↑ Rising The tide is rising. 2 h 10 min to high tide at 11:07 am.
Tide coefficient 88 for the 11:07 am high tide and 84 for the 11:51 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)

Where this tide comes from
Parramatta has no station of its own, so we use the tide at Sydney (Fort Denison, UHSLC, TICON-4), 13 mi away. On the open coast the difference is usually a few minutes and inches; inside estuaries, rivers and enclosed bays it can be much larger.

The sea at Parramatta
Sea stateSea state: slight
The waves you may find
- Most commonMost common1.8 ft
- Significant3.5 ft
- Highest expectedHighest7.1 ft
One wave in seven is higher than the significant height, and about 3 times a day one reaches 7.1 ft. Before heading out, expect waves of up to 7.1 ft.
Wind on the coast and offshore
Cross-offshore wind. The coast faces north and the wind comes off the land at an angle: calmer water near the shore, and bait and boats drift out to sea.
Wave height, next 7 daysWaves, next 7 days
Waves stay much the same all week. The biggest waves arrive on Saturday 31: 4.7 ft with a period of 6 s, from the east-northeast (moderate).

Your diving day at a glance
The best window, 10:10 am to 12:00 pm, combines slack water at high tide, light wind and the sun high. Also worth a look from 5:00 pm to 6:40 pm, with slack water at low tide and light wind, though with waves.
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 226,459 mi away and looks 32′ 47″ across.
Solunar periods
Today's activity: medium- 1:54–3:54 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity
- 2:26–4:26 pm Major · the moon passes underfoot · high activity
- 7:16–8:16 am Minor · moonset · medium activity
- 10:40–11:40 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.
