According to details on Tide Forcast's website, High tide of about 4.69 meter expected at around 12:35 pm & low tide of about 1.58 meter expected at 06:34 pm today.

High tides occur due to the gravitational pull between the earth and the moon. Locals have been warned not to venture anywhere close to the beaches during the high tide timings.
