Semidiurnal: two high and two low tides a day, of similar height.
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)

Where this tide comes from
Preservation Bay has no station of its own, so we use the tide at Burnie (TICON-4), 7.8 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 Preservation Bay
Sea stateSea state: slight
The waves you may find
- Most commonMost common1.0 ft
- Significant2.0 ft
- Highest expectedHighest4.2 ft
One wave in seven is higher than the significant height, and about 3 times a day one reaches 4.2 ft. Before heading out, expect waves of up to 4.2 ft.
Wind on the coast and offshore
Offshore wind. The coast faces north and the wind blows from land out to sea: calm shore and clean waves, but watch the drift out to sea.
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 5 s, from the north-northwest (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 Preservation Bay today
Surf today
Poor- 1.1–1.7 ft surf at the shore, small: good for learning or a longboard
- 1.2 ft swell at 4 s from the northwest, short: weak, messy waves
- 1.9 ft wind swell at 3 s: messy waves
- Light offshore wind (12 mph): it holds up and grooms the waves
- Falling tide (low tide at 9:13 pm)
- Light: First light 5:38 am · sunrise 6:07 am · sunset 7:53 pm · last light 8:22 pm
- Tide: high 2:36 am (11.0 ft), low 8:53 am (2.9 ft), high 2:33 pm (10.9 ft) and low 9:13 pm (0.7 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 57.2 °F: a 4/3 fullsuit (booties if you run cold).
- Energy: 11 kJ · Low power
Today’s surf at a glance
The best window, 4:00 pm to 8:00 pm, has light offshore wind, though with small waves, a short-period swell and wind 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 Preservation Bay today
Diving and snorkeling today

- Night dive: dark from 8:22 pm. Waning gibbous (89%), rising at 11:59 pm: a bright night.
Your diving day at a glance
The best window, 1:20 pm to 3:40 pm, combines slack water at high tide, little swell, light wind, weak current and the sun high. Also good from 8:00 am to 9:40 am, 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.
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- 2:15–4:15 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity
- 2:47–4:47 pm Major · the moon passes underfoot · high activity
- 7:09–8:09 am Minor · moonset · medium activity
- 11:29 pm–12:29 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 (1.1 mi): for deeper dives, go by boat.
