Where this tide comes from
Tides from the Havelock station (LINZ), 0.0 mi from Havelock. Times and heights are its predictions. It is a NOAA subordinate station: its times and heights come from the Nelson reference station with the official corrections.

Your diving day at a glance
The best window, 6:30 pm to 7:10 pm, lines up with light wind, though with waves. Also worth a look from 11:40 am to 1:00 pm, with slack water at high tide and the sun high, though with waves 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.
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: high- 2:19–4:19 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity
- 2:51–4:51 pm Major · the moon passes underfoot · high activity
- 7:13–8:13 am Minor · moonset · medium activity
- 11:33 pm–12:33 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.
