↑ Rising The tide is rising. 11 h 4 min to high tide at 11:44 pm.

2026 extremes: the highest tide of the year is on June 15 (3.8 ft) and the lowest, on January 3 (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)

Where this tide comes from
Horrocks has no station of its own, so we use the tide at Geraldton (TICON-4), 29 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 Horrocks
Sea stateSea state: slight
The waves you may find
- Most commonMost common1.5 ft
- Significant2.9 ft
- Highest expectedHighest5.9 ft
One wave in seven is higher than the significant height, and about 3 times a day one reaches 5.9 ft. Before heading out, expect waves of up to 5.9 ft.
Wind on the coast and offshore
Onshore wind. The coast faces southwest 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: 6.0 ft with a period of 9 s, from the south-southwest (moderate).
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 Horrocks today
Surf today
Poor- 2.2–3.4 ft surf at the shore, a fun size for most surfers
- 2.1 ft swell at 11 s from the south-southwest, average
- Light onshore wind (11 mph): a bit of chop
- Rising tide (high tide at 11:44 pm)
- Light: First light 5:08 am · sunrise 5:33 am · sunset 6:40 pm · last light 7:04 pm
- Tide: low 7:15 am (0.3 ft) and high 11:44 pm (2.8 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 67.5 °F–69.4 °F: a springsuit or a 2 mm fullsuit.
- Energy: 92 kJ · Low power
Today’s surf at a glance
The best window, 3:00 pm to 7:00 pm, has a good size, though with onshore wind. 5:08 am to 9:00 am can also work, with a good size and light offshore wind, though with a short-period swell.
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 Horrocks today

Likely visibility: fair- 1.9 ft swell at 10 s from the south-southwest: some surge on the bottom

- Slack water today: low tide 7:15 am (7:00–8:40 am) and high tide 11:44 pm (10:20 pm–12:00 am)
- Likely visibility: fair. Swell (up to 5.4 ft at 7 s) over the last few days has stirred up the water. Based on the last 24 hours of data.
- Water at 67.5–69.4 °F: a 5 mm wetsuit.
- Snorkeling: doable, with some waves or wind.
- Night dive: dark from 7:04 pm. Waning gibbous (88%), rising at 10:26 pm: a bright night.
Your diving day at a glance
The best window, 12:50 pm to 2:50 pm, combines light wind, weak current and the sun high. Also good from 6:50 am to 9:50 am, with slack water at low tide, light wind and weak current.
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- 1:27–3:27 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity
- 1:59–3:59 pm Major · the moon passes underfoot · high activity
- 7:05–8:05 am Minor · moonset · medium activity
- 9:56–10:56 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.

- 66 ft deep1 mi
- 164 ft deepnot within 3.1 mi
For fishing, swimming and diving
- Shore fishing. Shallow, gradual bottom (16 ft at 0.45 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. 33 ft deep 0.6 mi from shore; 66 ft is far out (1 mi): for deeper dives, 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).
