Tide Table Cairns — 2026

📘 About Cairns Tide Forecast

With geographic coordinates of -16.92° S, 145.78° E, Cairns is a key coastal reference in Austrália. Its tidal pattern is mixed semi-diurnal (unequal tidal heights across the day), with a mean tidal range of 2m and spring tides reaching up to 2.2m. The 1.5–3m tidal range drives efficient water exchange in coves and estuaries, supporting good water quality. Mixed tides blend characteristics of diurnal and semi-diurnal patterns — the morning tide may differ greatly from the afternoon tide in height and current. Tidal dynamics in this bay or inlet are shaped by the geometry of its entrance, which can amplify or reduce range relative to the open sea. Access the updated 2026 tide table for Cairns featuring exact high and low water times, ranges, and coefficients for boating and angling. In July, Cairns is in its winter season, a key period for water sports, fishing, diving, and coastal navigation. Reported times and heights derive from fundamental harmonic component analysis (M2, S2, K1, O1) applied to these coordinates.
