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

Where this tide comes from
Tides from the Tapuaetahi Bay / Boat Harbour station (LINZ), 4.0 mi from Hot Water Beach. Times and heights are its predictions. It is a NOAA subordinate station: its times and heights come from the Tauranga reference station with the official corrections.

The sea at Hot Water Beach
Sea stateSea state: slight
The waves you may find
- Most commonMost common1.3 ft
- Significant2.6 ft
- Highest expectedHighest5.3 ft
One wave in seven is higher than the significant height, and about 3 times a day one reaches 5.3 ft. Before heading out, expect waves of up to 5.3 ft.
Wind on the coast and offshore
Offshore wind. The coast faces east 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 Wednesday 4: 6.2 ft with a period of 6 s, from the northeast (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 61.8 °F by Wednesday 4.

Surf in Hot Water Beach today
Surf today
Poor- 1.0–1.6 ft surf at the shore, small: good for learning or a longboard
- 1.9 ft swell at 5 s from the north, short: weak, messy waves; it hits this coast at an angle
- Moderate offshore wind (18 mph): it holds up and grooms the waves
- Rising tide (high tide at 10:00 pm)
- Light: First light 5:48 am · sunrise 6:15 am · sunset 7:46 pm · last light 8:14 pm
- Tide: low 3:29 am (0.2 ft), high 9:44 am (6.0 ft), low 3:57 pm (0.6 ft) and high 10:00 pm (5.8 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 60.6 °F: a 4/3 fullsuit.
- Energy: 25 kJ · Low 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 and a short-period swell.
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 Hot Water Beach today
Diving and snorkeling today
Likely visibility: good- Slack water around high tide (9:44 am): little current from 9:20 am to 10:10 am

- Water at 60.6 °F: a 7 mm wetsuit, with hood and booties.
- Snorkeling: doable, with some waves or wind.
- Night dive: dark from 8:14 pm. Waning gibbous (89%), rising at 11:37 pm: a bright night.
Your diving day at a glance
The best window, 9:00 am to 10:30 am, combines slack water at high tide, little swell and weak current, though with moderate wind. Also worth a look from 3:30 pm to 4:20 pm, with slack water at low tide, weak current and the sun high, though with 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.
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 226,442 mi away and looks 32′ 47″ across.
Solunar periods
Today's activity: medium- 2:11–4:11 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity
- 2:43–4:43 pm Major · the moon passes underfoot · high activity
- 7:22–8:22 am Minor · moonset · medium activity
- 11:07 pm–12:07 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.

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 0.7 mi from shore.
Rough estimate: here the data comes in cells of about 0.3 mi and misses details near shore (rocks, sandbars, small coves).
