- ▼ Next low tide 10:45 pm 0.6 ft
↓ Falling The tide is falling. 46 min to low tide at 10:45 pm.
Tide coefficient 101 for the 4:17 am high tide and 97 for the 4:27 pm high tide. Big spring tides. The water rises and falls 5.1 ft between the highest high and the lowest low: a large range for this place. 70 is an average tide here; 90 and above means spring tides; below 45, neap tides. What is the tide coefficient?
2026 extremes: the highest tide of the year is on March 20 (6.3 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: 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 105, 5.7 ft range). The smallest, on October 18 (coefficient 23, 1.4 ft).

Where this tide comes from
Tides from the Cape Town station (TICON-4), 1.9 mi from Cape Town. Times and heights are its predictions.

The sea at Cape Town
Sea stateSea state: moderate
The waves you may find
- Most commonMost common3.2 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
Cross-offshore wind. The coast faces west and the wind comes off the land at an angle: calmer water near the shore, and bait and boats drift out to sea.
Wave height, next 7 daysWaves, next 7 days
Waves build over the next few days. The biggest waves arrive on Thursday 29: 9.1 ft with a period of 13 s, from the southwest (rough).
Water temperature
Water temperature →The satellite measured 4.9 °F more yesterday than the model gives now: the water is probably warmer than the forecast says.
Water temperature changes how fish behave: in very cold or very warm water they feed less. The water cools over the next few days: about 55.5 °F by Tuesday 3.
Water colder than normal for late October (−2.6 °F).

Surf in Cape Town today
Surf today
Very good- 3.4–5.2 ft surf at the shore, a good size with some punch
- 2.8 ft swell at 13 s from the southwest, long-period and powerful
- Light offshore wind (11 mph): it holds up and grooms the waves
- Falling tide (low tide at 10:45 pm)
- Light: First light 5:24 am · sunrise 5:50 am · sunset 7:11 pm · last light 7:37 pm
- Tide: high 4:17 am (5.6 ft), low 10:15 am (0.9 ft), high 4:27 pm (5.7 ft) and low 10:45 pm (0.6 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 57.4 °F–59.9 °F: a 4/3 fullsuit (booties if you run cold).
- Energy: 250 kJ · Medium power
Today’s surf at a glance
The best window, 4:00 pm to 7:37 pm, has a good size, a clean swell and light offshore 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 Cape Town today
Diving and snorkeling today
Likely visibility: good- Slack water around low tide (10:15 am): little current from 9:50 am to 10:40 am
- 2.7 ft swell at 6 s from the southwest: some surge on the bottom
- Light offshore wind (9 mph)
- 0.3 mph current toward the west, weak (model)
- Sun high: more light underwater
- Slack water today: high tide 4:17 am (4:00–4:40 am), low tide 10:15 am (9:50–10:40 am), high tide 4:27 pm (4:10–4:50 pm) and low tide 10:45 pm (10:20–11:10 pm)
- Likely visibility: good. Swell (up to 4.1 ft at 7 s) over the last few days has stirred up the water. Based on the last 24 hours of data.
- Water at 57.4–59.9 °F: a 7 mm wetsuit, with hood and booties.
- Snorkeling: doable, with some waves or wind.
- Night dive: dark from 7:37 pm. Waning gibbous (93%), rising at 10:17 pm: a bright night.
Your diving day at a glance
The best window, 9:30 am to 11:10 am, combines slack water at low tide, light wind, weak current and the sun high. Also worth a look from 3:50 pm to 4:30 pm, with slack water at high tide, light wind and weak current, though with some swell.
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.

The moon in Cape Town
Moon phase and position
Today the moon is 226,471 mi away and looks 32′ 46″ across.
Solunar periods
Today's activity: high- 1:05–3:05 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity
- 1:36–3:36 pm Major · the moon passes underfoot · high activity
- 6:31–7:31 am Minor · moonset · medium activity
- 9:47–10:47 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.

Water depth
Gentle slopeThe bottom slopes gently: 16 ft deep 0.5 mi from shore and 33 ft at 0.55 mi. It reaches 164 ft at 2.6 mi.

How far from shore
- 16 ft deep0.5 mi
- 33 ft deep0.55 mi
- 66 ft deep0.65 mi
- 164 ft deep2.6 mi
For fishing, swimming and diving
- Shore fishing. Shallow, gradual bottom (16 ft at 0.5 mi): 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. Shore diving works here: 33 ft at 0.55 mi and 66 ft at 0.65 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). The profile is turned slightly from the coast so it does not run into an island or a headland.
