Today's high and low tides

  • ▲ High tide 1:23 am 4.2 ft · coef. 103
  • ▼ Low tide 9:46 am 0.2 ft
  • ▼ Low tide 6:32 pm 2.3 ft

↑ Rising The tide is rising. 3 h 12 min to high tide at 3:49 pm.

Tide coefficient 103 for the 1:23 am high tide and 100 for the 3:49 pm high tide. Big spring tides. The water rises and falls 4.0 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 April 21 (5.6 ft) and the lowest, on November 26 (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 27 to 29 (coefficient 104, 4.0 ft range). The smallest, on October 20 (coefficient 28, 1.4 ft).

Tides from the Denham station (Department of Transport (Western Australia)), 0.1 mi from Denham. Times and heights are its predictions.

How we calculate the tide

Sea and waves

The sea at Denham

7-day waves

Sea stateSea state: smooth

Smooth Douglas 2 · moderate breeze, Beaufort 4
Waves 1.5 ft · 3.8 s from the west-southwest (239°)
Swell 0.7 ft · 5.3 s from the southwest
Current 1.1 mph toward the SE

The waves you may find

  • Most commonMost common0.8 ft
  • Significant1.5 ft
  • Highest expectedHighest3.1 ft

One wave in seven is higher than the significant height, and about 3 times a day one reaches 3.1 ft. Before heading out, expect waves of up to 3.1 ft.

Wind on the coast and offshore

On the coast 13 mph WSW · gusts 23
Offshore (5.5 mi SSW)Offshore 16 mph WSW · gusts 21

Cross-onshore wind. The coast faces northwest 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.

Waves stay much the same all week. The biggest waves arrive on Tuesday 3: 2.5 ft with a period of 4 s, from the south (slight).

Water temperature

Water now70.5 °F
Today 69.8–70.9 °F air: 67 / 75 °F
Satellite (2 days ago) 67.8 °F measured 0.9 mi away

The satellite measured 2.7 °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 71.8 °F by Wednesday 4.

Water about normal for late October.

Your diving day at a glance

The best window, 9:30 am to 10:20 am, combines slack water at low tide, little swell, light wind, weak current and the sun high. Also worth a look from 4:30 pm to 6:40 pm, with slack water at high tide, slack water at low tide, little swell and weak current, though with moderate wind.

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.

Solunar periods

Today's activity: medium
  • 1:31–3:31 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity
  • 2:03–4:03 pm Major · the moon passes underfoot · high activity
  • 7:15–8:15 am Minor · moonset · medium activity
  • 9:52–10:52 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.
