Waves: total sea height offshore. Swell: the longer ocean swell under it. Arrows and directions show where the wind or swell is heading. Falling pressure means unsettled weather; rising means clearing.
Tides
High and low tide, next 5 days.
For the river mouth, the rocks and the estuary. Full 7-day tide page.
The tide curve comes from a global ocean model, not a harbour tide gauge. Times can be out by up to an hour and the real range is bigger than shown. Check the SA Navy tide tables when it matters.
