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)

The sea at East Carnarvon
Sea stateSea state: slight
The waves you may find
- Most commonMost common1.5 ft
- Significant3.0 ft
- Highest expectedHighest6.1 ft
One wave in seven is higher than the significant height, and about 3 times a day one reaches 6.1 ft. Before heading out, expect waves of up to 6.1 ft.
Wind on the coast and offshore
Onshore wind. The coast faces west and the wind blows straight in from the sea: more surf and backwash at the shore, and bait and boats drift toward land.
Wave height, next 7 daysWaves, next 7 days
Waves stay much the same all week. The biggest waves arrive on Monday 2: 3.8 ft with a period of 5 s, from the south-southwest (slight).
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 72.1 °F by Wednesday 4.
Water colder than normal for late October (−1.3 °F).

Surf in East Carnarvon today
Surf today
Poor- 1.9–3.0 ft surf at the shore, a fun size for most surfers
- 2.4 ft swell at 5 s from the west-southwest, short: weak, messy waves
- Light onshore wind (6 mph): a bit of chop
- First or last light of the day
- Falling tide (low tide at 6:44 am)
- Light: First light 5:16 am · sunrise 5:40 am · sunset 6:38 pm · last light 7:02 pm
- Tide: low 6:44 am (0.2 ft), high 1:22 pm (4.0 ft) and low 6:00 pm (2.7 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 69.4 °F–70.7 °F: a springsuit or a 2 mm fullsuit.
- Energy: 28 kJ · Low power
Today’s surf at a glance
The best window, 5:16 am to 9:00 am, has a good size, though with a short-period swell. 11:00 am to 3:00 pm can also work, though with a short-period swell and onshore wind.
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.

Your diving day at a glance
The best window, 6:30 am to 7:20 am, combines slack water at low tide, light wind and weak current. Also worth a look from 1:30 pm to 2:20 pm, with slack water at high tide, little swell, weak current and the sun high, though with moderate wind. Also worth a look from 5:30 pm to 6:40 pm, with 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.

Moon phase and position
Today the moon is 226,493 mi away and looks 32′ 46″ across.
Solunar periods
Today's activity: medium- 1:30–3:30 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity
- 2:02–4:02 pm Major · the moon passes underfoot · high activity
- 7:18–8:18 am Minor · moonset · medium activity
- 9:49–10:49 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.
