Today's high and low tides

- ▲ Next high tide 10:57 am 13.4 ft · coef. 80
- ▼ Low tide 5:24 pm 2.9 ft
- ▲ High tide 11:17 pm 9.9 ft · coef. 75
↑ Rising The tide is rising. 3 h 5 min to high tide at 10:57 am.
Tide coefficient 80 for the 10:57 am high tide and 75 for the 11:17 pm high tide. Average coefficient. The water rises and falls 11.3 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 December 25 (15.1 ft) and the lowest, on August 13 (0.9 ft).
Mixed: two high and two low tides a day, but of quite different heights.
Heights above chart datum (CD), the zero of that port's nautical charts. 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 (CD)
Tide coefficient and range in October
The biggest tides of the month came from October 8 to 10 (coefficient 99, 11.9 ft range). The smallest, on October 18 (coefficient 27, 4.2 ft).

Where this tide comes from
Foreshores has no station of its own, so we use the tide at South Trees (Maritime Safety Queensland), 20 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 Foreshores
Sea stateSea state: smooth
The waves you may find
- Most commonMost common0.3 ft
- Significant0.6 ft
- Highest expectedHighest1.2 ft
One wave in seven is higher than the significant height, and about 3 times a day one reaches 1.2 ft. Before heading out, expect waves of up to 1.2 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 Friday 30: 1.6 ft with a period of 3 s, from the east (smooth).
Water temperature
Water temperature →The satellite measured 3.8 °F less 2 days ago than the model gives now: the water is probably colder than the forecast says.
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 warmer than normal for late October (+2.4 °F).

Your diving day at a glance
The best window, 10:00 am to 11:40 am, combines slack water at high tide, little swell, light wind, weak current and the sun high. Also good from 4:40 pm to 6:00 pm, with slack water at low tide, little swell, light wind and weak 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- 12:52–2:52 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity
- 1:24–3:24 pm Major · the moon passes underfoot · high activity
- 6:42–7:42 am Minor · moonset · medium activity
- 9:08–10:08 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.
