- ▲ Next high tide 10:59 am 2.2 ft · coef. 84
- ▼ Low tide 6:04 pm -2.2 ft
↑ Rising The tide is rising. 10 min to high tide at 10:59 am.
Tide coefficient 84 for the 10:59 am high tide. Average coefficient. The water rises and falls 4.5 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 December 25 (2.7 ft) and the lowest, on December 25 (-2.7 ft).
Mixed: two high and two low tides a day, but of quite different heights.
Heights above mean sea level. Astronomical prediction: wind and air pressure can raise or lower the water by a few inches, and more in a storm. Not for navigation. mean sea level
Tide coefficient and range in October
The biggest tides of the month came from October 26 to 28 (coefficient 87, 4.4 ft range). The smallest, from October 17 to 19 (coefficient 44, 2.6 ft).

Where this tide comes from
Akaroa has no tide station nearby: its tide is calculated with the global FES2022 model, from the nearest model cells offshore (the first one 1.6 mi away). It may differ from the real tide by a few minutes and inches, and more with wind or storms. Heights are above mean sea level, not chart datum, so low tides are negative. Not for navigation.
Model attribution: FES2022 Tide was produced by LEGOS, NOVELTIS and CLS, funded by CNES, and distributed by AVISO (https://doi.org/10.24400/527896/a01-2024.004), AVISO licence (https://www.aviso.altimetry.fr/fileadmin/documents/data/License_Aviso.pdf). Modified by TidePlanet: constants interpolated from the nearest model cells offshore; heights above mean sea level.
The sea at Akaroa
Sea stateSea state: slight
The waves you may find
- Most commonMost common1.4 ft
- Significant2.8 ft
- Highest expectedHighest5.5 ft
One wave in seven is higher than the significant height, and about 3 times a day one reaches 5.5 ft. Before heading out, expect waves of up to 5.5 ft.
Wind on the coast and offshore
Cross-onshore wind. The coast faces east 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 build over the next few days. The biggest waves arrive on Saturday 31: 4.8 ft with a period of 7 s, from the north-northeast (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 Akaroa today
Surf today
Fair- 1.6–2.5 ft surf at the shore, a fun size for most surfers
- 2.1 ft swell at 9 s from the south-southeast, a bit short
- Light offshore wind (10 mph): it holds up and grooms the waves
- Falling tide (low tide at 6:04 pm)
- Light: First light 5:28 am · sunrise 5:58 am · sunset 7:44 pm · last light 8:13 pm
- Tide: low 4:40 am (-0.8 ft), high 10:59 am (2.2 ft) and low 6:04 pm (-2.2 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 60.1 °F–61.2 °F: a 4/3 fullsuit.
- Energy: 67 kJ · Low power
Today’s surf at a glance
The best window, 1:00 pm to 5:00 pm, has light offshore wind.
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 Akaroa today
Diving and snorkeling today
Likely visibility: good- Slack water around high tide (10:59 am): little current from 10:40 am to 11:20 am
- 2.4 ft swell at 6 s from the south-southeast: some surge on the bottom
- Light onshore wind (7 mph)
- 0.4 mph current toward the northwest, weak (model)
- Sun high: more light underwater
- Slack water today: low tide 4:40 am (4:10–5:10 am), high tide 10:59 am (10:40–11:20 am) and low tide 6:04 pm (5:40–6:30 pm)
- Likely visibility: good. Swell (up to 2.5 ft at 5 s) over the last few days has stirred up the water. Based on the last 24 hours of data.
- Water at 60.1–61.2 °F: a 7 mm wetsuit, with hood and booties.
- Snorkeling: doable, with some waves or wind.
- Night dive: dark from 8:13 pm. Waning gibbous (89%), rising at 11:50 pm: a bright night.
Your diving day at a glance
The best window, 10:00 am to 11:50 am, combines slack water at high tide, light wind, weak current and the sun high. Also worth a look from 5:40 pm to 6:30 pm, with slack water at low tide and weak current, though with moderate wind.
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 226,459 mi away and looks 32′ 47″ across.
Solunar periods
Today's activity: medium- 2:05–4:05 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity
- 2:38–4:38 pm Major · the moon passes underfoot · high activity
- 6:59–7:59 am Minor · moonset · medium activity
- 11:20 pm–12:20 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 0.5 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. 33 ft deep 0.55 mi from shore; 66 ft is far out (1 mi): for deeper dives, 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).
