Your day at a glance

The best window, 3:00 am to 4:10 am, combines the 3:58 am low tide, a major period and falling pressure. Also worth a try from 3:20 pm to 4:50 pm, with the 4:23 pm low tide, a major period, falling pressure and some swell, though with fresh wind.

↑ Rising The tide is rising. 30 min to high tide at 10:25 am.

Tide coefficient 89 for the 10:25 am high tide and 88 for the 10:43 pm high tide. Average coefficient. The water rises and falls 10.2 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 July 16 (11.9 ft) and the lowest, on December 27 (0.9 ft).

Semidiurnal: two high and two low tides a day, of similar height.

Tide coefficient and range in October

The biggest tides of the month came from October 28 to 30 (coefficient 89, 10.1 ft range). The smallest, from October 20 to 21 (coefficient 47, 5.3 ft).

Where this tide comes from

Tides from the Auckland station (LINZ), 2.4 mi from Bayswater. Times and heights are its predictions.

How we calculate the tide

Sea and waves

The sea at Bayswater

7-day waves

Sea stateSea state: smooth

Smooth Douglas 2 · moderate breeze, Beaufort 4
Waves 1.3 ft · 2.6 s from the west-northwest (293°)
Swell 0.3 ft · 4.8 s from the north-northeast
Current 0.2 mph toward the ESE

The waves you may find

  • Most commonMost common0.7 ft
  • Significant1.3 ft
  • Highest expectedHighest2.8 ft

One wave in seven is higher than the significant height, and about 3 times a day one reaches 2.8 ft. Before heading out, expect waves of up to 2.8 ft.

Wind on the coast and offshore

On the coast 18 mph W · gusts 30
Offshore (13 mi S)Offshore 15 mph W · gusts 23

Cross-offshore wind. The coast faces northeast and the wind comes off the land at an angle: calmer water near the shore, and bait and boats drift out to sea.

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 64.3 °F by Wednesday 4.

Water warmer than normal for late October (+1.2 °F).

Today’s surf at a glance

The best window, 6:00 am to 10:00 am, has light offshore wind, though with barely any 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.

Your diving day at a glance

The best window, 9:40 am to 11:10 am, combines slack water at high tide, little swell, weak current and the sun high, though with fresh wind. Also worth a look from 2:50 pm to 5:00 pm, with slack water at low tide, little swell and the sun high, though with fresh wind and current. Also worth a look from 6:20 am to 8:40 am, with little swell and weak current, though with tidal current and moderate wind.

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
  • 2:15–4:15 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity

  • 7:27–8:27 am Minor · moonset · medium activity
  • 11:11 pm–12:11 am 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

Gentle slope

The bottom slopes gently: 16 ft deep 1,300 ft from shore and 33 ft at 0.8 mi.

From the shoreline (1.5 mi from Bayswater) out to sea, heading northeast.

How far from shore

  • 16 ft deep1,300 ft
  • 33 ft deep0.8 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 1,300 ft): 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 0.8 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).
