Today's high and low tides

- ▲ Next high tide 9:40 am 7.3 ft · coef. 98
- ▼ Low tide 4:04 pm 1.7 ft
↑ Rising The tide is rising. 2 h 47 min to high tide at 9:40 am.
Tide coefficient 98 for the 9:40 am high tide. Spring tides. The water rises and falls 5.6 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 January 4 (12.7 ft) and the lowest, on June 17 (0.1 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 27 to 28 (coefficient 102, 9.7 ft range). The smallest, from October 19 to 20 (coefficient 28, 5.0 ft).

Where this tide comes from
Kuantan has no station of its own, so we use the tide at Kuantan (TICON-4), 14 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 Kuantan
Sea stateSea state: smooth
The waves you may find
- Most commonMost common0.7 ft
- Significant1.4 ft
- Highest expectedHighest2.8 ft
One wave in seven is higher than the significant height, and about 3 times a day one reaches 2.8 ft. Before heading out, expect waves of up to 2.8 ft.
Wind on the coast and offshore
Cross-offshore wind. The coast faces east and the wind comes off the land at an angle: calmer water near the shore, and bait and boats drift out to sea.
Wave height, next 7 daysWaves, next 7 days
Waves stay much the same all week. The biggest waves arrive on Thursday 29: 1.4 ft with a period of 6 s, from the northeast (smooth).
Water temperature
Water temperature →Water temperature changes how fish behave: in very cold or very warm water they feed less. The water warms over the next few days: about 87.6 °F by Wednesday 4.
Water warmer than normal for late October (+1.8 °F).

Surf in Kuantan today
Surf today
Poor- 1.0–1.5 ft surf at the shore, small: good for learning or a longboard
- 1.4 ft swell at 5 s from the northeast, short: weak, messy waves
- Almost no wind (4 mph): glassy water
- Rising tide (high tide at 12:01 am)
- Light: First light 6:29 am · sunrise 6:51 am · sunset 6:50 pm · last light 7:11 pm
- Tide: low 5:40 am (6.0 ft), high 9:40 am (7.3 ft) and low 4:04 pm (1.7 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 85.6 °F–87.4 °F: boardshorts or a swimsuit and a rash guard.
- Energy: 8 kJ · Low power
Today’s surf at a glance
The best window, 3:00 pm to 7:00 pm, 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 11:10 am, combines slack water at high tide, little swell, light wind and the sun high, though with current. Also worth a look from 3:30 pm to 4:30 pm, with slack water at low tide, 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.
Never dive alone and check with the local dive shop: this rating is a guide, not a substitute for a professional.

Moon phase and position
Today the moon is 226,493 mi away and looks 32′ 46″ across.
Solunar periods
Today's activity: medium- 2:13–4:13 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity

- 9:07–10:07 am Minor · moonset · medium activity
- 9:24–10:24 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. About 11 ft of water 330 ft out: long casts help, and so does a rising tide, which brings fish closer in.
- Swimming. The bottom drops quickly near the shore and you are soon out of your depth. Keep an eye on kids and weak swimmers.
- 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).
