↓ Falling The tide is falling. 6 h 35 min to low tide at 5:00 am.
Tide coefficient 95 for the 9:59 am high tide and 92 for the 10:18 pm high tide. Spring tides. The water rises and falls 5.5 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 November 25 (6.5 ft) and the lowest, on April 18 (0.2 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 96, 5.6 ft range). The smallest, on October 19 (coefficient 37, 2.4 ft).

The sea at Arichat
Sea stateSea state: smooth
The waves you may find
- Most commonMost common0.5 ft
- Significant1.0 ft
- Highest expectedHighest2.0 ft
One wave in seven is higher than the significant height, and about 3 times a day one reaches 2.0 ft. Before heading out, expect waves of up to 2.0 ft.
Wind on the coast and offshore
The model doesn't separate offshore wind here: it's the same as on the coast.
Cross-offshore wind. The coast faces southeast 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 Friday 30: 2.5 ft with a period of 4 s, from the southwest (slight).
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.

Your diving day at a glance
The best window, 3:30 pm to 5:10 pm, combines slack water at low tide, little swell, light wind and weak current. Also worth a look from 9:30 am to 10:40 am, with slack water at high tide, little swell, weak current and the sun high, though with moderate 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 226,432 mi away and looks 32′ 47″ across.
Solunar periods
Today's activity: high- 1:36–3:36 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity
- 2:08–4:08 pm Major · the moon passes underfoot · high activity
- 10:28–11:28 am Minor · moonset · medium activity
- 6:44–7:44 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 0.3 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 0.3 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. There is land ahead (an island, a headland or the far shore) 0.3 mi out.
