Tides in Norman's Cove-Long Cove
Today's high and low tides
- ▼ Low tide 3:27 am 1.1 ft
- ▲ High tide 9:47 am 5.1 ft · coef. 104
- ▼ Low tide 4:16 pm 0.7 ft
- ▲ Next high tide 10:05 pm 4.0 ft · coef. 101
↑ Rising The tide is rising. 1 h 37 min to high tide at 10:05 pm.
Tide coefficient 104 for the 9:47 am high tide and 101 for the 10:05 pm high tide. Big spring tides. The water rises and falls 4.3 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 October 28 (5.1 ft) and the lowest, on June 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 28 (coefficient 105, 4.3 ft range). The smallest, from October 19 to 20 (coefficient 25, 1.3 ft).

Where this tide comes from
Norman's Cove-Long Cove has no station of its own, so we use the tide at Holyrood Bay (TICON-4), 27 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.

Waves build over the next few days. The biggest waves arrive on Sunday 1: 3.3 ft with a period of 4 s, from the north (slight).

Your diving day at a glance
The best window, 9:10 am to 10:30 am, combines slack water at high tide, little swell and weak current, though with moderate wind. Also worth a look from 3:30 pm to 4:50 pm, with slack water at low tide, little swell and weak current, though with moderate 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.

Moon phase and position
Today the moon is 226,434 mi away and looks 32′ 47″ across.
Solunar periods
Today's activity: high- 1:36–3:36 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity
- 2:07–4:07 pm Major · the moon passes underfoot · high activity
- 10:38–11:38 am Minor · moonset · medium activity
- 6:32–7:32 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.
Inside bays, estuaries and harbors the bottom changes a lot from spot to spot (channels and shoals): use this only as a rough guide.
