Mumbai (Apollo Bunder), Maharashtra tide times

The hero block shows the next high tide at the Apollo Bunder gauge in local Indian Standard Time (UTC+5:30, no DST). The 7-day table covers all the highs and lows. High water on the open-sea side at Versova arrives a few minutes ahead of the harbour gauge; at Thane Creek up the bay it lags by about twenty minutes.

The Konkan coast geometry concentrates the open Arabian Sea tidal forcing as it propagates north along the Indian west coast, and the Mumbai harbour basin amplifies the open-coast signal further. Mean range is about 2.4 metres, but the spring-neap asymmetry is dramatic: spring tides climb past 4.5 metres around new and full moons while neaps drop near 1.5 metres. That four-and-a-half-metre spring swing is the largest on India's west coast.

Open-Meteo Marine, a gridded global ocean model. Useful for daily planning around the harbour, the open-sea beaches at Juhu and Versova, and the working creek systems at Mahim and Thane. For authoritative Indian tide data, the Survey of India and INCOIS publish the official tide tables and operate the Apollo Bunder reference gauge.

The south-west monsoon from June through September runs hard onshore winds against the Konkan coast and stacks surge against the harbour mouth. The combination of spring tide, low atmospheric pressure under the monsoon trough, and sustained westerly wind can lift apparent water levels well above the harmonic prediction and flood low-lying streets near Marine Lines and the Bandra Worli sea link approaches. The harmonic predictions on this page assume normal weather; for monsoon flood threats, the India Meteorological Department is the authoritative real-time source.

No. For piloting in or out of Mumbai harbour, transiting the Thane Creek and the Mahim Bay, or working the open Arabian Sea coast use the Survey of India authoritative tide tables, the Mumbai Port Trust pilotage guidance, and the Indian Coast Guard notices to mariners. The harbour is one of India's busiest commercial ports and the working anchorage south of the harbour mouth carries dozens of ships at any time.
