Gold Coast, QLD tide times

The hero block shows the next high tide at the Gold Coast Seaway reference in local Brisbane time, height above MSL. The 7-day table covers daily highs and lows. The inner river reaches up the Coomera and the Nerang see the high water 30–60 minutes after the Seaway, depending on the river-mouth restriction.

Mean range at the Gold Coast Seaway is about 1.3 metres. Spring tides push toward 1.8 metres, neaps drop near 0.8. The Australian east coast runs modest semidiurnal swings — Sydney to the south runs about 1.2 metres mean, and the pattern stays consistent up the Queensland coast until the Great Barrier Reef geometry starts to amplify the signal further north.

Currents through the Gold Coast Seaway peak roughly midway between high and low tide, when the height difference between the open ocean and the inner river is steepest. Slack water — the calmest moment to cross or anchor — is around the actual high and low at the Seaway. The 7-day table flags each daily extreme.

No. For piloting through the Gold Coast Seaway, the Broadwater, or the inner-river reaches use the Australian Bureau of Meteorology tide tables, the Australian Hydrographic Office charts, and Maritime Safety Queensland notices. Open-Meteo's gridded data is general-planning information, not a navigational source.
