↑ Rising The tide is rising. 3 h 54 min to high tide at 10:43 pm.
Tide coefficient 90 for the 10:00 am high tide and 88 for the 10:43 pm high tide. Spring tides. The water rises and falls 6.1 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 (7.1 ft) and the lowest, on June 16 (0.0 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, 6.2 ft range). The smallest, from October 18 to 19 (coefficient 40, 3.0 ft).

The sea at Millview
Sea stateSea state: slight
The waves you may find
- Most commonMost common1.0 ft
- Significant1.9 ft
- Highest expectedHighest3.9 ft
One wave in seven is higher than the significant height, and about 3 times a day one reaches 3.9 ft. Before heading out, expect waves of up to 3.9 ft.
Wind on the coast and offshore
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.
Wave height, next 7 daysWaves, next 7 days
Waves build over the next few days. The biggest waves arrive on Friday 30: 4.4 ft with a period of 5 s, from the south-southwest (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 50.7 °F by Tuesday 3.

Diving in Millview today

- Sun high: more light underwater
- Slack water today: low tide 4:07 am (3:30–4:40 am), high tide 10:00 am (9:40–10:20 am), low tide 4:47 pm (4:20–5:10 pm) and high tide 10:43 pm (10:20–11:10 pm)
- Likely visibility: good. Swell (up to 2.6 ft) over the last few days has stirred up the water. Based on the last 24 hours of data.
- Water at 51.8 °F: a 7 mm semi-dry suit, with hood, gloves and booties.
- Snorkeling: doable, with some waves or wind.
- Night dive: dark from 6:39 pm. Waning gibbous (92%), rising at 7:29 pm: a bright night.
Your diving day at a glance
The best window, 9:20 am to 10:50 am, combines slack water at high tide, small waves, light wind, weak current and the sun high. Also worth a look from 3:40 pm to 5:30 pm, with slack water at low tide, small waves and light wind, though with 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.

The moon in Millview
Moon phase and position
Today the moon is 226,432 mi away and looks 32′ 47″ across.
Solunar periods
Today's activity: high- 1:47–3:47 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity
- 2:19–4:19 pm Major · the moon passes underfoot · high activity
- 10:36–11:36 am Minor · moonset · medium activity
- 6:59–7:59 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 0.8 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 0.8 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) 0.8 mi out.
