🎣 Solunar Table
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.

📘 About Cape Town Tide Forecast
Situated along the coastline of South Africa (-33.92° S, 18.42° E), Cape Town 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 0.8m and spring tides reaching up to 1.4m. Oyster and shellfish farmers exploit the 0.5–1.5m range to alternate aerial exposure and submersion in their culture beds. Bathers and stand-up paddlers can choose between morning and afternoon high tides for calm-water conditions. Its geographic position creates unique interactions between oceanic swell and local tidal currents. This page shows the complete 2026 tide table for Cape Town, with precise high and low tide times and heights in metres for every day of the year. In October, Cape Town is in its spring season, a key period for water sports, fishing, diving, and coastal navigation. Our oceanographic database syncs historical gauge records to refine harmonic coefficients for this stretch of coastline.
