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

Where this tide comes from
Granity has no station of its own, so we use the tide at Westport (LINZ), 15 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 Granity
Sea stateSea state: rough
The waves you may find
- Most commonMost common5.0 ft
- Significant9.9 ft
- Highest expectedHighest20 ft
One wave in seven is higher than the significant height, and about 3 times a day one reaches 20 ft. Before heading out, expect waves of up to 20 ft.
Wind on the coast and offshore
Cross-onshore wind. The coast faces northwest 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 build over the next few days. The biggest waves arrive on Friday 30: 14 ft with a period of 10 s, from the west (very rough).
Water temperature
Water temperature →Water temperature changes how fish behave: in very cold or very warm water they feed less. The water is steady these days, with no sudden changes.

Surf in Granity today
Surf today
Poor- 4.7–7.3 ft surf at the shore, a good size with some punch
- Big surf (7.3 ft): for experienced surfers
- 5.9 ft swell at 10 s from the west-southwest, average
- Moderate onshore wind (15 mph): choppy, blown-out waves
- Rising tide (low tide at 7:40 pm)
Big surf: for experienced surfers only. If in doubt, stay on the beach.
- Light: First light 5:54 am · sunrise 6:23 am · sunset 8:10 pm · last light 8:40 pm
- Tide: high 1:05 am (11.6 ft), low 7:18 am (2.0 ft), high 1:28 pm (11.5 ft) and low 7:40 pm (2.1 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 56.7 °F: a 5/4 fullsuit with booties (and a hood if it’s windy).
- Energy: 720 kJ · High power
Today’s surf at a glance
The best window, 1:00 pm to 3:00 pm, has a good size, though with big surf and onshore wind. 7:00 pm to 8:40 pm can also work, with a good size, though with big surf and onshore wind. 6:00 am to 10:00 am can also work, with a good size, though with a short-period 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 Granity today
Diving and snorkeling today
Likely visibility: poor- Slack water around low tide (7:18 am): little current from 6:50 am to 7:40 am
- 6.2 ft swell at 6 s from the west-northwest: strong surge on the bottom
- Moderate onshore wind (13 mph)
- 0.4 mph current toward the northeast, weak (model)

- Likely visibility: poor. Swell (up to 7.8 ft at 8 s) and rain (0.77 in) over the last few days have stirred up the water. Based on the last 24 hours of data.
- Water at 56.7 °F: a 7 mm semi-dry suit, with hood, gloves and booties.
- Snorkeling: better not, with these waves, wind or current.
- Night dive: dark from 8:40 pm. Waning gibbous (89%): a bright night.
Your diving day at a glance
The best window, 6:20 am to 7:30 am, combines slack water at low tide and weak current, though with some swell and moderate wind. Also worth a look from 1:00 pm to 2:00 pm, with slack water at high tide, weak current and the sun high, though with a big swell and moderate wind. Also worth a look from 7:10 pm to 8:10 pm, with slack water at low tide, light wind and weak current, though with waves.
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- 2:27–4:27 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity
- 2:59–4:59 pm Major · the moon passes underfoot · high activity
- 7:20–8:20 am Minor · moonset · medium activity
- 11:43 pm–12:43 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. Shallow, gradual bottom (16 ft at 1,100 ft): 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 0.5 mi from shore; 66 ft is far out (1.7 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).
