Tarakohe tide times

Tarakohe has no predictions of its own. These times are Nelson's, shifted by the difference LINZ publishes for Tarakohe (+2m at high water, +8m at low water), with heights scaled by the published ratio of 1.

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 -0003 to +0015 at high water and +0004 to +0015 at low water. Treat a derived time as ±20 minutes, and read how secondary ports work.
