  • ▲ High tide 11:33 pm 3.7 ft · coef. 79

↑ Rising The tide is rising. 2 h 21 min to high tide at 11:21 am.

Tide coefficient 84 for the 11:21 am high tide and 79 for the 11:33 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 (6.8 ft) and the lowest, on November 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 25 to 27 (coefficient 95, 5.6 ft range). The smallest, from October 18 to 19 (coefficient 36, 2.7 ft).

Where this tide comes from

B · Nearby station

Tweed Heads South has no station of its own, so we use the tide at Southport (Gold Coast, TICON-4), 17 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.

How we calculate the tide

Sea and waves

The sea at Tweed Heads South

7-day waves

Sea stateSea state: slight

Slight Douglas 3 · moderate breeze, Beaufort 4
Waves 2.8 ft · 7.1 s from the southeast (140°)
Swell 2.3 ft · 6.0 s from the south-southeast
Current 0.2 mph toward the ESE

The waves you may find

  • Most commonMost common1.4 ft
  • Significant2.8 ft
  • Highest expectedHighest5.7 ft

One wave in seven is higher than the significant height, and about 3 times a day one reaches 5.7 ft. Before heading out, expect waves of up to 5.7 ft.

Wind on the coast and offshore

On the coast 5 mph SSW · gusts 14
Offshore (13 mi ESE)Offshore 13 mph SSW · gusts 18

Cross-offshore wind. The coast faces east 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 build over the next few days. The biggest waves arrive on Friday 30: 4.5 ft with a period of 10 s, from the south-southeast (moderate).

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.

Water colder than normal for late October (−2.3 °F).

Today’s surf at a glance

The best window, 6:00 am to 10:00 am, has light offshore wind, though with a short-period swell. 3:00 pm to 7:00 pm can also work, 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, 10:30 am to 12:10 pm, combines slack water at high tide, light wind, weak current and the sun high. Also worth a look from 5:20 pm to 6:50 pm, with slack water at low tide and light wind, though with current.

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.

Solunar periods

Today's activity: medium
  • 1:44–3:44 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity
  • 2:16–4:16 pm Major · the moon passes underfoot · high activity
  • 7:22–8:22 am Minor · moonset · medium activity
  • 10:11–11:11 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 550 ft from shore and 33 ft at 0.3 mi. Right off the beach it already drops to about 13 ft.

From the shoreline (1.4 mi from Tweed Heads South) out to sea, heading east.

How far from shore

  • 16 ft deep550 ft
  • 33 ft deep0.3 mi
  • 66 ft deep0.8 mi
  • 164 ft deepnot within 3.1 mi

For fishing, swimming and diving

  • Shore fishing. About 13 ft of water 330 ft out: long casts help, and so does a rising tide, which brings fish closer in.
  • Swimming. The bottom drops quickly near the shore and you are soon out of your depth. Keep an eye on kids and weak swimmers.
  • Diving. Shore diving works here: 33 ft at 0.3 mi and 66 ft at 0.8 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).
