Slack Water – Port Phillip

Slack water times and a tidal current map for Port Phillip — the Rip, the Heads and the southern Bay. Through the Heads the tide runs at four knots and more, and slack lasts minutes. It turns at a different time at every site, and the run-in and run-out don't behave the same. Slack Water works it out site by site, on your phone, with no reception needed. SLACK TIMES, SITE BY SITE The Rip, Lonsdale Wall, Pope's Eye, Portsea Hole, Portsea, Queenscliff, Blairgowrie and Rye piers. See the turn, and the window when the current stays under your own limit. CURRENT MAP OF THE BAY See where it's running and where it's slack: arrows, a colour map by speed, or animated flow. YOUR OWN SPOTS AND TRACKS Drop your marks on the map, or open a GPX file from your plotter, email or Files and pick the ones you want. Current and slack at each one. Hide spots from the map or keep only the ones you follow in the slack list. Record your track on the water and export it as GPX. BUILT-IN MAP OF THE BAY Depth shading, contours every 5 m and, if you want it, the seabed type: sand, mud, seagrass, reef. All on your phone. SLACK ALERTS Get a heads-up before slack at the sites you pick. You choose how early. MELBOURNE TIME, ALWAYS Times are shown in Melbourne time, daylight saving included.

PLANNING AID ONLY — NOT FOR NAVIGATION Predictions are astronomical tide only (no wind, swell, rain or river flow), from a simplified model of the Bay, averaged over the depth; times are approximate. They are not official predictions: the references are the Bureau of Meteorology tide tables and AHO charts. Always check conditions on site.
