Where this tide comes from
Rawson has no tide station nearby: its tide is calculated with the global FES2022 model, from the nearest model cells offshore (the first one 4.3 mi away). It may differ from the real tide by a few minutes and inches, and more with wind or storms. Heights are above mean sea level, not chart datum, so low tides are negative. Not for navigation.
Model attribution: FES2022 Tide was produced by LEGOS, NOVELTIS and CLS, funded by CNES, and distributed by AVISO (https://doi.org/10.24400/527896/a01-2024.004), AVISO licence (https://www.aviso.altimetry.fr/fileadmin/documents/data/License_Aviso.pdf). Modified by TidePlanet: constants interpolated from the nearest model cells offshore; heights above mean sea level.
The sea at Rawson
Sea stateSea state: slight
The waves you may find
- Most commonMost common0.9 ft
- Significant1.8 ft
- Highest expectedHighest3.8 ft
One wave in seven is higher than the significant height, and about 3 times a day one reaches 3.8 ft. Before heading out, expect waves of up to 3.8 ft.
Wind on the coast and offshore
Onshore wind. The coast faces east and the wind blows straight in from the sea: more surf and backwash at the shore, and bait and boats drift toward land.
Wave height, next 7 daysWaves, next 7 days
Waves build over the next few days. The biggest waves arrive on Friday 30: 3.9 ft with a period of 5 s, from the 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 56.7 °F by Tuesday 3.
Water warmer than normal for late October (+1.4 °F).

Surf in Rawson today
Surf today
Poor- 1.1–1.7 ft surf at the shore, small: good for learning or a longboard
- 0.9 ft swell at 5 s from the east-northeast, short: weak, messy waves
- 1.3 ft wind swell at 3 s: messy waves
- Moderate cross-shore wind (12 mph): a bit of chop
- Rising tide (high tide at 8:25 am)
- Light: First light 5:38 am · sunrise 6:08 am · sunset 8:01 pm · last light 8:31 pm
- Tide: low 2:33 am (-7.7 ft), high 8:25 am (6.7 ft), low 2:49 pm (-6.7 ft) and high 8:35 pm (7.1 ft). Every break has its own tide: some work at low tide and others at high tide. The tide doesn’t change the score here.
- Water at 54.5 °F: a 5/4 fullsuit with booties (and a hood if it’s windy).
- Energy: 6 kJ · Low power
Today’s surf at a glance
The best window is 6:00 am to 10:00 am, though with small waves, a short-period swell, wind swell and cross-shore wind.
An estimate for this stretch of coast, not for a specific break: every beach or reef works its own way (its tide, bottom and angle). Check it when you get there.
Follow the flags and the lifeguards, and don’t paddle out if the surf is above your level: this score is a guide, not a substitute for what you see when you get there.

Your diving day at a glance
The best window, 2:20 pm to 3:50 pm, combines slack water at low tide, 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.

Moon phase and position
Today the moon is 226,432 mi away and looks 32′ 47″ across.
Solunar periods
Today's activity: high- 1:53–3:53 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity
- 2:25–4:25 pm Major · the moon passes underfoot · high activity
- 6:43–7:43 am Minor · moonset · medium activity
- 11:15 pm–12:15 am 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.
