Tide coefficient 105 for the 9:17 am high tide and 101 for the 9:47 pm high tide. Big spring tides. The water rises and falls 3.7 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 (2.2 ft) and the lowest, on April 19 (-1.9 ft).
Mixed: two high and two low tides a day, but of quite different heights.
Heights above mean sea level. Astronomical prediction: wind and air pressure can raise or lower the water by a few inches, and more in a storm. Not for navigation. mean sea level

Where this tide comes from
Lumsden has no tide station nearby: its tide is calculated with the global FES2022 model, from the nearest model cells offshore (the first one 1.4 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 Lumsden
Sea stateSea state: rough
The waves you may find
- Most commonMost common4.3 ft
- Significant8.5 ft
- Highest expectedHighest17 ft
One wave in seven is higher than the significant height, and about 3 times a day one reaches 17 ft. Before heading out, expect waves of up to 17 ft.
Wind on the coast and offshore
Cross-offshore wind. The coast faces northeast 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: 9.1 ft with a period of 9 s, from the north (rough).
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 43.4 °F by Tuesday 3.

- 6.8 ft swell at 10 s from the north, average
- Fresh cross-shore wind (22 mph): a bit of chop
- Falling tide (low tide at 3:44 pm)
Big surf: for experienced surfers only. If in doubt, stay on the beach.
- Light: First light 7:13 am · sunrise 7:46 am · sunset 5:50 pm · last light 6:23 pm
- Tide: low 2:54 am (-1.5 ft), high 9:17 am (2.0 ft), low 3:44 pm (-1.7 ft) and high 9:47 pm (1.0 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.

Today’s surf at a glance
The best window, 1:00 pm to 3:00 pm, has a good size, though with big surf and cross-shore wind. 7:13 am to 9:00 am can also work, with a good size, though with wind swell and cross-shore 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 Lumsden today
Diving and snorkeling today
Likely visibility: poor- Slack water around high tide (9:17 am): little current from 9:00 am to 9:32 am
- 5.4 ft swell at 9 s from the north: strong surge on the bottom
- Moderate cross-shore wind (17 mph)

- Daylight
Not a day for shore diving: swell, wind, current or storms during the best window. If you go, go with a dive shop and only if they give the OK.
- Slack water today: low tide 2:54 am (2:39–3:10 am), high tide 9:17 am (9:00–9:32 am), low tide 3:44 pm (3:29–4:00 pm) and high tide 9:47 pm (9:30–10:10 pm)
- Likely visibility: poor. Swell (up to 6.0 ft at 10 s) over the last few days has stirred up the water. Based on the last 24 hours of data.
- Water at 45.1 °F: a drysuit, with hood, gloves and booties.
- Snorkeling: better not, with these waves, wind or current.
- Night dive: dark from 6:23 pm. Waning gibbous (92%), rising at 6:52 pm: a bright night.
Your diving day at a glance
The best window, 8:30 am to 9:30 am, lines up with slack water at high tide, though with a big swell, moderate 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.

Moon phase and position
Today the moon is 226,434 mi away and looks 32′ 47″ across.
Solunar periods
Today's activity: high- 1:35–3:35 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity
- 2:07–4:07 pm Major · the moon passes underfoot · high activity
- 10:48–11:48 am Minor · moonset · medium activity
- 6:22–7:22 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 3.1 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 3.1 mi. For deeper dives, take a boat farther out.
