Where this tide comes from
Zhangzi has no tide station nearby: its tide is calculated with the global FES2022 model, from the nearest model cells offshore (the first one 1.6 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 Zhangzi
Sea stateSea state: moderate
The waves you may find
- Most commonMost common2.4 ft
- Significant4.7 ft
- Highest expectedHighest9.9 ft
One wave in seven is higher than the significant height, and about 3 times a day one reaches 9.9 ft. Before heading out, expect waves of up to 9.9 ft.
Wind on the coast and offshore
The model doesn't separate offshore wind here: it's the same as on the coast.
Cross-onshore wind. The coast faces south and the wind comes in from the sea at an angle: a bit more surf at the shore and drift along the coast, toward land.
Wave height, next 7 daysWaves, next 7 days
Waves stay much the same all week. The biggest waves arrive on Sunday 1: 5.1 ft with a period of 5 s, from the southwest (moderate).
Water temperature

- Tide: low 4:55 am (-5.3 ft), high 10:32 am (3.5 ft), low 4:40 pm (-6.1 ft) and high 11:08 pm (7.2 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 63.0 °F: a 3/2 fullsuit.
- Energy: 79 kJ · Low power
Today’s surf at a glance
The best window, 6:00 am to 10:00 am, has a good size, though with a short-period swell, wind swell and onshore wind.
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 Zhangzi today
Diving and snorkeling today
Likely visibility: good- Slack water around low tide (4:40 pm): little current from 4:20 pm to 5:00 pm
- 2.0 ft swell at 5 s from the southwest: some surge on the bottom
- Moderate cross-shore wind (18 mph)
- 2.0 mph current toward the east, strong (model)
- Daylight
Not a day for shore diving: swell, wind, current or storms during the best window. If you go, go with a dive shop and only if they give the OK.
- Slack water today: low tide 4:55 am (4:40–5:10 am), high tide 10:32 am (10:00–11:00 am), low tide 4:40 pm (4:20–5:00 pm) and high tide 11:08 pm (10:40–11:30 pm)
- Likely visibility: good. Rain (0.26 in) over the last few days has stirred up the water. Based on the last 24 hours of data.
- Water at 63.0 °F: a 7 mm wetsuit, with hood and booties.
- Snorkeling: better not, with these waves, wind or current.
- Night dive: dark from 5:20 pm. Waning gibbous (88%), rising at 6:56 pm: a bright night.
Your diving day at a glance
The best window, 3:40 pm to 4:50 pm, lines up with slack water at low tide, though with moderate wind and current. Also worth a look from 9:40 am to 11:30 am, with slack water at high tide and the sun high, though with waves, strong wind and 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- 12:52–2:52 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity
- 1:25–3:25 pm Major · the moon passes underfoot · high activity
- 9:21–10:21 am Minor · moonset · medium activity
- 6:26–7:26 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. Shallow, gradual bottom (16 ft at 0.5 mi): cast far from the beach and fish the high tide, when there is more water close in.
- Swimming. A very gentle way in with plenty of shallow water, good for kids. At low tide the water can be far out.
- Diving. Shallow near shore: you only reach 33 ft at 0.65 mi. For dives deeper than 33 ft, 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).
