📘 About Port Elizabeth Tide Forecast

The coordinates for Port Elizabeth (-33.96° S, 25.63° E) place this stretch of South Africa's coast in the southern hemisphere. Its tidal pattern is semi-diurnal (two high and two low tides per day), with a mean tidal range of 0.8m and spring tides reaching up to 1.5m. With tides reaching up to 1.5m, local fishers typically work around the two hours flanking high tide to benefit from stronger flow. The semi-diurnal cycle flushes coves frequently, shortening water residence time and maintaining high oxygenation levels. The speed and direction of tidal currents here vary seasonally with the region's prevailing winds.
