↓ Falling The tide is falling. 1 h 44 min to low tide at 3:40 am.
Tide coefficient 97 for the 10:07 am high tide and 90 for the 10:35 pm high tide. Spring tides. The water rises and falls 3.6 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 (4.7 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
Tide coefficient and range in October
The biggest tides of the month came from October 26 to 28 (coefficient 106, 3.8 ft range). The smallest, on October 19 (coefficient 23, 1.1 ft).

Where this tide comes from
Newman's Cove has no station of its own, so we use the tide at Bonavista (TICON-4), 5.8 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: moderate
The waves you may find
- Most commonMost common3.6 ft
- Significant7.2 ft
- Highest expectedHighest14 ft
One wave in seven is higher than the significant height, and about 3 times a day one reaches 14 ft. Before heading out, expect waves of up to 14 ft.
Wind on the coast and offshore
Cross-shore wind. The coast faces north and the wind blows along the shore: drift and current run parallel to the beach.
Wave height, next 7 daysWaves, next 7 days
Waves build over the next few days. The biggest waves arrive on Sunday 1: 8.6 ft with a period of 7 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 43.9 °F by Wednesday 4.

Surf in Newman's Cove today
Surf today
Fair- 3.6–5.5 ft surf at the shore, a good size with some punch
- 4.5 ft swell at 9 s from the north, a bit short
- Light cross-shore wind (12 mph): a bit of chop
- Falling tide (low tide at 4:38 pm)
- Light: First light 7:12 am · sunrise 7:44 am · sunset 5:48 pm · last light 6:20 pm
- Tide: low 3:40 am (1.0 ft), high 10:07 am (4.4 ft), low 4:38 pm (0.8 ft) and high 10:35 pm (3.3 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 45.1 °F: a 6/5 hooded fullsuit with booties and gloves.
- Energy: 297 kJ · Medium power
Today’s surf at a glance
The best window, 2:00 pm to 6:00 pm, has a good size, though with 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 Newman's Cove today
Diving and snorkeling today
Likely visibility: poor- Slack water around low tide (4:38 pm): little current from 4:20 pm to 5:00 pm
- 4.3 ft swell at 9 s from the north: strong surge on the bottom
- Light cross-shore wind (11 mph)
- 0.6 mph current toward the east (model)
- Daylight
- Slack water today: low tide 3:40 am (3:20–4:00 am), high tide 10:07 am (9:50–10:22 am), low tide 4:38 pm (4:20–5:00 pm) and high tide 10:35 pm (10:10–11:00 pm)
- Likely visibility: poor. Swell (up to 8.1 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 6:20 pm. Waning gibbous (84%), rising at 7:54 pm: a bright night.
Your diving day at a glance
The best window, 3:30 pm to 5:20 pm, combines slack water at low tide and light wind, though with some swell and current. Also worth a look from 9:50 am to 10:30 am, with slack water at high tide, light wind and the sun high, though with a big swell 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 226,704 mi away and looks 32′ 44″ across.
Solunar periods
Today's activity: medium- 2:38–4:38 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity
- 3:10–5:10 pm Major · the moon passes underfoot · high activity
- 11:56 am–12:56 pm Minor · moonset · medium activity
- 7:24–8:24 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.
