The best window, 3:10 pm to 4:20 pm, combines the 4:12 pm low tide and a major period, though with rising pressure. Also worth a try from 2:30 am to 3:50 am, with the 3:33 am low tide, a major period and some swell, though with rising pressure.

  • ▲ High tide 10:20 pm 6.6 ft · coef. 82

↓ Falling The tide is falling. 5 h 45 min to low tide at 4:14 am.

Tide coefficient 80 for the 9:34 am high tide and 82 for the 10:20 pm high tide. Average coefficient. The water rises and falls 6.4 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 26 (8.6 ft) and the lowest, on December 27 (-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 9 to 11 (coefficient 96, 7.0 ft range). The smallest, from October 18 to 19 (coefficient 33, 2.3 ft).

Sea and waves

The sea at Liverpool

7-day waves

Sea stateSea state: smooth

Smooth Douglas 2 · moderate breeze, Beaufort 4
Waves 1.4 ft · 7.7 s from the south-southeast (150°)
Swell 1.2 ft · 7.2 s from the southeast
Current 0.0 mph toward the E

The waves you may find

  • Most commonMost common0.7 ft
  • Significant1.4 ft
  • Highest expectedHighest2.8 ft

One wave in seven is higher than the significant height, and about 3 times a day one reaches 2.8 ft. Before heading out, expect waves of up to 2.8 ft.

Wind on the coast and offshore

On the coast 8 mph WSW · gusts 14
Offshore (11 mi ESE)Offshore 13 mph W · gusts 19

Offshore wind. The coast faces east and the wind blows from land out to sea: calm shore and clean waves, but watch the drift out to sea.

Waves stay much the same all week. The biggest waves arrive on Friday 30: 2.6 ft with a period of 4 s, from the south-southwest (slight).

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).

Your diving day at a glance

The best window, 3:30 pm to 4:50 pm, combines slack water at low tide, little swell, light wind and weak current. Also good from 9:10 am to 10:20 am, with slack water at high tide, 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: high
  • 1:52–3:52 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity
  • 2:24–4:24 pm Major · the moon passes underfoot · high activity
  • 10:37–11:37 am Minor · moonset · medium activity
  • 7:06–8:06 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.
