- ▲ Next high tide 12:00 am 7.3 ft · coef. 94
↑ Rising The tide is rising. 5 h 5 min to high tide at 12:00 am.
Tide coefficient 95 for the 12:46 pm high tide and 94 for the 12:00 am high tide. Spring tides. The water rises and falls 6.3 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 December 25 (7.6 ft) and the lowest, on June 16 (-0.2 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 95, 6.3 ft range). The smallest, from October 19 to 20 (coefficient 35, 3.0 ft).

Where this tide comes from
Murray River has no station of its own, so we use the tide at Wood Islands (TICON-4), 7.9 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 Murray River
Sea stateSea state: slight
The waves you may find
- Most commonMost common1.0 ft
- Significant2.0 ft
- Highest expectedHighest4.2 ft
One wave in seven is higher than the significant height, and about 3 times a day one reaches 4.2 ft. Before heading out, expect waves of up to 4.2 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 stay much the same all week. The biggest waves arrive on Wednesday 28: 3.1 ft with a period of 4 s, from the west-northwest (slight).
Water temperature

Diving in Murray River today
Diving and snorkeling today

- 0.5 ft swell at 4 s from the north-northwest: barely any surge
- Moderate offshore wind (13 mph): it pushes surface swimmers away from shore
- 0.5 mph current toward the east-southeast, weak (model)
- Sun high: more light underwater
- Slack water today: low tide 5:49 am (5:30–6:10 am), high tide 12:46 pm (12:30–1:10 pm), low tide 6:11 pm (5:50–6:30 pm) and high tide 12:00 am (11:30 pm–12:20 am)
- Likely visibility: good. The sea has been calm and there's been little rain. Based on the last 24 hours of data.
- Water at 52.2 °F: a 7 mm semi-dry suit, with hood, gloves and booties.
- Snorkeling: doable, with some waves or wind.
- Night dive: dark from 6:33 pm. Waning gibbous (92%), rising at 7:18 pm: a bright night.
Your diving day at a glance
The best window, 11:30 am to 1:30 pm, combines slack water at high tide, little swell, weak current and the sun high, though with moderate wind. Also good from 5:30 pm to 6:30 pm, with slack water at low tide, little swell, light wind and weak 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.

Moon phase and position
Today the moon is 226,432 mi away and looks 32′ 47″ across.
Solunar periods
Today's activity: high- 1:43–3:43 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity
- 2:15–4:15 pm Major · the moon passes underfoot · high activity
- 10:38–11:38 am Minor · moonset · medium activity
- 6:48–7:48 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 1,000 ft. 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 1,000 ft. 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) 1,000 ft out.
