2026 extremes: the highest tide of the year is on July 16 (10.9 ft) and the lowest, on December 27 (0.3 ft).
Semidiurnal: two high and two low tides a day, of similar height.
Heights above chart datum (CD), the zero of that port's nautical charts. 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 (CD)
Tide coefficient and range in October
The biggest tides of the month came from October 28 to 30 (coefficient 89, 9.7 ft range). The smallest, from October 20 to 21 (coefficient 47, 5.0 ft).

Where this tide comes from
Tides from the Mātiatia Bay station (LINZ), 1.5 mi from Oneroa. Times and heights are its predictions. It is a NOAA subordinate station: its times and heights come from the Auckland reference station with the official corrections.

The sea at Oneroa
Sea stateSea state: slight
The waves you may find
- Most commonMost common0.9 ft
- Significant1.7 ft
- Highest expectedHighest3.6 ft
One wave in seven is higher than the significant height, and about 3 times a day one reaches 3.6 ft. Before heading out, expect waves of up to 3.6 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 stay much the same all week. The biggest waves arrive on Friday 30: 2.8 ft with a period of 3 s, from the west (slight).
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 65.3 °F by Thursday 5.
Water warmer than normal for late October (+1.1 °F).

Surf in Oneroa today
Surf today
Poor- 0.7–1.0 ft surf at the shore, small: good for learning or a longboard
- 0.6 ft swell at 5 s from the north, short: weak, messy waves
- 1.8 ft wind swell at 3 s: messy waves
- Moderate offshore wind (16 mph): it holds up and grooms the waves
- Rising tide (high tide at 11:03 am)
- Light: First light 5:50 am · sunrise 6:18 am · sunset 7:50 pm · last light 8:18 pm
- Tide: low 4:44 am (0.6 ft), high 11:03 am (10.3 ft), low 5:13 pm (1.2 ft) and high 11:24 pm (9.8 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 62.8 °F: a 3/2 fullsuit.
- Energy: 5 kJ · Low power
Today’s surf at a glance
The best window, 7:00 am to 11:00 am, has light offshore wind, though with small waves, a short-period swell and wind 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 Oneroa today
Diving and snorkeling today
Likely visibility: good- Slack water around high tide (11:03 am): little current from 10:40 am to 11:20 am
- 0.5 ft swell at 5 s from the north: barely any surge
- Fresh offshore wind (21 mph): it pushes surface swimmers away from shore
- 0.2 mph current toward the east-northeast, weak (model)
- Sun high: more light underwater
- Slack water today: low tide 4:44 am (4:20–5:00 am), high tide 11:03 am (10:40–11:20 am), low tide 5:13 pm (4:50–5:30 pm) and high tide 11:24 pm (11:00–11:50 pm)
- Likely visibility: good. The sea has been calm and there's been little rain. Based on the last 24 hours of data.
- Water at 62.8 °F: a 7 mm wetsuit, with hood and booties.
- Snorkeling: better not, with these waves, wind or current.
- Night dive: dark from 8:18 pm. Waning gibbous (81%): a bright night.
Your diving day at a glance
The best window, 10:10 am to 12:00 pm, combines slack water at high tide, little swell, weak current and the sun high, though with fresh wind. Also worth a look from 4:40 pm to 5:30 pm, with slack water at low tide and weak current, though with fresh 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 226,974 mi away and looks 32′ 42″ across.
Solunar periods
Today's activity: medium- 3:18–5:18 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity
- 3:51–5:51 pm Major · the moon passes underfoot · high activity
- 8:27–9:27 am Minor · moonset · 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 0.3 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. 33 ft deep 0.4 mi from shore; 66 ft is far out (1.1 mi): for deeper dives, 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).
