Today's high and low tides

  • ▲ High tide 4:40 am 8.2 ft · coef. 92
  • ▲ High tide 4:56 pm 11.0 ft · coef. 88
  • ▼ Low tide 11:33 pm 1.3 ft

↓ Falling The tide is falling. 4 h 21 min to low tide at 10:26 am.

Tide coefficient 92 for the 4:40 am high tide and 88 for the 4:56 pm high tide. Spring tides. The water rises and falls 9.7 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 (12.0 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

Tide coefficient and range in October

The biggest tides of the month came from October 27 to 28 (coefficient 97, 10.3 ft range). The smallest, on October 19 (coefficient 30, 3.8 ft).

Sea and waves

The sea at Sainte-Anne-des-Monts

7-day waves

Waves 3.5 ft · 4.1 s from the west-southwest (248°)

The waves you may find

  • Most commonMost common1.7 ft

One wave in seven is higher than the significant height, and about 3 times a day one reaches 7.3 ft. Before heading out, expect waves of up to 7.3 ft.

Wind on the coast and offshore

On the coast 7 mph SW · gusts 11
Offshore (8.7 mi N)Offshore 20 mph WSW · gusts 25

Cross-offshore wind. The coast faces north and the wind comes off the land at an angle: calmer water near the shore, and bait and boats drift out to sea.

Today’s surf at a glance

The best window, 7:00 am to 11:00 am, has light offshore wind, 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, 9:30 am to 11:20 am, combines slack water at low tide, light wind, weak current and the sun high. Also good from 4:00 pm to 5:10 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.

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: medium
  • 2:03–4:03 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity
  • 2:36–4:36 pm Major · the moon passes underfoot · high activity
  • 11:25 am–12:25 pm 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

Very shallow

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

From the shoreline (0.35 mi from Sainte-Anne-des-Monts) out to sea, heading north.

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.
