Tide coefficient 79 for the 2:04 am high tide and 79 for the 2:21 pm high tide. Average coefficient. The water rises and falls 35.2 ft between the highest high and the lowest low: an average 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 (40.2 ft) and the lowest, on May 18 (1.7 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

Where this tide comes from
Canning has no station of its own, so we use the tide at Spencers Island (TICON-4), 18 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 Canning
Sea state
The wave model doesn't reach Canning: it's on inland water (an estuary, sound or sheltered bay) or far from the open sea. Wind is still available right here.
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.
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 (−1.7 °F).

Moon phase and position
Today the moon is 226,432 mi away and looks 32′ 47″ across.
Solunar periods
Today's activity: high- 1:51–3:51 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity
- 2:22–4:22 pm Major · the moon passes underfoot · high activity
- 10:41–11:41 am Minor · moonset · medium activity
- 7:00–8:00 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.
