↑ Rising The tide is rising. 6 h 37 min to high tide at 10:44 pm.

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
Quindalup has no station of its own, so we use the tide at Port Geographe (Busselton, Department of Transport (Western Australia)), 14 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 Quindalup
Sea stateSea state: slight
The waves you may find
- Most commonMost common1.8 ft
- Significant3.6 ft
- Highest expectedHighest7.2 ft
One wave in seven is higher than the significant height, and about 3 times a day one reaches 7.2 ft. Before heading out, expect waves of up to 7.2 ft.
Wind on the coast and offshore
Cross-offshore wind. The coast faces north and the wind comes off the land at an angle: calmer water near the shore, and bait and boats drift out to sea.
Wave height, next 7 daysWaves, next 7 days
Waves build over the next few days. The biggest waves arrive on Tuesday 3: 7.2 ft with a period of 8 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 66.9 °F by Wednesday 4.
Water warmer than normal for late October (+1.1 °F).

Surf in Quindalup today
Surf today
Poor- 1.0–1.5 ft surf at the shore, small: good for learning or a longboard
- 2.9 ft swell at 12 s from the southwest, average; this coast faces away from it
- Light offshore wind (11 mph): it holds up and grooms the waves
- Rising tide (high tide at 10:44 pm)
- Light: First light 4:57 am · sunrise 5:23 am · sunset 6:44 pm · last light 7:10 pm
- Tide: low 8:27 am (0.2 ft) and high 10:44 pm (2.9 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 65.1 °F–66.9 °F: a 3/2 fullsuit.
- Energy: 205 kJ · Medium power
Today’s surf at a glance
The best window, 3:00 pm to 7:00 pm, has light offshore wind, though with small waves. 7:00 am to 11:00 am can also work, with glassy water, though with small waves.
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 Quindalup today
Diving and snorkeling today

- Slack water today: low tide 8:27 am (8:10–8:50 am) and high tide 10:44 pm (10:29–11:00 pm)
- Likely visibility: fair. Swell (up to 3.3 ft at 10 s) over the last few days has stirred up the water. Based on the last 24 hours of data.
- Water at 65.1–66.9 °F: a 5 mm wetsuit.
- Snorkeling: doable, with some waves or wind.
- Night dive: dark from 7:10 pm. Waning gibbous (88%), rising at 10:39 pm: a bright night.
Your diving day at a glance
The best window, 7:50 am to 8:30 am, combines slack water at low tide, light wind and weak current, though with some swell. Also worth a look from 2:20 pm to 3:20 pm, with 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- 1:24–3:24 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity
- 1:56–3:56 pm Major · the moon passes underfoot · high activity
- 6:45–7:45 am Minor · moonset · medium activity
- 10:09–11:09 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 0.9 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 1.6 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).
