Tides in Goode Beach
Today's high and low tides
- ▼ Low tide 9:14 am 0.5 ft
↑ Rising The tide is rising. 12 h 47 min to high tide at 12:02 am.
Tide coefficient for the day: 116. Big spring tides. The water rises and falls 2.7 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 (4.2 ft) and the lowest, on December 24 (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 29 to 30 (coefficient 116, 2.7 ft range). The smallest, on October 23 (coefficient 20, 1.4 ft).

Where this tide comes from
Tides from the Albany station (Department of Transport (Western Australia)), 4.5 mi from Goode Beach. Times and heights are its predictions.

The sea at Goode 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-onshore wind. The coast faces south 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.
Wave height, next 7 daysWaves, next 7 days
Waves build over the next few days. The biggest waves arrive on Wednesday 4: 9.1 ft with a period of 13 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 is steady these days, with no sudden changes.

Surf in Goode Beach today
Surf today
Very good- 3.4–5.3 ft surf at the shore, a good size with some punch
- 4.3 ft swell at 11 s from the southwest, average
- Light offshore wind (7 mph): it holds up and grooms the waves
- Falling tide (low tide at 9:14 am)
- Light: First light 4:43 am · sunrise 5:09 am · sunset 6:35 pm · last light 7:02 pm
- Tide: low 9:14 am (0.5 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 64.4 °F: a 3/2 fullsuit.
- Energy: 392 kJ · Medium power
Today’s surf at a glance
The best window, 5:00 am to 9:00 am, has a good size and light offshore wind. 6:00 pm to 7:00 pm also works, with a good size and glassy water.
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 Goode Beach today
Diving and snorkeling today
Likely visibility: fair- Slack water around low tide (9:14 am): little current from 8:10 am to 10:40 am
- 4.3 ft swell at 11 s from the southwest: strong surge on the bottom
- Light cross-shore wind (7 mph)
- 0.3 mph current toward the southwest, weak (model)
- Sun high: more light underwater
- Slack water today: low tide 9:14 am (8:10–10:40 am) and high tide 12:02 am (11:40 pm–12:20 am)
- Likely visibility: fair. Swell (up to 4.3 ft at 11 s) over the last few days has stirred up the water. Based on the last 24 hours of data.
- Water at 64.4 °F: a 5 mm wetsuit.
- Snorkeling: better not, with these waves, wind or current.
- Night dive: dark from 7:02 pm. Waning gibbous (88%), rising at 10:33 pm: a bright night.
Your diving day at a glance
The best window, 9:30 am to 12:30 pm, combines slack water at low tide, light wind, weak current and the sun high, though with some 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- 1:12–3:12 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity
- 1:45–3:45 pm Major · the moon passes underfoot · high activity
- 6:29–7:29 am Minor · moonset · medium activity
- 10:03–11:03 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.

Water depth
Deepens quicklyThe bottom deepens quickly: 33 ft of water 750 ft from shore. It reaches 164 ft at 0.9 mi.

How far from shore
- 16 ft deep600 ft
- 33 ft deep750 ft
- 66 ft deep0.6 mi
- 164 ft deep0.9 mi
For fishing, swimming and diving
- Shore fishing. 33 ft of water just 750 ft from shore: a good cast reaches deep water. Current and surf hit harder here.
- Swimming. The water gets deeper little by little, but a few dozen yards out you can no longer stand.
- Diving. Shore diving works here: 33 ft at 750 ft and 66 ft at 0.6 mi from shore.
Rough estimate: here the data comes in cells of about 0.3 mi and misses details near shore (rocks, sandbars, small coves). The profile is turned slightly from the coast so it does not run into an island or a headland. Where the bottom comes up to the surface there are shoals, rocks or an islet next to the profile.
