↓ Falling The tide is falling. 4 h 0 min to low tide at 12:51 pm.
Tide coefficient 83 for the 6:37 am high tide and 84 for the 5:45 pm high tide. Average coefficient. The water rises and falls 3.1 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 May 20 (3.6 ft) and the lowest, on December 27 (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 came from October 1 to 3 (coefficient 85, 2.9 ft range). The smallest, from October 23 to 24 (coefficient 49, 1.5 ft).

Where this tide comes from
Tides from the Geelong station (TICON-4), 4.5 mi from Corio. Times and heights are its predictions.

The sea at Corio
Sea stateSea state: moderate
The waves you may find
- Most commonMost common3.0 ft
- Significant6.0 ft
- Highest expectedHighest12 ft
One wave in seven is higher than the significant height, and about 3 times a day one reaches 12 ft. Before heading out, expect waves of up to 12 ft.
Wind on the coast and offshore
Cross-offshore wind. The coast faces southeast 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: 6.0 ft with a period of 11 s, from the south-southwest (moderate).
Water temperature
Water temperature →The satellite measured 3.1 °F less 2 days ago than the model gives now: the water is probably colder than the forecast says.
Water temperature changes how fish behave: in very cold or very warm water they feed less. The water warms over the next few days: about 66.7 °F by Wednesday 4.
Water warmer than normal for late October (+1.9 °F).

- Night dive: dark from 8:22 pm. Waning gibbous (89%), rising at 11:53 pm: a bright night.
Your diving day at a glance
The best window, 6:30 am to 7:10 am, combines slack water at high tide, light wind and weak current, though with some swell. Also worth a look from 12:30 pm to 1:10 pm, with slack water at low 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.

The moon in Corio
Moon phase and position
Today the moon is 226,459 mi away and looks 32′ 47″ across.
Solunar periods
Today's activity: medium- 2:22–4:22 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity
- 2:54–4:54 pm Major · the moon passes underfoot · high activity
- 7:28–8:28 am Minor · moonset · medium activity
- 11:23 pm–12:23 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.
