Where this tide comes from
Bukit Jambul has no station of its own, so we use the tide at Penang (TICON-4), 7.3 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.

Waves stay much the same all week. The biggest waves arrive on Thursday 29: 1.7 ft with a period of 5 s, from the west-northwest (slight).

Your diving day at a glance
The best window, 2:00 pm to 4:00 pm, combines slack water at high tide, little swell, light wind and the sun high, though with current. Also worth a look from 5:00 pm to 7:00 pm, 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.
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- 2:26–4:26 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity

- 9:23–10:23 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.
