What is the tide coefficient?
2026 extremes: the highest tide of the year is on December 26 (1.4 ft) and the lowest, on December 25 (-0.1 ft).
Mixed: two high and two low tides a day, but of quite different heights.

Where this tide comes from
Songdowon has no station of its own, so we use the tide at Wonsan (KHOA), 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 northeast and the wind blows from land out to sea: calm shore and clean waves, but watch the drift out to sea.
Wave height, next 7 daysWaves, next 7 days
Waves stay much the same all week. The biggest waves arrive on Saturday 31: 1.4 ft with a period of 3 s, from the west (smooth).
Water temperature
Water temperature →Water temperature changes how fish behave: in very cold or very warm water they feed less. The water cools over the next few days: about 59.4 °F by Wednesday 4.
Water warmer than normal for late October (+1.4 °F).

Your diving day at a glance
The best window, 10:30 am to 12:10 pm, combines slack water at low tide, little swell, light wind, weak current and the sun high. Also good from 4:40 pm to 6:00 pm, with slack water at high tide, little swell, light wind and weak 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 226,480 mi away and looks 32′ 46″ across.
Solunar periods
Today's activity: medium- 1:33–3:33 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity
- 2:05–4:05 pm Major · the moon passes underfoot · high activity
- 10:02–11:02 am Minor · moonset · medium activity
- 7:06–8:06 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.
