Tides in Munster
Today's high and low tides
- ▼ Next low tide 8:36 am 0.2 ft
- ▲ High tide 11:05 pm 2.7 ft · coef. 115
↓ Falling The tide is falling. 2 h 44 min to low tide at 8:36 am.
Tide coefficient 115 for the 11:05 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 (3.6 ft) and the lowest, on November 26 (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 115, 2.5 ft range). The smallest, on October 23 (coefficient 20, 0.9 ft).

Where this tide comes from
Munster has no station of its own, so we use the tide at Fremantle Fishing Boat Harbour (Department of Transport (Western Australia)), 6.0 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 Munster
Sea stateSea state: slight
The waves you may find
- Most commonMost common1.3 ft
- Significant2.6 ft
- Highest expectedHighest5.1 ft
One wave in seven is higher than the significant height, and about 3 times a day one reaches 5.1 ft. Before heading out, expect waves of up to 5.1 ft.
Wind on the coast and offshore
Offshore wind. The coast faces west and the wind blows from land out to sea: calm shore and clean waves, but watch the drift out to sea.
Wave height, next 7 daysWaves, next 7 days
Waves build over the next few days. The biggest waves arrive on Sunday 1: 5.5 ft with a period of 10 s, from the west-southwest (moderate).
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.
Water colder than normal for late October (−1.3 °F).

Your diving day at a glance
The best window, 7:40 am to 10:30 am, combines slack water at low tide, light wind, weak current and the sun high, though with some swell. Also worth a look from 12:40 pm to 2:40 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- 1:21–3:21 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity
- 1:54–3:54 pm Major · the moon passes underfoot · high activity
- 6:48–7:48 am Minor · moonset · medium activity
- 10:02–11:02 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.
