Tide heights throughout the day. Hover over the chart to see exact times and heights.
Slack water occurs around high and low tide when the water briefly stops moving before changing direction. Currents are typically weakest during these periods.
Whether high or low tide is better depends on this specific location — beach access, water depth, and local conditions all vary. Check the Community tab for local knowledge.

Tide predictions for this location are based on data from the nearest tidal monitoring station.
Tide times may vary slightly from predictions due to local geography and weather conditions. The closer the station, the more accurate the predictions.
Every spot is different. Some beaches are best at low tide for more space, others need high tide for safe swimming depth. Local swimmers know what works here.

Slack water is the brief period around high and low tide when the water stops moving before changing direction. During slack water, tidal currents are at their weakest, which many swimmers find makes for calmer conditions. The slack period typically lasts 1-2 hours either side of the tide turning.
It depends entirely on the location. Some spots offer better swimming at high tide (deeper water, access to certain areas), while others are better at low tide (more beach space, calmer pools). Check the Community tab for local knowledge about what works at this specific spot.
Spring tides occur around new and full moons when tidal range is largest — higher highs and lower lows. Neap tides happen at quarter moons with smaller tidal ranges. Spring tides can mean stronger currents but also more water movement. The 7-day forecast helps you see these patterns.
The curve shows water height throughout the day. Peaks are high tides, troughs are low tides. The purple "Now" marker shows current conditions. Shaded areas indicate slack water periods when currents are typically calmer. Heights are in metres above chart datum (the lowest astronomical tide).
Tides are driven by the moon, which rises about 50 minutes later each day. This means high and low tides shift forward by roughly 50 minutes daily. The 7-day forecast helps you plan ahead as times move through the day.
Tidal currents can be very strong at certain locations, especially in narrow channels, around headlands, or during spring tides. Currents are typically strongest midway between high and low tide. Always research local conditions, never swim alone in tidal waters, and know your exit points before entering.
