Today, hour by hour

  • Swimming Use care · 3.9 ft

    3.9 ft waves every 12 s: swim with care and stay where you can stand. High rip current risk. If you're caught in a rip current, don't swim against it: swim parallel to shore and wave for help. Always follow the lifeguard's flags.

  • Water 68 °F

    Cool: refreshing on a hot day.

  • Sun & sunscreen UV 11 · SPF 50

    Max UV 11 (very high): SPF 50 sunscreen, reapplied every 2 hours. Seek shade 10:00 am–2:00 pm (very high UV).

  • Wind 11 mph

    Onshore breeze (11 mph).

  • Tide & sand 8:33 am

    Low tide at 8:33 am: that's when there's the most sand. High tide at 10:56 pm.

The best window, 9:00 am to 1:00 pm, brings sunshine, beach weather, little wind and low tide at 8:33 am, though with some waves and very high UV. 2:00 pm to 4:00 pm can also work, with sunshine, pleasant temperatures and little wind, though with some waves.

Today's high and low tides

  • ▼ Low tide 8:33 am 0.2 ft

↑ Rising The tide is rising. 9 h 7 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).

Sea and waves

The sea at Jurien Bay

7-day waves

Sea stateSea state: slight

Slight Douglas 3 · gentle breeze, Beaufort 3
Waves 4.0 ft · 11.4 s from the southwest (223°)
Swell 3.7 ft · 10.7 s from the southwest
Current 0.4 mph toward the ESE

The waves you may find

  • Most commonMost common2.0 ft
  • Significant4.0 ft
  • Highest expectedHighest7.9 ft

One wave in seven is higher than the significant height, and about 3 times a day one reaches 7.9 ft. Before heading out, expect waves of up to 7.9 ft.

Wind on the coast and offshore

On the coast 10 mph WSW · gusts 23
Offshore (4.5 mi NNW)Offshore 9 mph WSW · gusts 16

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.

Today’s surf at a glance

The best window, 8:00 am to 12:00 pm, has a good size and glassy water. 1:00 pm to 2:00 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.

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.

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
  • 6:56–7:56 am Minor · moonset · medium activity
  • 9:59–10:59 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

Shallow, gradual

Shallow, gradual bottom: you need to go 2.5 mi out for 33 ft of water.

From the shoreline (0.5 mi from Jurien Bay) out to sea, heading west.

How far from shore

  • 16 ft deep2.1 mi
  • 33 ft deep2.5 mi
  • 66 ft deepnot within 3.1 mi
  • 164 ft deepnot within 3.1 mi

For fishing, swimming and diving

  • Shore fishing. Shallow, gradual bottom (16 ft at 2.1 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 2.5 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).
