- ▲ Next high tide 10:54 pm 6.0 ft · coef. 92
↑ Rising The tide is rising. 42 min to high tide at 10:54 pm.
Tide coefficient 95 for the 10:38 am high tide and 92 for the 10:54 pm high tide. Spring tides. The water rises and falls 6.5 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 25 (7.6 ft) and the lowest, on April 18 (0.1 ft).
Semidiurnal: two high and two low tides a day, of similar height.
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 97, 6.6 ft range). The smallest, on October 19 (coefficient 35, 2.6 ft).

The sea at St. Lawrence
Sea stateSea state: moderate
The waves you may find
- Most commonMost common2.8 ft
- Significant5.6 ft
- Highest expectedHighest11 ft
One wave in seven is higher than the significant height, and about 3 times a day one reaches 11 ft. Before heading out, expect waves of up to 11 ft.
Wind on the coast and offshore
Cross-offshore wind. The coast faces south 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 Monday 2: 7.9 ft with a period of 7 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 is steady these days, with no sudden changes.
Water colder than normal for late October (−1.6 °F).

Surf in St. Lawrence today
Surf today
Poor- 1.5–2.3 ft surf at the shore, a fun size for most surfers
- 2.4 ft swell at 8 s from the west-southwest, short: weak, messy waves; it hits this coast at an angle
- 3.9 ft wind swell at 4 s: messy waves
- Fresh offshore wind (19 mph): it holds up and grooms the waves
- First or last light of the day
- Rising tide (high tide at 10:38 am)
- Light: First light 7:17 am · sunrise 7:48 am · sunset 6:02 pm · last light 6:33 pm
- Tide: low 3:51 am (0.8 ft), high 10:38 am (7.2 ft), low 4:37 pm (0.7 ft) and high 10:54 pm (6.0 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.
- Water at 46.4 °F: a 6/5 hooded fullsuit with booties and gloves.
- Energy: 101 kJ · Medium power
Today’s surf at a glance
The best window, 7:17 am to 11:00 am, has light offshore wind, though with a short-period swell and wind swell. 5:00 pm to 6:33 pm can also work, with light offshore wind, though with a short-period swell and wind 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.
Diving in St. Lawrence today
Diving and snorkeling today
Likely visibility: good- Slack water around high tide (10:38 am): little current from 10:20 am to 11:00 am
- 5.4 ft waves: careful getting in and out
- Fresh offshore wind (21 mph): it pushes surface swimmers away from shore
- 0.9 mph current toward the south (model)
- Sun high: more light underwater
- Slack water today: low tide 3:51 am (3:30–4:10 am), high tide 10:38 am (10:20–11:00 am), low tide 4:37 pm (4:20–5:00 pm) and high tide 10:54 pm (10:30–11:20 pm)
- Likely visibility: good. Swell (up to 3.8 ft at 5 s) over the last few days has stirred up the water. Based on the last 24 hours of data.
- Water at 46.4 °F: a drysuit, with hood, gloves and booties.
- Snorkeling: better not, with these waves, wind or current.
- Night dive: dark from 6:33 pm. Waning gibbous (92%), rising at 7:13 pm: a bright night.
Your diving day at a glance
The best window, 10:00 am to 11:20 am, combines slack water at high tide and the sun high, though with waves, fresh wind and current. Also worth a look from 3:50 pm to 5:20 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.
Never dive alone and check with the local dive shop: this rating is a guide, not a substitute for a professional.

Moon phase and position
Today the moon is 226,434 mi away and looks 32′ 47″ across.
Solunar periods
Today's activity: high- 1:43–3:43 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity
- 2:15–4:15 pm Major · the moon passes underfoot · high activity
- 10:42–11:42 am Minor · moonset · medium activity
- 6:43–7:43 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 800 ft. 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 800 ft. For deeper dives, take a boat farther out.
There is little open water ahead: in a cove or small bay, cells of about 380 ft cannot show the bottom well near the rocks. There is land ahead (an island, a headland or the far shore) 800 ft out.
