Where this tide comes from
Pengkalan Chepa has no station of its own, so we use the tide at Geting (TICON-4), 13 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.

Wind on the coast and offshore
Offshore wind. The coast faces north and the wind blows from land out to sea: calm shore and clean waves, but watch the drift out to sea.

Waves stay much the same all week. The biggest waves arrive on Friday 30: 1.6 ft with a period of 4 s, from the east-northeast (smooth).
Water temperature

Surf in Pengkalan Chepa today
Surf today
Poor- 1.0–1.5 ft surf at the shore, small: good for learning or a longboard
- 1.3 ft swell at 5 s from the east-northeast, short: weak, messy waves

- Rising tide (high tide at 9:53 am)
- Light: First light 6:36 am · sunrise 6:57 am · sunset 6:52 pm · last light 7:13 pm
- Tide: low 6:26 am (2.5 ft), high 9:53 am (2.8 ft), low 3:39 pm (1.5 ft) and high 11:36 pm (5.0 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 86.2 °F–87.8 °F: boardshorts or a swimsuit and a rash guard.
- Energy: 6 kJ · Low power
Today’s surf at a glance
The best window, 7:00 am to 11:00 am, has glassy water, 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.

Your diving day at a glance
The best window, 9:30 am to 10:30 am, combines slack water at high tide, little swell, light wind, weak current and the sun high. Also worth a look from 7:00 am to 7:40 am, with little swell and light wind, though with 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- 2:18–4:18 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity
- 2:50–4:50 pm Major · the moon passes underfoot · high activity
- 9:17–10:17 am Minor · moonset · medium activity
- 9:23–10:23 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 0.45 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 2 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).
