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

Where this tide comes from
Lewisporte has no tide station nearby: its tide is calculated with the global FES2022 model, from the nearest model cells offshore (the first one 3.2 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.
The sea at Lewisporte
Sea stateSea state: slight
The waves you may find
- Most commonMost common1.2 ft
- Significant2.4 ft
- Highest expectedHighest4.7 ft
One wave in seven is higher than the significant height, and about 3 times a day one reaches 4.7 ft. Before heading out, expect waves of up to 4.7 ft.
Wind on the coast and offshore
Cross-offshore wind. The coast faces east 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 Wednesday 28: 3.3 ft with a period of 6 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 42.7 °F by Tuesday 3.

Diving in Lewisporte today
Diving and snorkeling today
Likely visibility: good- Slack water around low tide (4:03 pm): little current from 3:40 pm to 4:20 pm
- 2.0 ft swell at 11 s from the north: some surge on the bottom
- Moderate offshore wind (17 mph): it pushes surface swimmers away from shore
- 0.1 mph current toward the east, weak (model)
- Daylight
- Slack water today: low tide 3:12 am (2:50–3:30 am), high tide 9:53 am (9:30–10:10 am), low tide 4:03 pm (3:40–4:20 pm) and high tide 10:26 pm (10:00–10:50 pm)
- Likely visibility: good. Swell (up to 1.8 ft at 10 s) over the last few days has stirred up the water. Based on the last 24 hours of data.
- Water at 44.8 °F: a drysuit, with hood, gloves and booties.
- Snorkeling: doable, with some waves or wind.
- Night dive: dark from 6:29 pm. Waning gibbous (92%), rising at 6:58 pm: a bright night.
Your diving day at a glance
The best window, 3:20 pm to 4:40 pm, combines slack water at low tide and weak current, though with moderate wind. Also worth a look from 8:40 am to 10:30 am, with slack water at high tide and weak current, 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 226,434 mi away and looks 32′ 47″ across.
Solunar periods
Today's activity: high- 1:42–3:42 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity
- 2:13–4:13 pm Major · the moon passes underfoot · high activity
- 10:54–11:54 am Minor · moonset · medium activity
- 6:28–7:28 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.
