Where this tide comes from
Wo Che has no station of its own, so we use the tide at Hong Kong (TICON-4), 6.4 mi away. On the open coast the difference is usually a few minutes and inches; inside estuaries, rivers and enclosed bays it can be much larger.

The sea at Wo Che
Sea stateSea state: slight
The waves you may find
- Most commonMost common1.1 ft
- Significant2.3 ft
- Highest expectedHighest4.7 ft
One wave in seven is higher than the significant height, and about 3 times a day one reaches 4.7 ft. Before heading out, expect waves of up to 4.7 ft.
Wind on the coast and offshore
Onshore wind. The coast faces east and the wind blows straight in from the sea: more surf and backwash at the shore, and bait and boats drift toward land.
Wave height, next 7 daysWaves, next 7 days
Waves stay much the same all week. The biggest waves arrive on Thursday 29: 2.8 ft with a period of 6 s, from the east (slight).

Your diving day at a glance
The best window, 1:40 pm to 4:40 pm, combines slack water at low tide, little swell, light wind, weak current and the sun high. Also worth a look from 9:10 am to 10:20 am, with light wind, weak current and the sun high, 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.

Moon phase and position
Today the moon is 226,493 mi away and looks 32′ 46″ across.
Solunar periods
Today's activity: medium- 1:28–3:28 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity
- 2:00–4:00 pm Major · the moon passes underfoot · high activity
- 9:05–10:05 am Minor · moonset · medium activity
- 7:55–8:55 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.
