About the tides at Covehead
Covehead has a mixed tide. The two daily highs, and especially the two lows, can differ a lot in height. The mean range is small, about 0.40 m, so wind and pressure can matter as much as the tide itself. The next spring tides peak on October 19, with a range of 0.74 m. Neap tides follow on October 24, when the range shrinks to 0.30 m.
This is a prediction station. CHS calculates its tides from past measurements at this spot, but there is no live gauge today. The nearest other station is Rustico, 12 km away, where high tide comes about 34 min earlier. Canadian tide heights use chart datum, a level set low on purpose. Negative heights are uncommon.
Tide predictions and water levels from the Canadian Hydrographic Service. For planning only, not for navigation. Real water levels can differ because of wind, air pressure and river flow. Always check conditions on site.
