Today's high and low tides

  • ▲ High tide 9:17 am 1.9 ft · coef. 101
  • ▼ Low tide 12:41 pm 1.6 ft

↑ Rising The tide is rising. 1 h 4 min to high tide at 7:59 pm.

Tide coefficient 101 for the 9:17 am high tide and 106 for the 7:59 pm high tide. Big spring tides. The water rises and falls 3.3 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 November 26 (4.1 ft) and the lowest, on May 18 (-0.1 ft).

Mixed, mainly diurnal: on many days there is only one high and one low tide.

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 come from October 29 to 30 (coefficient 114, 3.5 ft range). The smallest, on October 23 (coefficient 24, 1.0 ft).

Where this tide comes from

B · Nearby station

Mount Stewart has no station of its own, so we use the tide at Rustico (TICON-4), 21 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.

How we calculate the tide

Sea and waves

The sea at Mount Stewart

7-day waves

Sea stateSea state: slight

Slight Douglas 3 · moderate breeze, Beaufort 4
Waves 2.3 ft · 4.9 s from the north-northwest (333°)
Swell 2.0 ft · 4.6 s from the north-northwest

The waves you may find

  • Most commonMost common1.1 ft
  • Significant2.3 ft
  • Highest expectedHighest4.8 ft

One wave in seven is higher than the significant height, and about 3 times a day one reaches 4.8 ft. Before heading out, expect waves of up to 4.8 ft.

Wind on the coast and offshore

On the coast 9 mph WSW · gusts 19
Offshore (11 mi NNE)Offshore 18 mph WSW · gusts 25

Cross-onshore wind. The coast faces southwest and the wind comes in from the sea at an angle: a bit more surf at the shore and drift along the coast, toward land.

Your diving day at a glance

The best window, 11:50 am to 1:30 pm, combines slack water at low tide, light wind, weak current and the sun high. Also worth a look from 8:40 am to 9:50 am, with slack water at high tide, light wind and weak current, though with some swell.

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
  • 1:44–3:44 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity
  • 2:16–4:16 pm Major · the moon passes underfoot · high activity
  • 10:40–11:40 am Minor · moonset · medium activity
  • 6:47–7:47 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 (1.4 mi from Mount Stewart) out to sea, heading southwest.

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.
