↓ Falling The tide is falling. 1 h 2 min to low tide at 5:15 am.
Tide coefficient 87 for the 12:01 pm high tide. Average coefficient. The water rises and falls 5.8 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 January 4 (7.0 ft) and the lowest, on April 19 (0.2 ft).
Semidiurnal: two high and two low tides a day, of similar height.
Heights above chart datum: the lowest astronomical tide (LAT), the zero of nautical charts in Europe. Astronomical prediction: wind and air pressure can raise or lower the water by a few inches, and more in a storm. Not for navigation. chart datum (LAT)

Where this tide comes from
Seal Cove has no station of its own, so we use the tide at Miquelon (REFMAR (DTAM Saint-Pierre-et-Miquelon)), 30 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.

The sea at Seal Cove
Sea stateSea state: moderate
The waves you may find
- Most commonMost common3.1 ft
- Significant6.2 ft
- Highest expectedHighest13 ft
One wave in seven is higher than the significant height, and about 3 times a day one reaches 13 ft. Before heading out, expect waves of up to 13 ft.
Wind on the coast and offshore
Cross-onshore wind. The coast faces southwest and the wind comes in from the sea at an angle: a bit more surf at the shore and drift along the coast, toward land.
Wave height, next 7 daysWaves, next 7 days
Waves build over the next few days. The biggest waves arrive on Monday 2: 8.1 ft with a period of 6 s, from the west-southwest (moderate).
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 42.8 °F by Wednesday 4.

- Tide: low 5:15 am (0.6 ft), high 12:01 pm (6.4 ft) and low 5:56 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, 7:22 am to 11:00 am, has a good size, though with a short-period swell and wind swell. 1:00 pm to 5:00 pm can also work, with a good size, though with a short-period swell, wind swell and onshore 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.

Your diving day at a glance
The best window, 11:30 am to 12:30 pm, combines slack water at high tide, light wind, weak current and the sun high, though with waves. Also worth a look from 5:10 pm to 6:00 pm, with slack water at low tide and light wind, though with waves 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.

Solunar periods
Today's activity: medium- 2:50–4:50 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity
- 3:22–5:22 pm Major · the moon passes underfoot · high activity
- 12:01–1:01 pm Minor · moonset · medium activity
- 7:43–8:43 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.
