Where this tide comes from
Tanjung Piandang has no station of its own, so we use the tide at Penang (TICON-4), 24 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.

Surf in Tanjung Piandang today
Surf today
Poor- 1.1–1.7 ft surf at the shore, small: good for learning or a longboard
- 1.8 ft swell at 5 s from the west-northwest, short: weak, messy waves
- Light offshore wind (6 mph): it holds up and grooms the waves
- Falling tide (low tide at 9:17 am)
- Light: First light 6:42 am · sunrise 7:04 am · sunset 7:01 pm · last light 7:22 pm
- Tide: high 2:13 am (9.5 ft), low 9:17 am (1.8 ft), high 2:47 pm (7.9 ft) and low 9:09 pm (3.1 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 86.5 °F–88.0 °F: boardshorts or a swimsuit and a rash guard.
- Energy: 12 kJ · Low power
Today’s surf at a glance
The best window, 8:00 am to 10:00 am, has light offshore wind, though with a short-period swell. 12:00 pm to 4:00 pm can also work, with glassy water, though with 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.
Diving in Tanjung Piandang today
Diving and snorkeling today
Likely visibility: fair- Slack water around high tide (2:47 pm): little current from 2:30 pm to 3:10 pm
- 1.6 ft swell at 4 s from the west-northwest: some surge on the bottom
- Almost no wind
- 1.1 mph current toward the south-southeast (model)

- Likely visibility: fair. Swell (up to 3.0 ft at 5 s) and rain (0.79 in) over the last few days have stirred up the water. Based on the last 24 hours of data.
- Water at 86.5–88.0 °F: a shorty or a rash guard.
- Snorkeling: doable, with some waves or wind.
- Night dive: dark from 7:22 pm. Waning gibbous (88%), rising at 10:04 pm: a bright night.
Your diving day at a glance
The best window, 2:10 pm to 5:10 pm, combines slack water at high tide, light wind and the sun high, though with current. Also worth a look from 11:30 am to 12:30 pm, with light wind, weak current and the sun high, though with tidal current. Also worth a look from 8:40 am to 9:30 am, with slack water at low tide 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.

Solunar periods
Today's activity: medium- 2:26–4:26 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity

- 9:22–10:22 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.

For fishing, swimming and diving
- Shore fishing. Shallow, gradual bottom (16 ft at 2.9 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).
