TOSC Dates and Tides
Why the following dates and tides?Some anglers like early morning lows, some like early morning highs, some like big tides, some like small tides, some like medium tides, some like night fishing and some don't, etc. It's impossible to please everyone. Following the feedback survey in 2025, the TOSC committee have made a change in start and finish time. Fishing will start at 10 am on Wednesday 4th November and finish at 5pm Saturday the 7th of November.
Why November?There are no other major surf casting competitions on at that time. Many of the organizing committee attend other events, from February to April and have not got the time to commit to a competition at that time. There's a lot of work that goes on behind the scenes and unfortunately there is no magic wand.
TidesThe approximate Taranaki tides have been included, in the hope they may be useful. They are not certified to be correct and should not be used for navigation. The author and the Taranaki Open Surfcasting Challenge organizing committee assume no liability for damages arising from the use of these tidal predictions.
