Major Periods (2h)
Minor Periods (1h)
Based on the Solunar Theory (John Alden Knight): fish and wildlife tend to feed more during the periods when the moon is overhead or underfoot (major) and at moonrise/moonset (minor). The score considers the lunar phase and the crossing of major periods with the local high tide.

Situated along the coastline of New Zealand (-42.41° S, 173.70° E), Kaikoura lies in the southern hemisphere. Its tidal pattern is semi-diurnal (two high and two low tides per day), with a mean tidal range of 1.2m and spring tides reaching up to 1.2m. Tides have a moderate range of 0.5 to 1.5 metres, creating gentle currents that influence shore fishing. Bathers and stand-up paddlers can choose between morning and afternoon high tides for calm-water conditions. Coastal water salinity varies with rainy seasons, creating gradients that influence the distribution of marine species. This page shows the complete 2026 tide table for Kaikoura, with precise high and low tide times and heights in metres for every day of the year. In September, Kaikoura is in its spring season, a key period for water sports, fishing, diving, and coastal navigation. MaréAgora calculations use harmonic decomposition calibrated via satellite altimetry and local gauges to ensure high accuracy.
