↓ Falling The tide is falling. 8 min to low tide at 11:03 pm.
Tide coefficient 103 for the 4:33 am high tide and 98 for the 4:51 pm high tide. Big spring tides.

What is the tide coefficient?
2026 extremes: the highest tide of the year is on September 11 (6.7 ft) and the lowest, on March 19 (0.3 ft).
Semidiurnal: two high and two low tides a day, of similar height.
Heights above chart datum: the lowest astronomical tide (LAT), the zero of nautical charts in Europe. 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 (LAT)
Tide coefficient and range in October
The biggest tides of the month came from October 26 to 27 (coefficient 107, 6.2 ft range). The smallest, on October 19 (coefficient 21, 1.1 ft).

Where this tide comes from
Clarendon Marine has no station of its own, so we use the tide at Port Elizabeth (TICON-4), 16 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 Clarendon Marine
Sea stateSea state: slight
The waves you may find
- Most commonMost common1.9 ft
- Significant3.9 ft
- Highest expectedHighest7.7 ft
One wave in seven is higher than the significant height, and about 3 times a day one reaches 7.7 ft. Before heading out, expect waves of up to 7.7 ft.
Wind on the coast and offshore
Offshore wind. The coast faces south and the wind blows from land out to sea: calm shore and clean waves, but watch the drift out to sea.

Waves build over the next few days. The biggest waves arrive on Thursday 29: 8.1 ft with a period of 11 s, from the south-southeast (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 69.2 °F by Tuesday 3.

Surf in Clarendon Marine today
Surf today
Poor- 1.8–2.8 ft surf at the shore, a fun size for most surfers
- 3.2 ft swell at 6 s from the east-southeast, short: weak, messy waves
- Almost no wind (1 mph): glassy water
- Falling tide (low tide at 10:31 am)
- Light: First light 4:56 am · sunrise 5:22 am · sunset 6:43 pm · last light 7:09 pm
- Tide: high 4:33 am (6.0 ft), low 10:31 am (0.8 ft), high 4:51 pm (6.3 ft) and low 11:03 pm (0.7 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 66.2 °F–67.1 °F: a springsuit or a 2 mm fullsuit.
- Energy: 57 kJ · Low power
Today’s surf at a glance
The best window, 5:00 am to 7:00 am, has a good size and glassy water, though with a short-period swell. 5:00 pm to 7:00 pm can also work, with a good size, though with a short-period 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.

Your diving day at a glance
The best window, 9:40 am to 11:20 am, combines slack water at low tide, light wind, weak current and the sun high. Also good from 4:10 pm to 5:30 pm, with slack water at high tide, light wind and weak 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.

The moon in Clarendon Marine
Moon phase and position
Today the moon is 226,471 mi away and looks 32′ 46″ across.
Solunar periods
Today's activity: high- 12:36–2:36 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity
- 1:07–3:07 pm Major · the moon passes underfoot · high activity
- 6:02–7:02 am Minor · moonset · medium activity
- 9:18–10:18 pm 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.

- 66 ft deep0.5 mi
- 164 ft deep1.4 mi
For fishing, swimming and diving
- Shore fishing. Deep water close in: about 13 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. Shore diving works here: 33 ft at 0.25 mi and 66 ft at 0.5 mi from shore.
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.
