↑ Rising The tide is rising. 4 h 44 min to high tide at 5:22 am.
Tide coefficient 95 for the 5:22 am high tide and 91 for the 5:39 pm high tide. Spring tides. The water rises and falls 14.4 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 (18.1 ft) and the lowest, on March 21 (0.6 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 27 to 28 (coefficient 99, 16.3 ft range). The smallest, on October 19 (coefficient 30, 5.7 ft).

Where this tide comes from
Trois Pistoles has no station of its own, so we use the tide at Gros-Cacouna (TICON-4), 20 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 Trois Pistoles
Sea state
The wave model doesn't reach Trois Pistoles: it's on inland water (an estuary, sound or sheltered bay) or far from the open sea. Wind is still available right here.
Wind on the coast and offshore
Cross-shore wind. The coast faces west and the wind blows along the shore: drift and current run parallel to the beach.
Water temperature
Water temperature →Water temperature changes how fish behave: in very cold or very warm water they feed less. The water cools over the next few days: about 36.8 °F by Wednesday 4.
Water about normal for late October.

Solunar periods
Today's activity: medium- 2:14–4:14 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity
- 2:47–4:47 pm Major · the moon passes underfoot · high activity
- 11:30 am–12:30 pm Minor · moonset · medium activity
- 7:04–8:04 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 2.6 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 2.6 mi. For deeper dives, take a boat farther out.
