↓ Falling The tide is falling. 3 h 28 min to low tide at 10:22 am.
Tide coefficient 115 for the 11:52 pm high tide. Big spring tides. The water rises and falls 2.9 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 (4.6 ft) and the lowest, on January 2 (0.1 ft).
Mixed, mainly diurnal: on many days there is only one high and one low tide.
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
Boranup Beach has no station of its own, so we use the tide at Augusta - Flinders Bay (Department of Transport (Western Australia)), 14 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 Boranup Beach
Sea stateSea state: moderate
The waves you may find
- Most commonMost common2.8 ft
- Significant5.6 ft
- Highest expectedHighest11 ft
One wave in seven is higher than the significant height, and about 3 times a day one reaches 11 ft. Before heading out, expect waves of up to 11 ft.
Wind on the coast and offshore
Cross-offshore wind. The coast faces west 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 build over the next few days. The biggest waves arrive on Sunday 1: 11 ft with a period of 11 s, from the southwest (rough).
Water temperature
Water temperature →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 65.9 °F by Wednesday 4.
Water about normal for late October.

- Energy: 579 kJ · High power
Today’s surf at a glance
The best window, 5:00 am to 9:00 am, has a good size and glassy water. 11:00 am to 1:00 pm also works, with a good size.
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 Boranup Beach today
Diving and snorkeling today

- Slack water today: low tide 10:22 am (9:40–10:50 am) and high tide 11:52 pm (11:00 pm–12:30 am)
- Likely visibility: poor. Swell (up to 5.4 ft at 10 s) over the last few days has stirred up the water. Based on the last 24 hours of data.
- Water at 64.4–65.7 °F: a 5 mm wetsuit.
- Snorkeling: better not, with these waves, wind or current.
- Night dive: dark from 7:12 pm. Waning gibbous (88%), rising at 10:42 pm: a bright night.
Your diving day at a glance
The best window, 9:30 am to 11:40 am, combines 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.

Moon phase and position
Today the moon is 226,493 mi away and looks 32′ 46″ across.
Solunar periods
Today's activity: medium- 1:25–3:25 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity
- 1:57–3:57 pm Major · the moon passes underfoot · high activity
- 6:44–7:44 am Minor · moonset · medium activity
- 10:12–11:12 pm 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 1.1 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. Shallow near shore: you only reach 33 ft at 2 mi. For dives deeper than 33 ft, 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).
