5 beaches in Canterbury — tide times, wave height, swell and sea temperature, with the hourly and 7-day outlook.

Tides in Canterbury

Tide predictions for Canterbury come from 3 LINZ stations: Lyttelton, Akaroa, Kaikōura. Each beach page names the one it uses and how far away it is.

Spring range across those stations runs from 2.1 m at Lyttelton to 1.6 m at Kaikōura, so how far the water moves varies noticeably within the region. 2 of these 5 beaches have no station close enough, and say so instead of quoting one.
