  • ▲ High tide 10:32 pm 3.5 ft · coef. 90

↑ Rising The tide is rising. 4 h 22 min to high tide at 10:03 am.

Tide coefficient 97 for the 10:03 am high tide and 90 for the 10:32 pm high tide. Spring tides. The water rises and falls 4.0 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 (5.0 ft) and the lowest, on July 16 (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 108, 4.4 ft range). The smallest, on October 19 (coefficient 20, 1.2 ft).

Where this tide comes from

B · Nearby station

Seldom-Little Seldom has no station of its own, so we use the tide at Joe Batts Arm (TICON-4), 9.1 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.

How we calculate the tide

Sea and waves

The sea at Seldom-Little Seldom

7-day waves

Sea stateSea state: slight

Slight Douglas 3 · fresh breeze, Beaufort 5
Waves 3.0 ft · 6.6 s from the north-northwest (329°)
Swell 2.0 ft · 8.6 s from the north
Current 0.8 mph toward the ESE

The waves you may find

  • Most commonMost common1.5 ft
  • Significant3.0 ft
  • Highest expectedHighest6.2 ft

One wave in seven is higher than the significant height, and about 3 times a day one reaches 6.2 ft. Before heading out, expect waves of up to 6.2 ft.

Wind on the coast and offshore

On the coast 18 mph W · gusts 26

The model doesn't separate offshore wind here: it's the same as on the coast.

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.

Your diving day at a glance

The best window, 3:20 pm to 5:20 pm, combines slack water at low tide and weak current, though with moderate wind. Also worth a look from 9:40 am to 10:40 am, with slack water at high tide and the sun high, though with 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.

Solunar periods

Today's activity: medium
  • 2:42–4:42 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity
  • 3:14–5:14 pm Major · the moon passes underfoot · high activity
  • 12:06–1:06 pm Minor · moonset · medium activity
  • 7:22–8:22 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.

Water depth

Very shallow

Very shallow and flat: even 3.1 mi from shore the water is less than 16 ft deep.

From the shoreline (0.3 mi from Seldom-Little Seldom) out to sea, heading east.

How far from shore

  • 16 ft deepnot within 3.1 mi
  • 33 ft deepnot within 3.1 mi
  • 66 ft deepnot within 3.1 mi
  • 164 ft deepnot within 3.1 mi

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.
