In short

Tides in Sydney are mixed, mainly semidiurnal: usually two high and two low waters a day, with neighbouring tides of noticeably different height. Today the range between low and high water is 1.1 m; at spring tides (new and full moon) it reaches 1.6 m, at neap tides about 0.8 m. Predictions use the harmonic constants of the nearest shore point, 1.6 km from the place; points run every 2 km along the coast.

By the water

Good to know in Sydney

When to walk out at low tide

Next low tide is today at 18:37 (-0.4 m). The shore is widest for an hour either side of it; head back before the tide turns.

Where to park

Above the high-water mark: the next high tide is tomorrow at 00:28, +0.2 m, and the highest this month is +0.9 m. Shore-side stopovers are on the map with the tides layer.

Wind and pressure

Onshore wind and low pressure push the water above the prediction, offshore wind pulls it below. Hourly wind and rain are in the place card on the map.

Offline

In the CAMPLY app the phone calculates the tide itself, so the tide in Sydney shows even with no signal.

FAQ

Questions about tides in Sydney

When is high tide in Sydney today?

High tide at 11:47 (+0.6 m). Low tide at 05:10 (-0.4 m) and at 18:37 (-0.4 m). Local time (UTC+11).

What is the tidal range in Sydney?

About 1.1 m today. At spring tides (new and full moon) up to 1.6 m, at neap tides about 0.8 m. Heights are relative to mean sea level.

How accurate are the predictions?

They use the harmonic constants of the nearest shore point — the same maths as published tide tables. Wind and air pressure can shift the level by tens of centimetres, so allow a margin at high water. Not for navigation.

Can I walk on the seabed at low tide?

The shore is widest for about two hours around low water. Head back before the tide turns: the water rises fast, and it is easy to get stuck on mudflats.
