Tide predictions: Maritime Safety Queensland, © State of Queensland (Department of Transport and Main Roads), CC BY 4.0: Scarborough predictions on data.qld.gov.au. Heights in metres above LAT, times in Brisbane time (AEST). Predictions only. Not for navigation.
Reading the table
- Times are Brisbane time (AEST, UTC+10; Queensland has no daylight saving). Heights are metres above Lowest Astronomical Tide (LAT). Highs are in bold.
- Range: the biggest rise or fall between one tide and the next that day, in metres. A bigger range usually means stronger tidal flow.
- Dawn tide and dusk tide: the tide at sunrise and at sunset. Run-in means rising, run-out falling.
- Tide & light windows name the species in season here whose favourite tide stage lines up with the first-light window (first light to two hours after sunrise) or the last-light window (two hours before sunset to last light), on the same rule the forecast uses. Species in a closed season are never named.
- First light and last light are civil twilight, when the sun is 6° below the horizon, worked out for Scarborough.
- Spring: within 2 days of a new or full moon, when the tide range is usually biggest. Neap: within 2 days of a quarter moon.
- Solunar bite times (moon overhead or underfoot for major periods, moonrise or moonset for minor ones) are folklore: they add 0 points to Catch Signal's ratings.
What are the biggest tides at Scarborough in October?
The highest predicted tide at Scarborough in October 2026 is 2.42 m at 10:42 am on 28 October 2026, and the lowest is 0.24 m at 3:36 am on 27 October 2026. The biggest range, 2.17 m between one tide and the next, comes on 28 October 2026. Spring tides, around the new and full moon, fall on 9–12 and 25–28 October.
How do the Scarborough tides compare with Deep Water Bend?
Deep Water Bend is the nearest other MSQ station to Scarborough, 14 km to the south-west. Matching each high and low in October 2026, high water at Scarborough comes about 17 minutes before Deep Water Bend on average and low water about 37 minutes before; highs are about 0.08 m lower and lows about 0.04 m lower. Both sets of times are MSQ's own predictions for its gauges.
When is the best time to fish at Scarborough?
On Catch Signal's rating, the best time to fish at Scarborough is first or last light when the tide is at the stage the fish you're after bites best on, in a wind light enough to fish. From 9 October to the end of the month, first or last light meets the favourite tide of 2 of the species in season here on 9, 12–16, 19–25 and 27–30 October, the most of any day. The table's Tide & light windows column names the species for each day, and the forecast has the wind.

How the Scarborough tide times are predicted
MSQ's tidal planes also list Scarborough Boat Harbour as a secondary place of Brisbane Bar: high and low water about 7 minutes earlier than Brisbane Bar, with heights 0.95 times Brisbane Bar's. This page uses MSQ's own predictions for the Scarborough gauge instead, which Catch Signal treats as good to about ±5 min rather than ±10 min.
MSQ predictions for Scarborough (048002B).
- These are Maritime Safety Queensland's published predictions for its Scarborough tide gauge, which Catch Signal treats as good to about ±5 min.
- MSQ issued its 2026 predictions for Scarborough on 24 Nov 2025.
- Heights are metres above LAT (Lowest Astronomical Tide), the datum of MSQ's predictions. Times are Brisbane time (AEST, UTC+10).
