2026 extremes: the highest tide of the year is on December 26 (13.0 ft) and the lowest, on April 18 (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 26 to 28 (coefficient 93, 12.2 ft range). The smallest, from October 19 to 20 (coefficient 40, 5.0 ft).

Where this tide comes from
Tides from the Papakura Channel - LPG Terminal station (LINZ), 2.8 mi from Wiri. Times and heights are its predictions. It is a NOAA subordinate station: its times and heights come from the Onehunga reference station with the official corrections.

The sea at Wiri
Sea stateSea state: smooth
The waves you may find
- Most commonMost common0.6 ft
- Significant1.2 ft
- Highest expectedHighest2.6 ft
One wave in seven is higher than the significant height, and about 3 times a day one reaches 2.6 ft. Before heading out, expect waves of up to 2.6 ft.
Wind on the coast and offshore
Cross-onshore wind. The coast faces southwest and the wind comes in from the sea at an angle: a bit more surf at the shore and drift along the coast, toward land.
Wave height, next 7 daysWaves, next 7 days
Waves stay much the same all week. The biggest waves arrive on Friday 30: 1.4 ft with a period of 2 s, from the west-southwest (smooth).
Water temperature

Your diving day at a glance
The best window, 6:50 am to 7:50 am, combines slack water at low tide, small waves, light wind and weak current. Also worth a look from 1:00 pm to 2:10 pm, with slack water at high tide, small waves, 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- 2:15–4:15 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity
- 2:47–4:47 pm Major · the moon passes underfoot · high activity
- 7:26–8:26 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.
