Ōtaki Beach tide times

Ōtaki Beach has no predictions of its own. These times are Port Taranaki's, shifted by the difference LINZ publishes for Ōtaki Beach (+13m at high water, +9m at low water), with heights scaled by the published ratio of 0.61.

Predictions — not for navigation

These are LINZ's astronomical predictions. Actual water levels differ with barometric pressure, wind and storm surge — commonly by 0.3 m, and by a metre or more in a severe low. Do not use this site for navigation or for any decision where being wrong is dangerous. For navigation use the official LINZ tide tables and current charts. Heights are metres above chart datum, not above sea level, and times are New Zealand local time including daylight saving.

How exact is this? The figures above are LINZ's mean differences. The real difference varies through the month, between -0035 to +0116 at high water and -0056 to +0107 at low water. Treat a derived time as ±20 minutes, and read how secondary ports work.
