  • ▼ Low tide 10:36 pm -1.3 ft

↓ Falling The tide is falling. 19 min to low tide at 12:07 pm.

Tide coefficient 100 for the 4:42 am high tide and 94 for the 5:19 pm high tide. Big spring tides. The water rises and falls 4.6 ft between the highest high and the lowest low: a large range for this place. 70 is an average tide here; 90 and above means spring tides; below 45, neap tides. What is the tide coefficient?

2026 extremes: the highest tide of the year is on December 26 (3.3 ft) and the lowest, on May 17 (-2.1 ft).

Mixed: two high and two low tides a day, but of quite different heights.

Heights above mean sea level. Astronomical prediction: wind and air pressure can raise or lower the water by a few inches, and more in a storm. Not for navigation. mean sea level

Where this tide comes from

M · Global model

Singkawang has no tide station nearby: its tide is calculated with the global FES2022 model, from the nearest model cells offshore (the first one 3.6 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.

Sea and waves

The sea at Singkawang

7-day waves

Sea stateSea state: calm (rippled)

Calm (rippled) Douglas 1 · light breeze, Beaufort 2
Waves 0.3 ft · 4.3 s from the north-northwest (348°)
Swell 0.1 ft · 4.3 s from the north-northwest
Current 2.1 mph toward the N

The waves you may find

  • Most commonMost common0.1 ft
  • Significant0.3 ft
  • Highest expectedHighest0.6 ft

One wave in seven is higher than the significant height, and about 3 times a day one reaches 0.6 ft. Before heading out, expect waves of up to 0.6 ft.

Wind on the coast and offshore

On the coast 3 mph SW · gusts 18
Offshore (17 mi WNW)Offshore 7 mph SW · gusts 12

Cross-onshore wind. The coast faces west 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 Friday 30: 0.6 ft with a period of 2 s, from the southwest (smooth).

Water temperature

Water now88.5 °F
Today 88.0–88.5 °F air: 73 / 85 °F
Satellite (2 days ago) 84.7 °F measured 1.9 mi away

The satellite measured 3.8 °F less 2 days ago than the model gives now: the water is probably colder than the forecast says.

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.

Water warmer than normal for late October (+3.1 °F).

The best window, 5:04 am to 9:00 am, has glassy water, though with barely any waves.

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.

Your diving day at a glance

The best window, 4:30 pm to 5:50 pm, combines slack water at high tide, little swell and light wind, though with current. Also worth a look from 6:30 am to 8:30 am, with little swell, 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.

Solunar periods

Today's activity: medium
  • 12:50–2:50 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity

  • 7:37–8:37 am Minor · moonset · medium activity
  • 8:07–9:07 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

Very shallow

Very shallow and flat: 3.1 mi from shore the water is still only about 27 ft deep.

From the shoreline (1.8 mi from Singkawang) out to sea, heading west.

How far from shore

  • 16 ft deep2.4 mi
  • 33 ft deepnot within 3.1 mi
  • 66 ft deepnot within 3.1 mi
  • 164 ft deepnot within 3.1 mi

For fishing, swimming and diving

  • Shore fishing. Shallow, gradual bottom (16 ft at 2.4 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: the water doesn't reach 33 ft within 3.1 mi. For deeper dives, take a boat farther out.

Rough estimate: here the data comes in cells of about 0.3 mi and misses details near shore (rocks, sandbars, small coves).
