Tides in Trinity Park
Today's high and low tides
- ▼ Low tide 4:18 am 1.9 ft
- ▲ Next high tide 11:27 am 8.4 ft · coef. 62
- ▼ Low tide 5:45 pm 4.5 ft
- ▲ High tide 10:43 pm 5.6 ft · coef. 55
↑ Rising The tide is rising. 2 h 39 min to high tide at 11:27 am.
Tide coefficient 62 for the 11:27 am high tide and 55 for the 10:43 pm high tide. Low coefficient. The water rises and falls 6.5 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 February 1 (11.0 ft) and the lowest, on July 14 (0.3 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 7 to 9 (coefficient 104, 8.0 ft range). The smallest, on October 16 (coefficient 20, 3.2 ft).

Where this tide comes from
Trinity Park has no station of its own, so we use the tide at Cairns (TICON-4), 9.6 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 Trinity Park
Sea stateSea state: smooth
The waves you may find
- Most commonMost common0.7 ft
- Significant1.4 ft
- Highest expectedHighest3.0 ft
One wave in seven is higher than the significant height, and about 3 times a day one reaches 3.0 ft. Before heading out, expect waves of up to 3.0 ft.
Wind on the coast and offshore
Cross-onshore wind. The coast faces northeast and the wind comes in from the sea at an angle: a bit more surf at the shore and drift along the coast, toward land.
Wave height, next 7 daysWaves, next 7 days
Waves stay much the same all week. The biggest waves arrive on Friday 30: 2.2 ft with a period of 4 s, from the east (slight).
Water temperature
Water temperature →Water temperature changes how fish behave: in very cold or very warm water they feed less. The water warms over the next few days: about 83.8 °F by Wednesday 4.
Water warmer than normal for late October (+2.9 °F).

Surf in Trinity Park today
Surf today
Poor- 1.1–1.7 ft surf at the shore, small: good for learning or a longboard
- 1.5 ft swell at 4 s from the east-northeast, short: weak, messy waves
- Almost no wind (3 mph): glassy water
- First or last light of the day
- Rising tide (high tide at 10:43 pm)
- Light: First light 5:19 am · sunrise 5:41 am · sunset 6:21 pm · last light 6:43 pm
- Tide: low 4:18 am (1.9 ft), high 11:27 am (8.4 ft), low 5:45 pm (4.5 ft) and high 10:43 pm (5.6 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 82.0 °F: boardshorts or a swimsuit and a rash guard.
- Energy: 7 kJ · Low power
Today’s surf at a glance
The best window, 6:00 pm to 6:43 pm, has glassy water, though with a short-period swell. 5:19 am to 9:00 am can also work, with glassy water, though with small waves and 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 12:40 pm, combines slack water at high tide, little swell, light wind, weak current and the sun high. Also good from 4:50 pm to 6:20 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- 1:16–3:16 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity
- 1:49–3:49 pm Major · the moon passes underfoot · high activity
- 7:24–8:24 am Minor · moonset · medium activity
- 9:14–10:14 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 0.8 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. Shallow near shore: you only reach 33 ft at 1.9 mi. For dives deeper than 33 ft, 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).
