↓ Falling The tide is falling. 2 h 31 min to low tide at 5:53 pm.
Tide coefficient 88 for the 11:09 am high tide and 84 for the 11:53 pm high tide. Average coefficient. The water rises and falls 5.4 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 June 16 (6.7 ft) and the lowest, on December 25 (0.1 ft).
Mixed: two high and two low tides a day, but of quite different heights.
Heights above chart datum: the lowest astronomical tide (LAT), the zero of nautical charts in Europe. Astronomical prediction: wind and air pressure can raise or lower the water by a few inches, and more in a storm. Not for navigation. chart datum (LAT)
Tide coefficient and range in October
The biggest tides of the month came from October 26 to 28 (coefficient 95, 5.5 ft range). The smallest, from October 18 to 19 (coefficient 37, 2.8 ft).

The sea at Maroubra Beach
Sea stateSea state: moderate
The waves you may find
- Most commonMost common2.7 ft
- Significant5.4 ft
- Highest expectedHighest11 ft
One wave in seven is higher than the significant height, and about 3 times a day one reaches 11 ft. Before heading out, expect waves of up to 11 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 Thursday 29: 5.8 ft with a period of 10 s, from the south-southeast (moderate).
Water temperature
Water temperature →Water temperature changes how fish behave: in very cold or very warm water they feed less. The water is steady these days, with no sudden changes.

Surf in Maroubra Beach today
Surf today
Good- 2.9–4.4 ft surf at the shore, a good size with some punch
- 4.3 ft swell at 8 s from the south-southeast, a bit short
- Light offshore wind (6 mph): it holds up and grooms the waves
- Rising tide (high tide at 11:09 am)
- Light: First light 5:32 am · sunrise 5:58 am · sunset 7:20 pm · last light 7:46 pm
- Tide: low 4:36 am (1.1 ft), high 11:09 am (6.0 ft), low 5:53 pm (0.6 ft) and high 11:53 pm (4.1 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 65.5 °F–66.7 °F: a 3/2 fullsuit.
- Energy: 224 kJ · Medium power
Today’s surf at a glance
The best window, 7:00 am to 11:00 am, has a good size and light offshore wind. 1:00 pm to 2:00 pm also works, with a good size. 7:00 pm to 7:46 pm also works, with a good size.
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.
Diving in Maroubra Beach today
Diving and snorkeling today
Likely visibility: fair- Slack water around high tide (11:09 am): little current from 10:50 am to 11:30 am
- 4.9 ft swell at 8 s from the south-southeast: strong surge on the bottom
- Light cross-shore wind (6 mph)
- 0.6 mph current toward the west-southwest (model)
- Sun high: more light underwater
- Slack water today: low tide 4:36 am (4:10–5:00 am), high tide 11:09 am (10:50–11:30 am), low tide 5:53 pm (5:30–6:20 pm) and high tide 11:53 pm (11:20 pm–12:20 am)
- Likely visibility: fair. Swell (up to 4.9 ft at 8 s) over the last few days has stirred up the water. Based on the last 24 hours of data.
- Water at 65.5–66.7 °F: a 5 mm wetsuit.
- Snorkeling: better not, with these waves, wind or current.
- Night dive: dark from 7:46 pm. Waning gibbous (89%), rising at 11:09 pm: a bright night.
Your diving day at a glance
The best window, 9:50 am to 11:50 am, combines slack water at high tide, light wind and the sun high, though with some swell and current. Also worth a look from 5:30 am to 6:30 am, with light wind and weak current, though with tidal current, some swell and low light.
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.

The moon in Maroubra Beach
Moon phase and position
Today the moon is 226,459 mi away and looks 32′ 47″ across.
Solunar periods
Today's activity: medium- 1:53–3:53 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity
- 2:25–4:25 pm Major · the moon passes underfoot · high activity
- 7:14–8:14 am Minor · moonset · medium activity
- 10:39–11:39 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.

Water depth
Gentle slopeThe bottom slopes gently: 16 ft deep 0.5 mi from shore and 33 ft at 0.55 mi. It reaches 164 ft at 1.6 mi.

- 16 ft deep0.5 mi
- 33 ft deep0.55 mi
- 66 ft deep0.6 mi
- 164 ft deep1.6 mi
For fishing, swimming and diving
- Shore fishing. Shallow, gradual bottom (16 ft at 0.5 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. Shore diving works here: 33 ft at 0.55 mi and 66 ft at 0.6 mi from shore.
Rough estimate: here the data comes in cells of about 0.3 mi and misses details near shore (rocks, sandbars, small coves).
