When are the next spring tides on Kangaroo Island?
From October 27 to 29, after the new or full moon, with the moon near perigee, so they will be bigger than usual. At the Cape Jervis station the coefficient will reach 97.
How many tides a day are there on Kangaroo Island?
The tide is mixed: two high and two low tides a day, but of quite different heights. Each high tide comes about 50 minutes later than the day before.
Why do some places on Kangaroo Island have no tide times?
4 of the 24 places have no tide station close enough, or in the same body of water, to give their times: the nearest one, Cape Jervis, is 55 mi away on average. And we can't rely on the global tide model on this coast, so for now we don't show their tide. The sun, moon and spring tides on their pages are accurate.
What time are sunrise and sunset today on Kangaroo Island?
In the middle of the area, the sun rises at 6:21 am and sets at 7:49 pm: 13 h 28 min of daylight. In Antechamber Bay it rises 4 minutes earlier than in Snelling Beach.
