↑ Rising The tide is rising. 1 h 51 min to high tide at 10:43 am.
Tide coefficient 85 for the 12:24 am high tide and 86 for the 10:43 am high tide. Average coefficient. The water rises and falls 4.3 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 July 13 (5.5 ft) and the lowest, on December 25 (0.1 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 come from October 30 to 31 (coefficient 90, 4.4 ft range). The smallest, from October 16 to 18 (coefficient 49, 2.9 ft).

Where this tide comes from
Dromedary has no station of its own, so we use the tide at Hobart (TICON-4), 13 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.

Your diving day at a glance
The best window, 6:30 pm to 7:10 pm, combines slack water at low tide, small waves and light wind. Also worth a look from 10:00 am to 11:20 am, with slack water at high tide and the sun high, though with moderate wind. Also worth a look from 6:00 am to 6:40 am, with light wind, though with tidal 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 226,459 mi away and looks 32′ 47″ across.
Solunar periods
Today's activity: high- 2:10–4:10 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity
- 2:42–4:42 pm Major · the moon passes underfoot · high activity
- 6:58–7:58 am Minor · moonset · medium activity
- 11:31 pm–12:31 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.
