Tide & Moon: tides, moon and bite windows on one timeline.

Everything on one timeline

Local tides

Tide curves for stations around the North Island, from LINZ standard and secondary ports. Choose the station nearest your launch.

A few stations only publish times, not heights. The page tells you when that's the case.

Solunar windows

Major periods when the moon is overhead or underfoot, minor periods around moonrise and moonset, shown as bands on the chart.

A recognised approximation of solunar theory, worked out for your station's own position.

Moon and sun

Moon phase, moonrise and moonset, sunrise and sunset for the day you're looking at.

Scroll through time

Drag the chart to move through the days. The centre line tracks the date, time and moon phase. Switch between 3 and 5 days, or jump back to today.

Best window

An outlook picks out each day's strongest bite window, so you can see at a glance which days line up.

Plan with the charts

Pick your day here, then check the water on the charts: temperature breaks, zone edges and currents.

Plan the day. Then read the water.

Moon & tide is free to open. For the charts, try the demo or create a free account for 14 days of full Pro.
