↓ Falling The tide is falling. 1 h 16 min to low tide at 3:09 am.
Tide coefficient 81 for the 10:39 am high tide and 79 for the 9:43 pm high tide. Average coefficient. The water rises and falls 3.1 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 October 28 (3.1 ft) and the lowest, on January 2 (-0.7 ft).
Mixed: two high and two low tides a day, but of quite different heights.
Heights above mean lower low water (MLLW), the zero of US nautical 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. MLLW
Tide coefficient and range in October
The biggest tides of the month came from October 26 to 28 (coefficient 86, 3.2 ft range). The smallest, from October 17 to 19 (coefficient 44, 1.9 ft).

Where this tide comes from
Fort Liberté has no station of its own, so we use the tide at Massacre (NOAA), 5.8 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. It is a NOAA subordinate station: its times and heights come from the San Juan reference station with the official corrections.

The sea at Fort Liberté
Sea state
The wave model doesn't reach Fort Liberté: 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
Offshore wind. The coast faces north and the wind blows from land out to sea: calm shore and clean waves, but watch the drift out to sea.
Water temperature
Water temperature →Water temperature changes how fish behave: in very cold or very warm water they feed less. The water is steady these days, with no sudden changes.

Today the moon is 226,746 mi away and looks 32′ 44″ across.
Solunar periods
Today's activity: medium- 2:25–4:25 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity
- 2:58–4:58 pm Major · the moon passes underfoot · high activity
- 9:56–10:56 am Minor · moonset · medium activity
- 9:00–10:00 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.
