Where this tide comes from
Chengqiao has no tide station nearby: its tide is calculated with the global EOT20 model, from the nearest model cells offshore (the first one 1.1 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.

The waves you may find
- Most commonMost common0.2 ft
- Significant0.3 ft
- Highest expectedHighest0.7 ft
One wave in seven is higher than the significant height, and about 3 times a day one reaches 0.7 ft. Before heading out, expect waves of up to 0.7 ft.
Wind on the coast and offshore
Cross-onshore wind. The coast faces southwest 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 build over the next few days. The biggest waves arrive on Sunday 1: 1.6 ft with a period of 3 s, from the south-southeast (smooth).
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 68.1 °F by Wednesday 4.
Water warmer than normal for late October (+2.9 °F).

Solunar periods
Today's activity: medium- 12:58–2:58 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity

- 9:01–10:01 am Minor · moonset · medium activity
- 6:58–7:58 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.
