Tide times at Kananook Creek

Saturday 17 October 2026 · Australia/Melbourne

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.
