Today's high and low tides

- ▼ Low tide 12:25 pm 3.3 ft
- ▲ High tide 6:20 pm 19.7 ft · coef. 83
↑ Rising The tide is rising. 5 h 39 min to high tide at 6:04 am.
Tide coefficient 87 for the 6:04 am high tide and 83 for the 6:20 pm high tide. Average coefficient. The water rises and falls 18.1 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 (21.9 ft) and the lowest, on April 19 (0.7 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 26 to 28 (coefficient 92, 18.8 ft range). The smallest, on October 19 (coefficient 32, 7.5 ft).

Where this tide comes from
Kamouraska has no station of its own, so we use the tide at Pointe-au-Pic (TICON-4), 13 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 waves you may find
- Most commonMost common0.7 ft
- Significant1.4 ft
- Highest expectedHighest3.1 ft
One wave in seven is higher than the significant height, and about 3 times a day one reaches 3.1 ft. Before heading out, expect waves of up to 3.1 ft.
Wind on the coast and offshore
Cross-shore wind. The coast faces northwest and the wind blows along the shore: drift and current run parallel to the beach.

Waves stay much the same all week. The biggest waves arrive on Thursday 29: 2.4 ft with a period of 3 s, from the south-southwest (slight).

Your diving day at a glance
The best window, 7:20 am to 9:30 am, combines little swell, light wind and weak current, though with tidal current. Also worth a look from 11:50 am to 12:50 pm, with slack water at low tide, little swell, weak current and the sun high, though with fresh wind.
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 Kamouraska
Moon phase and position
Today the moon is 226,746 mi away and looks 32′ 44″ across.
Solunar periods
Today's activity: medium- 2:17–4:17 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity
- 2:50–4:50 pm Major · the moon passes underfoot · high activity
- 11:29 am–12:29 pm Minor · moonset · medium activity
- 7:10–8:10 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
Very shallowVery shallow and flat: even 0.95 mi from shore the water is less than 16 ft deep.
From the shoreline (800 ft from Kamouraska) out to sea, heading northwest.

- 164 ft deepnot within 0.95 mi
For fishing, swimming and diving
- Shore fishing. Very shallow: the water doesn't reach 16 ft within 0.95 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 0.95 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) 0.95 mi out.
