The water rises and falls 7.0 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 October 27 (8.4 ft) and the lowest, on August 13 (0.2 ft).

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

Heights above chart datum: the lowest astronomical tide (LAT), the zero of nautical charts in Europe. Astronomical prediction: wind and air pressure can raise or lower the water by a few inches, and more in a storm. Not for navigation. chart datum (LAT)

Tide coefficient and range in October

The biggest tides of the month came from October 26 to 28 (coefficient 99, 7.3 ft range). The smallest, from October 19 to 20 (coefficient 23, 2.7 ft).

Where this tide comes from

B · Nearby station

Kuala Sungai Baru has no station of its own, so we use the tide at Tanjung Keling (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.

How we calculate the tide

Sea and waves

The sea at Kuala Sungai Baru

7-day waves

Sea stateSea state: smooth

Smooth Douglas 2 · gentle breeze, Beaufort 3
Waves 0.5 ft · 5.1 s from the northwest (304°)
Swell 0.5 ft · 4.5 s from the northwest
Current 1.5 mph toward the SE

The waves you may find

  • Most commonMost common0.3 ft
  • Significant0.5 ft
  • Highest expectedHighest1.1 ft

One wave in seven is higher than the significant height, and about 3 times a day one reaches 1.1 ft. Before heading out, expect waves of up to 1.1 ft.

Wind on the coast and offshore

On the coast 4 mph SE · gusts 7
Offshore (7.9 mi SSW)Offshore 11 mph E · gusts 19

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.

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 (+2.5 °F).

Today’s surf at a glance

The best window, 9:00 am to 1:00 pm, 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.

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 11:20 am, combines slack water at high tide, little swell, light wind and the sun high, 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.

Never dive alone and check with the local dive shop: this rating is a guide, not a substitute for a professional.

Solunar periods

Today's activity: medium

  • 9:09–10:09 am Minor · moonset · 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

Shallow, gradual

Shallow, gradual bottom: you need to go 1.1 mi out for 33 ft of water.

From the shoreline (0.4 mi from Kuala Sungai Baru) out to sea, heading southwest.

How far from shore

  • 16 ft deep0.6 mi
  • 33 ft deep1.1 mi
  • 66 ft deep2.8 mi
  • 164 ft deepnot within 3.1 mi

For fishing, swimming and diving

  • Shore fishing. Shallow, gradual bottom (16 ft at 0.6 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 1.1 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).
