Tides in Havre Boucher
Today's high and low tides
- ▼ Low tide 5:08 am 0.7 ft
- ▲ High tide 12:09 pm 4.6 ft · coef. 104
- ▼ Low tide 5:13 pm 2.9 ft
- ▲ Next high tide 10:51 pm 5.4 ft · coef. 103
↑ Rising The tide is rising. 3 h 58 min to high tide at 10:51 pm.
Tide coefficient 104 for the 12:09 pm high tide and 103 for the 10:51 pm high tide. Big spring tides. The water rises and falls 4.7 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 February 1 (6.9 ft) and the lowest, on June 16 (-0.2 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 27 to 28 (coefficient 104, 4.7 ft range). The smallest, from October 19 to 20 (coefficient 35, 2.2 ft).

The sea at Havre Boucher
Sea stateSea state: slight
The waves you may find
- Most commonMost common1.2 ft
- Significant2.4 ft
- Highest expectedHighest5.1 ft
One wave in seven is higher than the significant height, and about 3 times a day one reaches 5.1 ft. Before heading out, expect waves of up to 5.1 ft.
Wind on the coast and offshore
Cross-onshore wind. The coast faces northwest and the wind comes in from the sea at an angle: a bit more surf at the shore and drift along the coast, toward land.
Wave height, next 7 daysWaves, next 7 days
Waves stay much the same all week. The biggest waves arrive on Wednesday 28: 5.6 ft with a period of 6 s, from the north-northwest (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 49.3 °F by Tuesday 3.
Water colder than normal for late October (−1.6 °F).

Moon phase and position
Today the moon is 226,432 mi away and looks 32′ 47″ across.
Solunar periods
Today's activity: high- 1:39–3:39 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity
- 2:10–4:10 pm Major · the moon passes underfoot · high activity
- 10:31–11:31 am Minor · moonset · medium activity
- 6:45–7:45 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 3.1 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 3.1 mi. For deeper dives, take a boat farther out.
