    Instructions
    To change Sandy Point tides between metres and feet click the 'height' link on the top right of the graph. WillyWeather will remember the selection for next time you visit. You may navigate to different dates with the left and right arrows, or by using the 'jump to date' button on the bottom right of the tide chart. To find the closest tide locations to Sandy Point, see the 'closest locations' link and the map in the sidebar to the right.
    The Data
    Tide times data has been adjusted for daylight savings where and when applicable. WillyWeather interpolates its tide times for many locations by converting the tide forecasts provided by the Australian Bureau of Meteorology for standard ports, and data from the Australian National Tide Tables. The tide times on the Sandy Point tides page have been adjusted by 14 mins for low tide and 14 mins for high tide to the official tide times for Port Phillip Heads. Tide height data is for Port Phillip Heads, no adjustment has been made.

    The Data
    This graph is the Sandy Point tide chart represented as a curve. It shows the tidal range, as well as tide height for different times of the day. The tide height data is provided by the Australian Bureau of Meteorology and the Australian National Tide Tables for standard ports.

    How to Read the Tide Clock
    This tide clock displays the current tide for Sandy Point. The blue numbers on the left are hours until high tide, and the red numbers on the right are hours until low tide. So on this clock if the hand is pointing to the red 3 (on the right) then it means that there would be 3 hours until low tide at Sandy Point.

    Tide Clock Accuracy
    The online tide clock displays the current tide for Sandy Point as supplied by the Bureau of Meteorology using methods of interpolation and offsets provided by the Australian National Tide Tables. Actual tide clocks such as those available through the store on this website are not accurate enough for scientific purposes as they do not take into account the gravitational effects of the sun, or changes in atmospheric pressure which may alter the state of the tides. Please note that in some areas, the gravitational effects of the sun are similar in magnitude to that of the moon.

    FLOOD WATCH FOR MINOR FLOODING ALONG
    THE SEVERN AND MACINTYRE RIVERS
    AND THE GWYDIR RIVER VALLEY
    Issued at 10:44 AM on Thursday the 9th of September 2010

    Note: This Flood Watch is a "heads up" for possible future flooding and is NOT a
    Flood Warning [see note below].

    A cold front preceded by a rain band will move across western and southeastern
    New South Wales during Thursday and through the northeast during Friday.
    Forecast rain totals in the order of 20 to 40 millimetres are expected over
    Thursday and Friday over these catchments. Forecast rain amounts are shown on
    the Bureau's web site in the Water and the Land section.

    The area is wet from recent rain and there is a higher than 70% chance of some

    must monitor the latest weather forecasts and warnings and be ready to move to
    higher ground should flooding develop. Flood Warnings will be issued if Minor
    Flood Level is expected to be exceeded at key sites along the main rivers for
    which the Bureau of Meteorology provides a flood warning service. Across NSW,
    about 70% of Flood Watches are followed by flooding.

    by the Bureau of Meteorology, Victorian Regional Office in consultation with
    Melbourne Water

    The Yarra River catchment has received no significant rainfall in the
    24 hours since 09:00am yesterday. Rainfall totals of up to 10mm have
    been forecast for the headwaters of the Yarra River catchment and around
    5mm for the Lower Yarra Region until tomorrow morning. The forecast rainfall
    may cause renewed stream rises at various locations along the Yarra
    River.



    Water level in the upstream reaches of the Yarra River is still
    overtopping its banks at Coldstream (Yarra Grange) and Yarra Glen,
    causing inundation in low-lying areas adjacent to the river, in
    particular bicycle paths, pedestrian paths and parklands. No roads are
    affected at this stage.



    At Coldstream, the water level in the Yarra River is currently at 4.30m,
    which is still above the minor flood level of 4.0m, and falling.



    At Yarra Glen, the river level is now at the Moderate Flood Level of
    4.5m, and falling slowly.

    Reissued to update warning.

    The Murray River at Corowa peaked at 3.83 metres Wednesday afternoon and has
    now fallen below minor flood level.

    The Murray River flood peak from Yarrawonga is expected to arrive at Tocumwal
    on Friday causing some minor rural flooding. Forecasts for Tocumwal and

    level rise.

    Tocumwal - peak near 6.5 metres Friday with minor rural flooding

    Deniliquin - reach 6.0 metres around 19/9/10 with minor rural flooding

    Echuca / Moama - reach 94 metres (AHD) around 15/9/10 with moderate rural
    flooding - note river levels will be close to the peak
    for several days before the maximum level is recorded.

    Barham - reach 5.9 metres around 19/9/10 with moderate rural flooding

    In the interests of community safety the SES suggests following precautions:
    * Don't walk, ride or drive through floodwater,
    * Don't allow children to play in floodwater,
    * Stay away from waterways and stormwater drains, and
    * Keep well clear of fallen power lines

    Contact the SES on 132 500, if emergency assistance is required.
    Current Road and Traffic Information can be obtained from the VicRoads website:
    http://www.vicroads.vic.gov.au/trafficalerts

    Weather Forecast:
    A weakening cold front will cross western Victoria during Thursday before
    slipping away southwards. A stronger cold front will approach Victoria Thursday
    night and will sweep across the State on Friday morning. A high pressure system
    will move across South Australia and New South Wales during the weekend and
    will stay well to the north of Victoria. The next cold front will approach
