Your day at a glance

The best window, 7:20 am to 8:20 am, combines the 7:17 am low tide and sunrise, though with rising pressure. Also good from 6:50 pm to 7:50 pm, with the 7:42 pm low tide and moonrise. Also worth a try from 12:40 pm to 2:40 pm, with the 1:39 pm high tide and a major period, though with rising pressure.

Species with the most records nearby: winter flounder, haddock, Atlantic cod and Atlantic mackerel. October is one of the months when these are seen most: haddock and Atlantic cod. What you can catch

Today's high and low tides

  • ▲ High tide 12:05 am 8.1 ft · coef. 86
  • ▼ Low tide 7:17 am 0.7 ft
  • ▲ High tide 1:39 pm 7.9 ft · coef. 87

↓ Falling The tide is falling. 51 min to low tide at 7:42 pm.

Tide coefficient 86 for the 12:05 am high tide and 87 for the 1:39 pm high tide. Average coefficient. The water rises and falls 7.4 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 August 14 (9.0 ft) and the lowest, on May 19 (0.0 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 10 to 13 (coefficient 102, 7.7 ft range). The smallest, from October 20 to 21 (coefficient 38, 3.4 ft).

Sea and waves

The sea at Tidnish

Hourly wind

Sea state

The wave model doesn't reach Tidnish: 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

On the coast 9 mph WSW · gusts 17
Offshore (0.6 mi NE)Offshore 7 mph WSW · gusts 13

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.

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 47.1 °F by Tuesday 3.

Water colder than normal for late October (−2.7 °F).

Solunar periods

Today's activity: high
  • 1:49–3:49 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity
  • 2:21–4:21 pm Major · the moon passes underfoot · high activity
  • 10:43–11:43 am Minor · moonset · medium activity
  • 6:54–7:54 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

Shallow, gradual

Shallow, gradual bottom: 0 ft at 0.4 mi.

From the shoreline (0.3 mi from Tidnish) out to sea, heading east.

How far from shore

  • 16 ft deepnot within 0.4 mi
  • 33 ft deepnot within 0.4 mi
  • 66 ft deepnot within 0.4 mi
  • 164 ft deepnot within 0.4 mi

For fishing, swimming and diving

  • Shore fishing. Very shallow: the water doesn't reach 16 ft within 0.4 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 0.4 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) 0.4 mi out.
