2026 extremes: the highest tide of the year is on October 28 (1.9 ft) and the lowest, on June 15 (0.1 ft).
Diurnal: one high and one low tide a day most days.
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 112, 0.0 ft range). The smallest, on October 8 (coefficient 20, 0.4 ft).

Where this tide comes from
Tides from the Bullen Bay station (TICON-4), 2.6 mi from Tera Kora. Times and heights are its predictions.

The sea at Tera Kora
Sea stateSea state: slight
The waves you may find
- Most commonMost common1.0 ft
- Significant2.0 ft
- Highest expectedHighest4.1 ft
One wave in seven is higher than the significant height, and about 3 times a day one reaches 4.1 ft. Before heading out, expect waves of up to 4.1 ft.
Wind on the coast and offshore
The model doesn't separate offshore wind here: it's the same as on the coast.
Onshore wind. The coast faces southeast 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 stay much the same all week. The biggest waves arrive on Thursday 29: 3.3 ft with a period of 5 s, from the east-northeast (slight).
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 Tera Kora today
Surf today
Poor- 1.0–1.5 ft surf at the shore, small: good for learning or a longboard
- 1.5 ft swell at 5 s from the east-northeast, short: weak, messy waves
- Light onshore wind (10 mph): a bit of chop
- Rising tide (high tide at 2:25 pm)
- Light: First light 6:06 am · sunrise 6:28 am · sunset 6:12 pm · last light 6:33 pm
- Tide: high 2:25 pm (1.9 ft) and low 11:53 pm (0.5 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 84.2 °F–85.3 °F: boardshorts or a swimsuit and a rash guard.
- Energy: 8 kJ · Low power
Today’s surf at a glance
The best window is 6:06 am to 10:00 am, though with small waves, a short-period swell and onshore wind.
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.

- 1.4 ft swell at 5 s from the east-northeast: barely any surge
- Light onshore wind (11 mph)
- 0.3 mph current toward the west, weak (model)

- Slack water today: high tide 2:25 pm (2:10–2:40 pm) and low tide 11:53 pm (11:30 pm–12:20 am)
- Likely visibility: good. Rain (0.40 in) over the last few days has stirred up the water. Based on the last 24 hours of data.
- Water at 84.2–85.3 °F: a shorty or a rash guard.
- Snorkeling: doable, with some waves or wind.
- Night dive: dark from 6:33 pm. Waning gibbous (91%), rising at 8:32 pm: a bright night.
Your diving day at a glance
The best window, 1:40 pm to 3:00 pm, combines slack water at high tide, little swell, light wind, weak current and the sun high.
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 226,429 mi away and looks 32′ 47″ across.
Solunar periods
Today's activity: medium- 1:10–3:10 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity
- 1:42–3:42 pm Major · the moon passes underfoot · high activity
- 8:21–9:21 am Minor · moonset · medium activity
- 8:02–9:02 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.

For fishing, swimming and diving
- Shore fishing. 33 ft of water just 0.25 mi from shore: a good cast reaches deep water. Current and surf hit harder here.
- Swimming. The water gets deeper little by little, but a few dozen yards out you can no longer stand.
- Diving. Shore diving works here: 33 ft at 0.25 mi and 66 ft at 0.4 mi from shore.
