The sea at Beihai
Sea stateSea state: smooth
The waves you may find
- Most commonMost common0.5 ft
- Significant0.9 ft
- Highest expectedHighest2.0 ft
One wave in seven is higher than the significant height, and about 3 times a day one reaches 2.0 ft. Before heading out, expect waves of up to 2.0 ft.
Wind on the coast and offshore
Offshore wind. The coast faces west and the wind blows from land out to sea: calm shore and clean waves, but watch the drift out to sea.
Wave height, next 7 daysWaves, next 7 days
Waves stay much the same all week. The biggest waves arrive on Sunday 1: 1.9 ft with a period of 4 s, from the south-southeast (slight).
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.

The moon in Beihai
Moon phase and position
Today the moon is 226,493 mi away and looks 32′ 46″ across.
Solunar periods
Today's activity: medium- 1:49–3:49 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity
- 2:22–4:22 pm Major · the moon passes underfoot · high activity
- 9:24–10:24 am Minor · moonset · medium activity
- 8:19–9:19 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.
