Today's high and low tides

  • ▲ High tide 2:03 am 5.2 ft · coef. 102
  • ▼ Low tide 8:17 am 0.5 ft
  • ▲ High tide 2:57 pm 6.2 ft · coef. 100

↓ Falling The tide is falling. 3 h 18 min to low tide at 9:05 pm.

Tide coefficient 102 for the 2:03 am high tide and 100 for the 2:57 pm high tide. Big spring tides. The water rises and falls 5.7 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 July 16 (6.8 ft) and the lowest, on April 19 (0.1 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 27 to 28 (coefficient 102, 5.7 ft range). The smallest, on October 19 (coefficient 25, 2.5 ft).

One wave in seven is higher than the significant height, and about 3 times a day one reaches 0.1 ft. Before heading out, expect waves of up to 0.1 ft.

Cross-offshore wind. The coast faces south and the wind comes off the land at an angle: calmer water near the shore, and bait and boats drift out to sea.

Your diving day at a glance

The best window, 2:10 pm to 3:30 pm, combines slack water at high tide, small waves, light wind and the sun high, though with current. Also worth a look from 10:40 am to 1:10 pm, with small waves, light wind, weak current and the sun high, though with tidal 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.

Today's activity: high
  • 1:58–3:58 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity
  • 2:29–4:29 pm Major · the moon passes underfoot · high 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.
