The best window, 5:10 pm to 7:10 pm, combines the 6:13 pm low tide, sunset, a light onshore breeze and some swell, though with rising pressure. Also worth a try from 11:30 am to 12:30 pm, with the 11:33 am high tide, a light onshore breeze and some swell, though with rising pressure. Also worth a try from 3:50 am to 5:50 am, with the 4:50 am low tide, sunrise and some swell, though with rising pressure.

↑ Rising The tide is rising. 2 h 35 min to high tide at 11:33 am.

Tide coefficient 85 for the 11:33 am high tide and 81 for the 11:59 pm high tide. Average coefficient. The water rises and falls 4.5 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 (5.8 ft) and the lowest, on December 25 (0.2 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 94, 4.6 ft range). The smallest, from October 18 to 19 (coefficient 38, 2.5 ft).

Sea and waves

Waves 3.3 ft · 7.9 s from the south-southeast (156°)

The waves you may find

One wave in seven is higher than the significant height, and about 3 times a day one reaches 6.7 ft. Before heading out, expect waves of up to 6.7 ft.

Today’s surf at a glance

The best window, 3:00 pm to 7:00 pm, has a good size. 5:29 am to 9:00 am can also work, with a good size and glassy water, though with a short-period swell.

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, 10:40 am to 12:20 pm, combines slack water at high tide, 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.

Solunar periods

Today's activity: medium
  • 1:46–3:46 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity

  • 7:15–8:15 am Minor · moonset · medium activity
  • 10:24–11:24 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 slope

The bottom slopes gently: 16 ft deep 0.25 mi from shore and 33 ft at 0.55 mi.

From the shoreline (0.9 mi from Port Macquarie) out to sea, heading east.

How far from shore

  • 16 ft deep0.25 mi
  • 33 ft deep0.55 mi
  • 66 ft deep1.2 mi
  • 164 ft deepnot within 3.1 mi

For fishing, swimming and diving

  • Shore fishing. Shallow, gradual bottom (16 ft at 0.25 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. 33 ft deep 0.55 mi from shore; 66 ft is far out (1.2 mi): for deeper dives, go by boat.

Rough estimate: here the data comes in cells of about 0.3 mi and misses details near shore (rocks, sandbars, small coves).
