Where this tide comes from
Qingshancun has no tide station nearby: its tide is calculated with the global FES2022 model, from the nearest model cells offshore (the first one 1.3 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 Qingshancun
Sea stateSea state: slight
The waves you may find
- Most commonMost common1.3 ft
- Significant2.6 ft
- Highest expectedHighest5.5 ft
One wave in seven is higher than the significant height, and about 3 times a day one reaches 5.5 ft. Before heading out, expect waves of up to 5.5 ft.
Wind on the coast and offshore
Cross-shore wind. The coast faces southeast and the wind blows along the shore: drift and current run parallel to the beach.
Wave height, next 7 daysWaves, next 7 days
Waves build over the next few days. The biggest waves arrive on Sunday 1: 4.4 ft with a period of 5 s, from the southeast (moderate).
Water temperature
Water temperature →Water temperature changes how fish behave: in very cold or very warm water they feed less. The water cools over the next few days: about 67.1 °F by Wednesday 4.
Water warmer than normal for late October (+2.7 °F).

Surf in Qingshancun today
Surf today
Poor- 1.1–1.7 ft surf at the shore, small: good for learning or a longboard
- 1.6 ft swell at 4 s from the south-southwest, short: weak, messy waves
- Light offshore wind (9 mph): it holds up and grooms the waves
- Falling tide (high tide at 6:01 pm)
- Light: First light 5:50 am · sunrise 6:17 am · sunset 5:05 pm · last light 5:31 pm
- Tide: low 12:05 am (-3.6 ft), high 5:10 am (5.2 ft), low 12:17 pm (-6.2 ft) and high 6:01 pm (5.4 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 68.7 °F: a springsuit or a 2 mm fullsuit.
- Energy: 10 kJ · Low power
Today’s surf at a glance
The best window, 11:00 am to 3:00 pm, has light offshore wind, though with small waves and 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.

- Water at 68.7 °F: a 5 mm wetsuit.
- Snorkeling: doable, with some waves or wind.
- Night dive: dark from 5:31 pm. Waning gibbous (88%), rising at 7:16 pm: a bright night.
Your diving day at a glance
The best window, 1:30 pm to 2:30 pm, combines light wind, weak current and the sun high, though with tidal current. Also worth a look from 5:50 am to 7:30 am, with light wind and weak current, though with tidal 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- 1:01–3:01 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity
- 1:33–3:33 pm Major · the moon passes underfoot · high activity
- 9:19–10:19 am Minor · moonset · medium activity
- 6:46–7:46 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
Deepens quicklyThe bottom deepens quickly: 33 ft of water 0.25 mi from shore.

How far from shore
- 16 ft deep1,200 ft
- 33 ft deep0.25 mi
- 66 ft deep1.1 mi
- 164 ft deepnot within 3.1 mi
For fishing, swimming and diving
- Shore fishing. 33 ft of water just 0.25 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. 33 ft deep 0.25 mi from shore; 66 ft is far out (1.1 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). The profile is turned slightly from the coast so it does not run into an island or a headland.
