Mumbai (Apollo Bunder), Maharashtra tide times

Predictions: Open-Meteo Marine (MeteoFrance SMOC, 0.08° grid) — heights relative to MSL (not chart datum / LAT). Model-derived.

Model-derived from a global ocean grid. Useful indication; expect about ±45 minutes on average vs. a local harmonic gauge, individual stations vary widely. See /methodology for per-region detail. Not for navigation.

The angler tradition for major/minor fishing windows: major ≈3-hour windows around moon transit and opposition; minor ≈2-hour windows around moonrise and moonset. Times are Asia/Kolkata local. Folk tradition, not a scientific forecast.

Next spring tide on Mon 18 May (range 4.6m). Last neap on Sat 16 May. Next neap on Fri 22 May.

Spring tides cluster around new and full moons (biggest swings). Neap tides land on quarter moons (smallest swings). See the spring tide and neap tide glossary entries for the why.

Mumbai sits on a long south-pointing peninsula on India's west coast, with the Apollo Bunder reference gauge near the Gateway of India at the harbour mouth on the eastern bay-facing shore, and the open Arabian Sea on the western side from Marine Drive south through Worli Sea Face and on to the long sand at Juhu and Versova. The tide here is one of the larger ranges on the Indian subcontinent and the largest on India's west coast. The pattern at the Apollo Bunder gauge is cleanly semidiurnal — two highs and two lows of comparable size about twelve and a half hours apart — with a mean range of about 2.4 metres, climbing past 4.5 metres on the largest spring tides and dropping near 1.5 on neaps. That dramatic spring-neap asymmetry is part of the local fishing rhythm and the Koli community on Versova Beach and at Sassoon Dock reads it for the boat-launch and beach-haul windows that have run by the moon for centuries before the railways arrived. The defining seasonal force is the south-west monsoon from June through September, which runs hard onshore winds against the coast and lifts apparent water levels well above predicted by stacking surge against the harbour mouth — the spring tide and monsoon high tide together can flood the low-lying streets near Marine Lines and the Worli sea-link approaches. Beach widths at Juhu, Aksa, and Madh change visibly across each cycle. Bandra Bandstand's tide-pool ledges and the rocky intertidal at Worli Fort open up on the lowest spring lows for hours either side. Open-Meteo Marine drives the gridded predictions on this page; for authoritative Indian tide data, the Survey of India and the Indian National Centre for Ocean Information Services (INCOIS) publish the official tide tables. Tropical-cyclone season runs late summer through autumn and surge events can override the harmonic signal entirely.
