↓ Falling The tide is falling. 3 h 14 min to low tide at 11:38 am.
Tide coefficient 99 for the 3:00 am high tide and 94 for the 2:35 pm high tide. Spring tides. The water rises and falls 4.1 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 (5.0 ft) and the lowest, on October 30 (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 12 to 14 (coefficient 114, 3.8 ft range). The smallest, on October 20 (coefficient 22, 1.4 ft).

Where this tide comes from
Goolwa has no station of its own, so we use the tide at Victor Harbor (TICON-4), 9.3 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 Goolwa
Sea stateSea state: moderate
The waves you may find
- Most commonMost common2.3 ft
- Significant4.5 ft
- Highest expectedHighest9.0 ft
One wave in seven is higher than the significant height, and about 3 times a day one reaches 9.0 ft. Before heading out, expect waves of up to 9.0 ft.
Wind on the coast and offshore
Cross-offshore wind. The coast faces south 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 Thursday 29: 5.3 ft with a period of 12 s, from the south-southwest (moderate).
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 Goolwa today
Surf today
Good- 3.9–5.9 ft surf at the shore, a good size with some punch
- 4.4 ft swell at 9 s from the south-southwest, a bit short
- Light offshore wind (5 mph): it holds up and grooms the waves
- Falling tide (low tide at 11:38 am)
- Light: First light 5:49 am · sunrise 6:15 am · sunset 7:42 pm · last light 8:09 pm
- Tide: high 3:00 am (4.4 ft), low 11:38 am (1.6 ft), high 2:35 pm (1.9 ft) and low 7:01 pm (0.3 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 62.6 °F–63.7 °F: a 3/2 fullsuit.
- Energy: 305 kJ · Medium power
Today’s surf at a glance
The best window, 8:00 am to 12:00 pm, has a good size and light offshore wind. 6:00 am to 7:00 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.
Diving in Goolwa today
Diving and snorkeling today
Likely visibility: fair- 4.4 ft swell at 9 s from the south-southwest: strong surge on the bottom
- Light offshore wind (5 mph)
- 0.1 mph current toward the south, weak (model)
- Daylight
- Slack water today: high tide 3:00 am (2:45–3:15 am), low tide 11:38 am (10:50 am–12:10 pm), high tide 2:35 pm (2:20–2:50 pm) and low tide 7:01 pm (6:46–7:16 pm)
- Likely visibility: fair. Swell (up to 4.9 ft at 10 s) over the last few days has stirred up the water. Based on the last 24 hours of data.
- Water at 62.6–63.7 °F: a 7 mm wetsuit, with hood and booties.
- Snorkeling: better not, with these waves, wind or current.
- Night dive: dark from 8:09 pm. Waning gibbous (89%), rising at 11:37 pm: a bright night.
Your diving day at a glance
The best window, 7:50 am to 9:30 am, combines light wind and weak current, though with some swell. Also worth a look from 2:10 pm to 3:00 pm, with slack water at high tide, light wind, weak current and the sun high, though with a big swell.
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.

Moon phase and position
Today the moon is 226,463 mi away and looks 32′ 47″ across.
Solunar periods
Today's activity: medium- 2:15–4:15 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity
- 2:48–4:48 pm Major · the moon passes underfoot · high activity
- 7:31–8:31 am Minor · moonset · medium activity
- 11:07 pm–12:07 am 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 0.4 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 0.75 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).
