Tide times at Balcombe Creek Mouth
These are ocean tide times at the entrance. The entrance is often closed to the sea, and while it is shut the water inside does not follow them.
Heights and times on this page are a model estimate. The model can't see the tide lag inside Port Phillip, so high and low water run early (about three hours across most of the bay, less near the heads), and near the heads it overstates the range. Use the BoM tide tables for Victoria for this area.
