Mixed: two high and two low tides a day, but of quite different heights.

Where this tide comes from
Burleigh Heads has no station of its own, so we use the tide at Southport (Gold Coast, TICON-4), 9.4 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 Burleigh Heads
Sea stateSea state: slight
The waves you may find
- Most commonMost common1.2 ft
- Significant2.4 ft
- Highest expectedHighest5.0 ft
One wave in seven is higher than the significant height, and about 3 times a day one reaches 5.0 ft. Before heading out, expect waves of up to 5.0 ft.
Wind on the coast and offshore
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 stay much the same all week. The biggest waves arrive on Sunday 1: 3.7 ft with a period of 5 s, from the north-northeast (slight).
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 Burleigh Heads today
Surf today
Poor- 1.4–2.1 ft surf at the shore, a fun size for most surfers
- 1.6 ft swell at 7 s from the east-northeast, short: weak, messy waves
- Light offshore wind (5 mph): it holds up and grooms the waves
- Rising tide (high tide at 10:21 am)
- Light: First light 4:33 am · sunrise 4:57 am · sunset 6:03 pm · last light 6:28 pm
- Tide: low 3:41 am (0.5 ft), high 10:21 am (5.9 ft), low 5:03 pm (0.9 ft) and high 10:33 pm (3.7 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 71.2 °F: a springsuit or a 2 mm fullsuit.
- Energy: 22 kJ · Low power
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.
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 Burleigh Heads today
Diving and snorkeling today
Likely visibility: good- Slack water around high tide (10:21 am): little current from 10:00 am to 10:40 am

- Night dive: dark from 6:28 pm. Waning gibbous (88%), rising at 9:41 pm: a bright night.
Your diving day at a glance
The best window, 9:30 am to 11:10 am, combines slack water at high tide, light wind, weak current and the sun high. Also worth a look from 4:10 pm to 5:50 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.

Moon phase and position
Today the moon is 226,469 mi away and looks 32′ 47″ across.
Solunar periods
Today's activity: medium- 12:44–2:44 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity
- 1:16–3:16 pm Major · the moon passes underfoot · high activity
- 6:23–7:23 am Minor · moonset · medium activity
- 9:11–10:11 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.

For fishing, swimming and diving
- Shore fishing. Shallow, gradual bottom (16 ft at 950 ft): 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 0.35 mi and 66 ft at 0.7 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).
