Where this tide comes from
Shatian has no tide station nearby: its tide is calculated with the global FES2022 model, from the nearest model cells offshore (the first one 1.2 mi away). It may differ from the real tide by a few minutes and inches, and more with wind or storms. Heights are above mean sea level, not chart datum, so low tides are negative. Not for navigation.
Model attribution: FES2022 Tide was produced by LEGOS, NOVELTIS and CLS, funded by CNES, and distributed by AVISO (https://doi.org/10.24400/527896/a01-2024.004), AVISO licence (https://www.aviso.altimetry.fr/fileadmin/documents/data/License_Aviso.pdf). Modified by TidePlanet: constants interpolated from the nearest model cells offshore; heights above mean sea level.
The sea at Shatian
Sea stateSea state: smooth
The waves you may find
- Most commonMost common0.7 ft
- Significant1.3 ft
- Highest expectedHighest2.9 ft
One wave in seven is higher than the significant height, and about 3 times a day one reaches 2.9 ft. Before heading out, expect waves of up to 2.9 ft.
Wind on the coast and offshore
Cross-offshore wind. The coast faces south 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 Saturday 31: 1.9 ft with a period of 3 s, from the 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.

Moon phase and position
Today the moon is 226,493 mi away and looks 32′ 46″ across.
Solunar periods
Today's activity: medium- 1:47–3:47 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity
- 2:19–4:19 pm Major · the moon passes underfoot · high activity
- 9:21–10:21 am Minor · moonset · medium activity
- 8:16–9:16 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.

For fishing, swimming and diving
- Shore fishing. 33 ft of water just 0.3 mi from shore: a good cast reaches deep water. 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. Shore diving works here: 33 ft at 0.3 mi and 66 ft at 0.7 mi from shore.
Rough estimate: here the data comes in cells of about 0.3 mi and misses details near shore (rocks, sandbars, small coves).
Source: NOAA ETOPO 2022 (CC0), cells of about 0.3 mi; depth below mean sea level. For reference only: not for navigation or anchoring.
