Tide coefficient 98 for the 3:32 am high tide and 96 for the 3:46 pm high tide. Spring tides. The water rises and falls 10.2 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 June 16 (11.7 ft) and the lowest, on April 19 (0.3 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

Where this tide comes from

B · Nearby station

Maliotenam has no station of its own, so we use the tide at Sept-Îles (TICON-4), 8.9 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.

Cross-shore wind. The coast faces south and the wind blows along the shore: drift and current run parallel to the beach.

Today’s surf at a glance

The best window, 4:00 pm to 5:42 pm, has a good size, though with a short-period swell and wind swell. 11:00 am to 3:00 pm can also work, though with a short-period swell and wind swell.

An estimate for this stretch of coast, not for a specific break: every beach or reef works its own way (its tide, bottom and angle). Check it when you get there.

Follow the flags and the lifeguards, and don’t paddle out if the surf is above your level: this score is a guide, not a substitute for what you see when you get there.

Your diving day at a glance

The best window, 8:40 am to 10:10 am, combines slack water at low tide, little swell, light wind, weak current and the sun high. Also good from 3:20 pm to 4:10 pm, with slack water at high tide, 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.

Solunar periods

Today's activity: high
  • 12:58–2:58 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity
  • 1:30–3:30 pm Major · the moon passes underfoot · high activity
  • 10:17–11:17 am Minor · moonset · medium activity
  • 5:38–6:38 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 shallow

Very shallow and flat: even 3.1 mi from shore the water is less than 16 ft deep.

From the shoreline (0.9 mi from Maliotenam) out to sea, heading south.

How far from shore

  • 16 ft deepnot within 3.1 mi
  • 33 ft deepnot within 3.1 mi
  • 66 ft deepnot within 3.1 mi
  • 164 ft deepnot within 3.1 mi

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.
