Sydney
Sydney Tide Poster
From Bondi to Bronte, Sydney's coastline is defined by its iconic beaches and the dependable Pacific tides that shape them. The harbour city's tidal rhythm is a gentle, semi-diurnal pulse that has guided maritime life since the First Fleet — familiar, constant, and deeply connected to the city's identity.

How to read it
A year of tides, turned into a grid.
Each row is a month — July at the top, June at the bottom. Each column is a day. The dots show when high and low tides happen, and how big they are.
Bigger dots mean more extreme tides. Spring tides cluster around full and new moons, neap tides sit quieter in between.
Once you learn to read one beach, you can read any beach. The patterns are always unique to the location.
