2026 extremes: the highest tide of the year is on December 25 (2.3 ft) and the lowest, on April 19 (-2.0 ft).
Mixed: two high and two low tides a day, but of quite different heights.

Where this tide comes from
Old Perlican has no tide station nearby: its tide is calculated with the global FES2022 model, from the nearest model cells offshore (the first one 1.8 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 Old Perlican
Sea stateSea state: slight
The waves you may find
- Most commonMost common2.0 ft
- Significant3.9 ft
- Highest expectedHighest7.9 ft
One wave in seven is higher than the significant height, and about 3 times a day one reaches 7.9 ft. Before heading out, expect waves of up to 7.9 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.
Wave height, next 7 daysWaves, next 7 days
Waves build over the next few days. The biggest waves arrive on Sunday 1: 6.6 ft with a period of 6 s, from the north (moderate).
Water temperature
Water temperature →Water temperature changes how fish behave: in very cold or very warm water they feed less. The water is steady these days, with no sudden changes.

Surf in Old Perlican today
Surf today
Fair- 2.3–3.5 ft surf at the shore, a fun size for most surfers
- 3.4 ft swell at 8 s from the north, a bit short
- Fresh offshore wind (18 mph): it holds up and grooms the waves
- Rising tide (high tide at 9:47 pm)
- Light: First light 7:09 am · sunrise 7:41 am · sunset 5:50 pm · last light 6:22 pm
- Tide: low 3:02 am (-1.6 ft), high 9:18 am (2.1 ft), low 3:52 pm (-1.8 ft) and high 9:47 pm (1.1 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 45.9 °F: a 6/5 hooded fullsuit with booties and gloves.
- Energy: 152 kJ · Medium power
Today’s surf at a glance
The best window, 4:00 pm to 6:00 pm, has a good size and light offshore wind. 12:00 pm to 3:00 pm can also work, with a good size and light offshore wind, though with a short-period swell.
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.

Your diving day at a glance
The best window, 8:40 am to 10:10 am, lines up with slack water at high tide, though with fresh wind and current. Also worth a look from 3:20 pm to 4:10 pm, with slack water at low tide and the sun high, though with some swell, fresh 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.

Moon phase and position
Today the moon is 226,434 mi away and looks 32′ 47″ across.
Solunar periods
Today's activity: high- 1:33–3:33 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity
- 2:05–4:05 pm Major · the moon passes underfoot · high activity
- 10:38–11:38 am Minor · moonset · medium activity
- 6:27–7:27 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.
