Spring & neap tides at Mumbai (Apollo Bunder), Maharashtra

Next spring tide on Sat 02 May (range 3.4m). Next neap on Thu 30 Apr.

About tides at Mumbai (Apollo Bunder), Maharashtra

Mumbai sits on a long south-pointing peninsula on India's west coast, with the Apollo Bunder reference gauge near the Gateway of India at the harbour mouth on the eastern bay-facing shore, and the open Arabian Sea on the western side from Marine Drive south through Worli Sea Face and on to the long sand at Juhu and Versova. The tide here is one of the larger ranges on the Indian subcontinent and the largest on India's west coast. The pattern at the Apollo Bunder gauge is cleanly semidiurnal — two highs and two lows of comparable size about twelve and a half hours apart — with a mean range of about 2.4 metres, climbing past 4.5 metres on the largest spring tides and dropping near 1.5 on neaps. That dramatic spring-neap asymmetry is part of the local fishing rhythm and the Koli community on Versova Beach and at Sassoon Dock reads it for the boat-launch and beach-haul windows that have run by the moon for centuries before the railways arrived. The defining seasonal force is the south-west monsoon from June through September, which runs hard onshore winds against the coast and lifts apparent water levels well above predicted by stacking surge against the harbour mouth — the spring tide and monsoon high tide together can flood the low-lying streets near Marine Lines and the Worli sea-link approaches. Beach widths at Juhu, Aksa, and Madh change visibly across each cycle. Bandra Bandstand's tide-pool ledges and the rocky intertidal at Worli Fort open up on the lowest spring lows for hours either side. Open-Meteo Marine drives the gridded predictions on this page; for authoritative Indian tide data, the Survey of India and the Indian National Centre for Ocean Information Services (INCOIS) publish the official tide tables. Tropical-cyclone season runs late summer through autumn and surge events can override the harmonic signal entirely.

Common questions about tides at Mumbai (Apollo Bunder), Maharashtra

When is the next high tide at Mumbai?
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.
Why is the tide range so big at Mumbai?
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.
Where do these tide predictions come from?
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.
How does the monsoon affect the tide at Mumbai?
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.
Is this safe to use for navigation?
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.
