Tides in Gaspé
Today's high and low tides
- ▲ High tide 3:46 am 4.3 ft · coef. 97
- ▼ Low tide 9:19 am 1.0 ft
- ▲ High tide 3:55 pm 6.7 ft · coef. 96
- ▼ Low tide 10:47 pm 0.6 ft
↑ Rising The tide is rising. 4 h 45 min to high tide at 4:31 am.
Tide coefficient 97 for the 3:46 am high tide and 96 for the 3:55 pm high tide. Spring tides. The water rises and falls 6.2 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 (7.2 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 98, 6.2 ft range). The smallest, on October 19 (coefficient 32, 2.6 ft).

Where this tide comes from
Gaspé has no station of its own, so we use the tide at Rivière-au-Renard (TICON-4), 12 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 Gaspé
Sea stateSea state: smooth
The waves you may find
- Most commonMost common0.3 ft
- Significant0.6 ft
- Highest expectedHighest1.2 ft
One wave in seven is higher than the significant height, and about 3 times a day one reaches 1.2 ft. Before heading out, expect waves of up to 1.2 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 Saturday 31: 2.0 ft with a period of 3 s, from the northwest (slight).
Water temperature

Your diving day at a glance
The best window, 8:40 am to 10:10 am, combines slack water at low tide, small waves, light wind, weak current and the sun high. Also good from 3:20 pm to 4:30 pm, with slack water at high tide, small waves, 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 226,429 mi away and looks 32′ 47″ across.
Solunar periods
Today's activity: high- 12:51–2:51 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity
- 1:23–3:23 pm Major · the moon passes underfoot · high activity
- 10:01–11:01 am Minor · moonset · medium activity
- 5:40–6:40 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 3.1 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 3.1 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.
