About the tides at Rustico
This is a mixed-tide station. Some days bring a deep low and a shallow low, and a few days have only one of each. Water here rises and falls only about 0.45 m on an average day. A strong onshore wind can push levels above the prediction. Over the next two weeks the biggest daily range, 0.94 m, comes tomorrow, and the smallest, 0.42 m, on October 9.
Predictions for Rustico come from this station's own tide records. There is no live sensor, so the table shows forecast only. The nearest other station is Covehead, 12 km away, where high tide comes about 33 min later. Heights are measured from chart datum, which in most Canadian tidal waters is set near the lowest normal tide. That is why lows here rarely go below zero.
