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
Roaring Beach has no station of its own, so we use the tide at Hobart (TICON-4), 22 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 Roaring Beach
Sea stateSea state: rough
The waves you may find
- Most commonMost common4.4 ft
- Significant8.8 ft
- Highest expectedHighest17 ft
One wave in seven is higher than the significant height, and about 3 times a day one reaches 17 ft. Before heading out, expect waves of up to 17 ft.
Wind on the coast and offshore
The model doesn't separate offshore wind here: it's the same as on the coast.
Cross-onshore wind. The coast faces south 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 ease over the next few days. The biggest waves arrive on Thursday 29: 9.4 ft with a period of 11 s, from the south-southwest (rough).
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.

Diving in Roaring Beach today
Diving and snorkeling today
Likely visibility: poor- Slack water around low tide (6:31 pm): little current from 6:10 pm to 6:50 pm
- 7.6 ft swell at 10 s from the south-southwest: heavy surge on the bottom
- Moderate onshore wind (14 mph)
- 0.3 mph current toward the northeast, weak (model)
- Daylight
Not a day for shore diving: swell, wind, current or storms during the best window. If you go, go with a dive shop and only if they give the OK.
- Slack water today: high tide 12:24 am (12:00–1:00 am), low tide 4:13 am (3:00–5:20 am), high tide 10:43 am (10:20–11:00 am) and low tide 6:31 pm (6:10–6:50 pm)
- Likely visibility: poor. Swell (up to 9.3 ft at 10 s) over the last few days has stirred up the water. Based on the last 24 hours of data.
- Water at 56.8 °F: a 7 mm semi-dry suit, with hood, gloves and booties.
- Snorkeling: better not, with these waves, wind or current.
- Night dive: dark from 8:20 pm. Waning gibbous (89%): a bright night.
Your diving day at a glance
The best window, 6:00 pm to 7:00 pm, combines slack water at low tide and weak current, though with a big swell and moderate wind. Also worth a look from 9:50 am to 11:10 am, with slack water at high tide and the sun high, though with a big swell, moderate wind and 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.

The moon in Roaring Beach
Moon phase and position
Today the moon is 226,459 mi away and looks 32′ 47″ across.
Solunar periods
Today's activity: high- 2:08–4:08 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity
- 2:40–4:40 pm Major · the moon passes underfoot · high activity
- 6:54–7:54 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.
