↓ Falling The tide is falling. 14 min to low tide at 7:55 am.
Tide coefficient 89 for the 1:40 am high tide and 87 for the 2:32 pm high tide. Average coefficient. The water rises and falls 18.2 ft between the highest high and the lowest low: a large range for this place. 70 is an average tide here; 90 and above means spring tides; below 45, neap tides. What is the tide coefficient?
2026 extremes: the highest tide of the year is on October 27 (20.6 ft) and the lowest, on June 16 (0.5 ft).
Mixed: two high and two low tides a day, but of quite different heights.
Heights above TLT. Astronomical prediction: wind and air pressure can raise or lower the water by a few inches, and more in a storm. Not for navigation. TLT
Tide coefficient and range in October
The biggest tides of the month came from October 26 to 28 (coefficient 92, 18.5 ft range). The smallest, from October 19 to 20 (coefficient 41, 9.3 ft).

Where this tide comes from
Wuyu has no station of its own, so we use the tide at Xiamen (TICON-4), 9.3 mi away. On the open coast the difference is usually a few minutes and inches; inside estuaries, rivers and enclosed bays it can be much larger.

The sea at Wuyu
Sea stateSea state: slight
The waves you may find
- Most commonMost common1.2 ft
- Significant2.4 ft
- Highest expectedHighest5.0 ft
One wave in seven is higher than the significant height, and about 3 times a day one reaches 5.0 ft. Before heading out, expect waves of up to 5.0 ft.
Wind on the coast and offshore
Cross-offshore wind. The coast faces southeast and the wind comes off the land at an angle: calmer water near the shore, and bait and boats drift out to sea.
Wave height, next 7 daysWaves, next 7 days
Waves stay much the same all week. The biggest waves arrive on Tuesday 3: 4.4 ft with a period of 6 s, from the east-northeast (moderate).
Water temperature
Water temperature →Water temperature changes how fish behave: in very cold or very warm water they feed less. The water is steady these days, with no sudden changes.
Water warmer than normal for late October (+3.4 °F).

Surf in Wuyu today
Surf today
Poor- 1.5–2.3 ft surf at the shore, a fun size for most surfers
- 2.4 ft swell at 5 s from the east-northeast, short: weak, messy waves
- Light offshore wind (9 mph): it holds up and grooms the waves
- Falling tide (low tide at 7:55 am)
- Light: First light 5:49 am · sunrise 6:12 am · sunset 5:30 pm · last light 5:53 pm
- Tide: high 1:40 am (19.6 ft), low 7:55 am (2.0 ft), high 2:32 pm (20.2 ft) and low 8:20 pm (6.9 ft). Every break has its own tide: some work at low tide and others at high tide. The tide doesn’t change the score here.
- Water at 77.4 °F: boardshorts or a swimsuit and a rash guard.
- Energy: 25 kJ · Low power
Today’s surf at a glance
The best window, 6:00 am to 10:00 am, has light offshore wind, though with a short-period swell.
An estimate for this stretch of coast, not for a specific break: every beach or reef works its own way (its tide, bottom and angle). Check it when you get there.
Follow the flags and the lifeguards, and don’t paddle out if the surf is above your level: this score is a guide, not a substitute for what you see when you get there.
Diving in Wuyu today
Diving and snorkeling today
Likely visibility: good- Slack water around high tide (2:32 pm): little current from 2:17 pm to 2:50 pm
- 1.7 ft swell at 5 s from the east-northeast: some surge on the bottom
- Light onshore wind (6 mph)
- 1.3 mph current toward the southwest, strong (model)
- Sun high: more light underwater
- Slack water today: high tide 1:40 am (1:20–2:00 am), low tide 7:55 am (7:20–8:20 am), high tide 2:32 pm (2:17–2:50 pm) and low tide 8:20 pm (7:20–8:50 pm)
- Likely visibility: good. Swell (up to 4.0 ft at 6 s) over the last few days has stirred up the water. Based on the last 24 hours of data.
- Water at 77.4 °F: a 3 mm wetsuit.
- Snorkeling: better not, with these waves, wind or current.
- Night dive: dark from 5:53 pm. Waning gibbous (88%), rising at 8:03 pm: a bright night.
Your diving day at a glance
The best window, 1:50 pm to 3:00 pm, combines slack water at high tide, light wind and the sun high, though with current. Also worth a look from 10:30 am to 11:30 am, with light wind, weak current and the sun high, though with tidal current. Also worth a look from 6:50 am to 8:40 am, with slack water at low tide and light wind, though with current.
Slack water comes from the tide: in inlets, channels and between islands the water can keep running for an hour or two after. Ask the local dive shop.
Never dive alone and check with the local dive shop: this rating is a guide, not a substitute for a professional.

Moon phase and position
Today the moon is 226,493 mi away and looks 32′ 46″ across.
Solunar periods
Today's activity: medium- 1:12–3:12 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity

- 8:53–9:53 am Minor · moonset · medium activity
- 7:33–8:33 pm Minor · moonrise · medium activity
According to solunar theory, fish feed more when the moon passes overhead or underfoot (major periods, about 2 h) and when it rises or sets (minor periods, 1 h). It works best around new and full moon.

Water depth

- 33 ft deep750 ft
- 66 ft deep1 mi
- 164 ft deepnot within 3.1 mi
For fishing, swimming and diving
- Shore fishing. Deep water close in: about 7.2 ft just 330 ft out. Good for casting from rocks, jetties or the beach itself; current and surf hit harder here.
- Swimming. The water gets deeper little by little, but a few dozen yards out you can no longer stand.
- Diving. 33 ft deep 750 ft from shore; 66 ft is far out (1 mi): for deeper dives, go by boat.
Rough estimate: here the data comes in cells of about 0.3 mi and misses details near shore (rocks, sandbars, small coves).
