↑ Rising The tide is rising. 22 min to high tide at 2:51 am.
Tide coefficient 78 for the 2:51 am high tide and 77 for the 3:10 pm high tide. Average coefficient. The water rises and falls 34.4 ft between the highest high and the lowest low: an average 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 (40.2 ft) and the lowest, on May 18 (1.7 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 82, 35.6 ft range). The smallest, from October 18 to 20 (coefficient 49, 22.2 ft).

Where this tide comes from
Wolfville has no station of its own, so we use the tide at Spencers Island (TICON-4), 24 mi away. On the open coast the difference is usually a few minutes and inches; inside estuaries, rivers and enclosed bays it can be much larger.

The sea at Wolfville
Sea stateSea state: smooth
The waves you may find
- Most commonMost common0.6 ft
- Significant1.2 ft
- Highest expectedHighest2.6 ft
One wave in seven is higher than the significant height, and about 3 times a day one reaches 2.6 ft. Before heading out, expect waves of up to 2.6 ft.
Wind on the coast and offshore
Cross-offshore wind. The coast faces north and the wind comes off the land at an angle: calmer water near the shore, and bait and boats drift out to sea.
Wave height, next 7 daysWaves, next 7 days
Waves build over the next few days. The biggest waves arrive on Monday 2: 2.4 ft with a period of 3 s, from the west (slight).
Water temperature
Water temperature →The satellite measured 2.9 °F more 2 days ago than the model gives now: the water is probably warmer than the forecast says.
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 48.1 °F by Wednesday 4.
Water colder than normal for late October (−1.7 °F).

Your diving day at a glance
The best window, 1:50 pm to 4:10 pm, combines slack water at high tide, little swell, light wind, weak current and the sun high. Also worth a look from 8:10 am to 10:30 am, with slack water at low tide, little swell 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 Wolfville
Moon phase and position
Today the moon is 226,718 mi away and looks 32′ 44″ across.
Solunar periods
Today's activity: medium- 2:54–4:54 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity
- 3:27–5:27 pm Major · the moon passes underfoot · high activity
- 11:53 am–12:53 pm Minor · moonset · medium activity
- 8:01–9:01 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.
