Tide times at Surry River (Narrawong)

Saturday 17 October 2026 · Australia/Melbourne

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 reads the open-sea tide, not this inlet's, so the real change here can come up to about two hours later and its range is different. Use the BoM tide tables for Victoria for this area.
