↑ Rising The tide is rising. 10 h 15 min to high tide at 10:56 pm.
Tide coefficient 117 for the 10:56 pm high tide. Big spring tides. The water rises and falls 2.5 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 16 (3.5 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 on October 29 (coefficient 117, 2.5 ft range). The smallest, on October 23 (coefficient 20, 0.8 ft).

Where this tide comes from
Green Head has no station of its own, so we use the tide at Jurien Bay (Department of Transport (Western Australia)), 16 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 Green Head
Sea stateSea state: moderate
The waves you may find
- Most commonMost common2.2 ft
- Significant4.5 ft
- Highest expectedHighest8.8 ft
One wave in seven is higher than the significant height, and about 3 times a day one reaches 8.8 ft. Before heading out, expect waves of up to 8.8 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 build over the next few days. The biggest waves arrive on Wednesday 4: 10.0 ft with a period of 12 s, from the south-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 68.8 °F by Wednesday 4.

Surf in Green Head today
Surf today
Very good- 3.2–5.0 ft surf at the shore, a good size with some punch
- 3.7 ft swell at 11 s from the southwest, average
- Almost no wind (3 mph): glassy water
- Falling tide (low tide at 8:33 am)
- Light: First light 5:03 am · sunrise 5:28 am · sunset 6:40 pm · last light 7:05 pm
- Tide: low 8:33 am (0.2 ft) and high 10:56 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 67.1 °F–68.5 °F: a springsuit or a 2 mm fullsuit.
- Energy: 292 kJ · Medium power
Today’s surf at a glance
The best window, 5:03 am to 9:00 am, has a good size and glassy water. 11:00 am to 12:00 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.

- Likely visibility: fair. Swell (up to 6.3 ft at 7 s) over the last few days has stirred up the water. Based on the last 24 hours of data.
- Water at 67.1–68.5 °F: a 5 mm wetsuit.
- Snorkeling: better not, with these waves, wind or current.
- Night dive: dark from 7:05 pm. Waning gibbous (88%), rising at 10:28 pm: a bright night.
Your diving day at a glance
The best window, 7:10 am to 9:40 am, combines slack water at low tide, light wind and weak current, though with some swell. Also worth a look from 1:50 pm to 2:30 pm, with light wind, weak current and the sun high, though with tidal current and 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.

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
- 6:57–7:57 am Minor · moonset · medium activity
- 9:58–10:58 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 1.8 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: the water doesn't reach 33 ft within 3.1 mi. For deeper dives, take a boat farther out.
Rough estimate: here the data comes in cells of about 0.3 mi and misses details near shore (rocks, sandbars, small coves). Where the bottom comes up to the surface there are shoals, rocks or an islet next to the profile.
