- ▼ Low tide 3:09 am 0.9 ft
- ▲ High tide 9:37 am 4.8 ft · coef. 104
- ▼ Low tide 4:05 pm 0.6 ft
- ▲ Next high tide 9:54 pm 3.8 ft · coef. 101
↑ Rising The tide is rising. 2 h 25 min to high tide at 9:54 pm.
Tide coefficient 104 for the 9:37 am high tide and 101 for the 9:54 pm high tide. Big spring tides. The water rises and falls 4.2 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 (5.2 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 105, 4.2 ft range). The smallest, from October 19 to 20 (coefficient 29, 1.5 ft).

Where this tide comes from
Small Point-Adam's Cove-Blackhead-Broad Cove has no station of its own, so we use the tide at St Johns (TICON-4), 26 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 Small Point-Adam's Cove-Blackhead-Broad Cove
Sea stateSea state: slight
The waves you may find
- Most commonMost common0.9 ft
- Significant1.8 ft
- Highest expectedHighest3.7 ft
One wave in seven is higher than the significant height, and about 3 times a day one reaches 3.7 ft. Before heading out, expect waves of up to 3.7 ft.
Wind on the coast and offshore
Cross-offshore wind. The coast faces east and the wind comes off the land at an angle: calmer water near the shore, and bait and boats 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: 4.5 ft with a period of 5 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 cools over the next few days: about 44.7 °F by Tuesday 3.
Water about normal for late October.

Surf in Small Point-Adam's Cove-Blackhead-Broad Cove today
Surf today
Poor- 1.0–1.5 ft surf at the shore, small: good for learning or a longboard
- 0.9 ft swell at 7 s from the north-northeast, short: weak, messy waves
- Fresh offshore wind (19 mph): it holds up and grooms the waves
- Falling tide (low tide at 4:05 pm)
- Light: First light 7:09 am · sunrise 7:41 am · sunset 5:51 pm · last light 6:23 pm
- Tide: low 3:09 am (0.9 ft), high 9:37 am (4.8 ft), low 4:05 pm (0.6 ft) and high 9:54 pm (3.8 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 46.8 °F: a 6/5 hooded fullsuit with booties and gloves.
- Energy: 14 kJ · Low power
Today’s surf at a glance
The best window, 2:00 pm to 6:00 pm, has light offshore wind, though with small waves and 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, 3:00 pm to 5:20 pm, combines slack water at low tide, little swell and weak current, though with fresh wind. Also worth a look from 8:50 am to 10:30 am, with slack water at high tide, little swell and weak current, though with fresh 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- 1:33–3:33 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity
- 2:05–4:05 pm Major · the moon passes underfoot · high activity
- 10:37–11:37 am Minor · moonset · medium activity
- 6:28–7:28 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.
