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

Where this tide comes from
Titahi Bay has no station of its own, so we use the tide at Mana Marina (LINZ), 1.7 mi away. On the open coast the difference is usually a few minutes and inches; inside estuaries, rivers and enclosed bays it can be much larger.

The sea at Titahi Bay
Sea stateSea state: moderate
The waves you may find
- Most commonMost common3.3 ft
- Significant6.5 ft
- Highest expectedHighest13 ft
One wave in seven is higher than the significant height, and about 3 times a day one reaches 13 ft. Before heading out, expect waves of up to 13 ft.
Wind on the coast and offshore
Onshore wind. The coast faces northwest and the wind blows straight in from the sea: more surf and backwash at the shore, and bait and boats drift toward land.
Wave height, next 7 daysWaves, next 7 days
Waves stay much the same all week. The biggest waves arrive on Thursday 29: 6.9 ft with a period of 6 s, from the northwest (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 60.6 °F by Wednesday 4.
Water warmer than normal for late October (+1.7 °F).

Surf in Titahi Bay today
Surf today
Poor- 4.0–6.2 ft surf at the shore, a good size with some punch
- 1.2 ft swell at 8 s from the west-northwest, short: weak, messy waves
- 6.4 ft wind swell at 6 s: messy waves
- Strong onshore wind (25 mph): choppy, blown-out waves
- Rising tide (high tide at 12:42 pm)
- Light: First light 5:43 am · sunrise 6:12 am · sunset 7:57 pm · last light 8:27 pm
- Tide: high 12:22 am (5.8 ft), low 6:34 am (1.8 ft), high 12:42 pm (5.9 ft) and low 6:27 pm (1.7 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 59.5 °F: a 4/3 fullsuit (booties if you run cold).
- Energy: 238 kJ · Medium power
Today’s surf at a glance
The best window, 6:00 am to 10:00 am, has a good size, though with a short-period swell, wind swell and onshore wind.
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 Titahi Bay today
Diving and snorkeling today
Likely visibility: fair- Slack water around low tide (6:27 pm): little current from 6:10 pm to 6:50 pm
- 6.6 ft waves: careful getting in and out
- Fresh onshore wind (19 mph)
- 0.5 mph current toward the west-southwest, weak (model)
- Daylight
Not a day for shore diving: swell, wind, current or storms during the best window. If you go, go with a dive shop and only if they give the OK.
- Slack water today: high tide 12:22 am (12:07–12:37 am), low tide 6:34 am (6:10–6:50 am), high tide 12:42 pm (12:27–12:57 pm) and low tide 6:27 pm (6:10–6:50 pm)
- Likely visibility: fair. Swell (up to 3.0 ft at 7 s) and wind over the last few days have stirred up the water. Based on the last 24 hours of data.
- Water at 59.5 °F: a 7 mm wetsuit, with hood and booties.
- Snorkeling: better not, with these waves, wind or current.
- Night dive: dark from 8:27 pm. Waning gibbous (89%), rising at 11:58 pm: a bright night.
Your diving day at a glance
The best window, 6:30 pm to 7:10 pm, combines slack water at low tide and weak current, though with waves and fresh wind. Also worth a look from 12:10 pm to 1:00 pm, with slack water at high tide and the sun high, though with waves, fresh wind and current.
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- 2:15–4:15 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity
- 2:47–4:47 pm Major · the moon passes underfoot · high activity
- 7:10–8:10 am Minor · moonset · medium activity
- 11:28 pm–12:28 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
Deepens quicklyThe bottom deepens quickly: 33 ft of water 750 ft from shore.
From the shoreline out to sea, heading northwest.
How far from shore
- 16 ft deep370 ft
- 33 ft deep750 ft
- 66 ft deep2.3 mi
- 164 ft deepnot within 3.1 mi
For fishing, swimming and diving
- Shore fishing. Deep water close in: about 14 ft just 330 ft out. Good for casting from rocks, jetties or the beach itself; current and surf hit harder here.
- Swimming. The bottom drops quickly near the shore and you are soon out of your depth. Keep an eye on kids and weak swimmers.
- Diving. 33 ft deep 750 ft from shore; 66 ft is far out (2.3 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).
Source: NOAA ETOPO 2022 (CC0), cells of about 0.3 mi; depth below mean sea level. For reference only: not for navigation or anchoring.
