Your day at a glance

The best window, 7:10 am to 8:10 am, combines the 7:14 am low tide, sunrise and some swell, though with rising pressure. Also worth a try from 10:30 am to 11:30 am, with the 10:30 am high tide, moonset, a light onshore breeze and some swell, though with rising pressure.

Species with the most records nearby: European plaice, whiting, European flounder and common sole. October is one of the months when these are seen most: thornback ray and small-spotted catshark. What you can catch

Where this tide comes from

Sea and waves

The sea at La Rivière-Saint-Sauveur

7-day waves

Sea stateSea state: smooth

Smooth Douglas 2 · light breeze, Beaufort 2
Waves 1.1 ft · 4.7 s from the west-northwest (301°)
Swell 1.0 ft · 3.7 s from the west-northwest
Current 1.1 mph toward the NE

The waves you may find

  • Most commonMost common0.6 ft
  • Significant1.1 ft
  • Highest expectedHighest2.3 ft

One wave in seven is higher than the significant height, and about 3 times a day one reaches 2.3 ft. Before heading out, expect waves of up to 2.3 ft.

Wind on the coast and offshore

On the coast 6 mph S · gusts 7

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

Water now57.0 °F
Today 56.8–57.0 °F air: 46 / 59 °F
Satellite (yesterday) 61.2 °F measured 1.5 mi away

The satellite measured 4.1 °F more yesterday than the model gives now: the water is probably warmer than the forecast says.

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 55.7 °F by Tuesday 3.

Water colder than normal for late October (−1.1 °F).

Your diving day at a glance

The best window, 11:30 am to 1:30 pm, combines little swell, light wind, weak current and the sun high.

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: high
  • 1:21–3:21 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity
  • 1:52–3:52 pm Major · the moon passes underfoot · high activity
  • 10:31–11:31 am Minor · moonset · medium activity
  • 6:08–7:08 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 (1.4 mi from La Rivière-Saint-Sauveur) out to sea, heading west.

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.

Inside bays, estuaries and harbors the bottom changes a lot from spot to spot (channels and shoals): use this only as a rough guide.
