2026 extremes: the highest tide of the year is on December 25 (8.2 ft) and the lowest, on April 18 (0.1 ft).
Semidiurnal: two high and two low tides a day, of similar height.

Where this tide comes from
St. Bride's has no station of its own, so we use the tide at Argentia (TICON-4), 28 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 St. Bride's
Sea stateSea state: moderate
The waves you may find
- Most commonMost common3.0 ft
- Significant6.0 ft
- Highest expectedHighest12 ft
One wave in seven is higher than the significant height, and about 3 times a day one reaches 12 ft. Before heading out, expect waves of up to 12 ft.
Wind on the coast and offshore
Onshore wind. The coast faces west and the wind blows straight in from the sea: more surf and backwash at the shore, and bait and boats drift toward land.
Wave height, next 7 daysWaves, next 7 days
Waves build over the next few days. The biggest waves arrive on Monday 2: 7.7 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 45.1 °F by Tuesday 3.
Water colder than normal for late October (−1.6 °F).

Surf in St. Bride's today
Surf today

- 3.1 ft swell at 6 s from the west-southwest, short: weak, messy waves
- 3.9 ft wind swell at 4 s: messy waves
- Fresh onshore wind (18 mph): choppy, blown-out waves
- First or last light of the day
- Rising tide (high tide at 10:26 am)
- Light: First light 7:12 am · sunrise 7:43 am · sunset 5:57 pm · last light 6:28 pm
- Tide: low 3:39 am (0.8 ft), high 10:26 am (7.8 ft), low 4:20 pm (0.7 ft) and high 10:40 pm (6.5 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, 7:12 am to 11:00 am, has 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, 10:00 am to 11:20 am, combines slack water at high tide, weak current and the sun high, though with waves and fresh wind. Also worth a look from 3:40 pm to 5:00 pm, with slack water at low tide, though with waves, 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- 1:38–3:38 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity
- 2:09–4:09 pm Major · the moon passes underfoot · high activity
- 10:37–11:37 am Minor · moonset · medium activity
- 6:38–7:38 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.
