Tides in Brunswick
Today's high and low tides

- ▲ High tide 10:45 am 9.5 ft · coef. 90

- ▲ High tide 11:07 pm 7.9 ft · coef. 88
↓ Falling The tide is falling. 25 min to low tide at 5:17 pm.
Tide coefficient 90 for the 10:45 am high tide and 88 for the 11:07 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 November 25 (9.6 ft) and the lowest, on December 25 (-1.1 ft).
Semidiurnal: two high and two low tides a day, of similar height.
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 90, 9.7 ft range). The smallest, from October 18 to 19 (coefficient 45, 4.9 ft).

The sea at Brunswick
Sea stateSea state: slight
The waves you may find
- Most commonMost common1.4 ft
- Significant2.8 ft
- Highest expectedHighest5.8 ft
One wave in seven is higher than the significant height, and about 3 times a day one reaches 5.8 ft. Before heading out, expect waves of up to 5.8 ft.
Wind on the coast and offshore
Cross-onshore wind. The coast faces east and the wind comes in from the sea at an angle: a bit more surf at the shore and drift along the coast, toward land.
Wave height, next 7 daysWaves, next 7 days
Waves stay much the same all week. The biggest waves arrive on Wednesday 28: 2.8 ft with a period of 6 s, from the east-northeast (slight).
Water temperature
Water temperature →Water temperature changes how fish behave: in very cold or very warm water they feed less. The water warms over the next few days: about 71.5 °F by Tuesday 3.
Water colder than normal for late October (−3.4 °F).

Your diving day at a glance
The best window, 10:00 am to 11:30 am, combines slack water at high tide, light wind, weak current and the sun high. Also worth a look from 4:40 pm to 5:50 pm, with slack water at low tide and weak current, though with moderate wind.
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.

Moon phase and position
Today the moon is 226,429 mi away and looks 32′ 47″ across.
Solunar periods
Today's activity: medium- 2:02–4:02 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity

- 10:00–11:00 am Minor · moonset · medium activity
- 8:05–9:05 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.

- 66 ft deepnot within 2.1 mi
- 164 ft deepnot within 2.1 mi
For fishing, swimming and diving
- Shore fishing. Shallow, gradual bottom (16 ft at 0.65 mi): cast far from the beach and fish the high tide, when there is more water close in.
- 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 2.1 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. There is land ahead (an island, a headland or the far shore) 2.1 mi out. The profile is turned slightly from the coast so it does not run into an island or a headland. Where the bottom comes up to the surface there are shoals, rocks or an islet next to the profile.
