 1:40 pm, with slack water at high tide, light wind and the sun high, though with 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.

Moon phase and position
Today the moon is 226,704 mi away and looks 32′ 44″ across.
Solunar periods
Today's activity: medium- 2:53–4:53 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity
- 3:25–5:25 pm Major · the moon passes underfoot · high activity
- 12:31–1:31 pm Minor · moonset · medium activity
- 7:20–8:20 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 1.1 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 1.1 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) 1.1 mi out.
