Today's high and low tides

  • ▲ High tide 10:50 am 6.8 ft · coef. 85
  • ▼ Low tide 5:39 pm 0.8 ft
  • ▲ High tide 11:36 pm 6.0 ft · coef. 81

↓ Falling The tide is falling. 34 min to low tide at 4:53 am.

Tide coefficient 85 for the 10:50 am high tide and 81 for the 11:36 pm high tide. Average coefficient. The water rises and falls 6.0 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 (7.3 ft) and the lowest, on June 16 (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 92, 6.3 ft range). The smallest, from October 18 to 19 (coefficient 40, 3.1 ft).

Tides from the Boutiliers Point station (TICON-4), 1.1 mi from Ingramport. Times and heights are its predictions.

How we calculate the tide

Sea and waves

The sea at Ingramport

7-day waves

Sea stateSea state: smooth

Smooth Douglas 2 · moderate breeze, Beaufort 4
Waves 0.8 ft · 5.3 s from the south-southwest (198°)
Swell 0.5 ft · 4.1 s from the southwest
Current 0.1 mph toward the E

The waves you may find

  • Most commonMost common0.4 ft
  • Significant0.8 ft
  • Highest expectedHighest1.7 ft

One wave in seven is higher than the significant height, and about 3 times a day one reaches 1.7 ft. Before heading out, expect waves of up to 1.7 ft.

Wind on the coast and offshore

On the coast 7 mph WSW · gusts 13
Offshore (11 mi S)Offshore 13 mph WSW · gusts 19

Cross-onshore wind. The coast faces south 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.

Your diving day at a glance

The best window, 10:00 am to 11:40 am, combines slack water at high tide, little swell, light wind, weak current and the sun high. Also good from 4:40 pm to 6:10 pm, with slack water at low tide, little swell, light wind and weak 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.

Solunar periods

Today's activity: medium
  • 2:53–4:53 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity
  • 3:25–5:25 pm Major · the moon passes underfoot · high activity
  • 11:49 am–12:49 pm Minor · moonset · medium activity
  • 8:02–9:02 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.

Water depth

Very shallow

Very shallow and flat: even 3.1 mi from shore the water is less than 16 ft deep.

From the shoreline (0.45 mi from Ingramport) out to sea, heading south.

How far from shore

  • 16 ft deepnot within 3.1 mi
  • 33 ft deepnot within 3.1 mi
  • 66 ft deepnot within 3.1 mi
  • 164 ft deepnot within 3.1 mi

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.

Inside bays, estuaries and harbors the bottom changes a lot from spot to spot (channels and shoals): use this only as a rough guide.
