↑ Rising The tide is rising. 11 h 31 min to high tide at 10:44 pm.
Tide coefficient 117 for the 10:44 pm high tide. Big spring tides. The water rises and falls 2.6 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 June 15 (3.8 ft) and the lowest, on November 25 (0.0 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)
Tide coefficient and range in October
The biggest tides of the month come from October 28 to 29 (coefficient 117, 2.6 ft range). The smallest, on October 23 (coefficient 20, 0.9 ft).

The sea at Geographe
Sea stateSea state: smooth
The waves you may find
- Most commonMost common0.5 ft
- Significant1.0 ft
- Highest expectedHighest1.9 ft
One wave in seven is higher than the significant height, and about 3 times a day one reaches 1.9 ft. Before heading out, expect waves of up to 1.9 ft.
Wind on the coast and offshore
Onshore wind. The coast faces north 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 build over the next few days. The biggest waves arrive on Tuesday 3: 3.8 ft with a period of 6 s, from the west-northwest (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 67.6 °F by Wednesday 4.
Water warmer than normal for late October (+1.5 °F).

Surf in Geographe today
Surf today
Poor- 0.7–1.0 ft surf at the shore, small: good for learning or a longboard
- 0.9 ft swell at 12 s from the west-southwest, average; it hits this coast at an angle
- Light offshore wind (7 mph): it holds up and grooms the waves
- Rising tide (high tide at 10:44 pm)
- Light: First light 4:56 am · sunrise 5:22 am · sunset 6:43 pm · last light 7:09 pm
- Tide: low 8:27 am (0.2 ft) and high 10:44 pm (2.9 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 65.3 °F–67.1 °F: a 3/2 fullsuit.
- Energy: 18 kJ · Low power
Today’s surf at a glance
The best window, 6:00 pm to 7:00 pm, has light offshore wind, though with small waves. 5:00 am to 9:00 am can also work, though with barely any waves.
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, 8:00 am to 11:00 am, combines slack water at low tide, little swell, light wind, weak current and the sun high. Also good from 2:30 pm to 3:10 pm, with little swell, light wind, weak current and the sun high.
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- 1:23–3:23 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity
- 1:55–3:55 pm Major · the moon passes underfoot · high activity
- 6:44–7:44 am Minor · moonset · medium activity
- 10:08–11:08 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 0.75 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 1.9 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).
