The water rises and falls 1.3 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 June 16 (0.8 ft) and the lowest, on December 25 (-0.8 ft).
Mixed: two high and two low tides a day, but of quite different heights.
Heights above mean sea level. Astronomical prediction: wind and air pressure can raise or lower the water by a few inches, and more in a storm. Not for navigation. mean sea level

Where this tide comes from
Hwadae has no tide station nearby: its tide is calculated with the global FES2022 model, from the nearest model cells offshore (the first one 3.2 mi away). It may differ from the real tide by a few minutes and inches, and more with wind or storms. Heights are above mean sea level, not chart datum, so low tides are negative. Not for navigation.
Model attribution: FES2022 Tide was produced by LEGOS, NOVELTIS and CLS, funded by CNES, and distributed by AVISO (https://doi.org/10.24400/527896/a01-2024.004), AVISO licence (https://www.aviso.altimetry.fr/fileadmin/documents/data/License_Aviso.pdf). Modified by TidePlanet: constants interpolated from the nearest model cells offshore; heights above mean sea level.
The sea at Hwadae
Sea stateSea state: moderate
The waves you may find
- Most commonMost common3.0 ft
- Significant6.0 ft
- Highest expectedHighest12 ft
One wave in seven is higher than the significant height, and about 3 times a day one reaches 12 ft. Before heading out, expect waves of up to 12 ft.
Wind on the coast and offshore
Cross-onshore wind. The coast faces south 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.
Wave height, next 7 daysWaves, next 7 days
Waves ease over the next few days. The biggest waves arrive on Thursday 29: 6.0 ft with a period of 5 s, from the southwest (moderate).
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 57.1 °F by Wednesday 4.
Water warmer than normal for late October (+3.6 °F).

Surf in Hwadae today
Surf today
Poor- 1.8–2.8 ft surf at the shore, a fun size for most surfers
- 2.6 ft swell at 5 s from the south-southwest, short: weak, messy waves
- Almost no wind (3 mph): glassy water
- First or last light of the day
- Falling tide (low tide at 11:21 am)
- Light: First light 6:20 am · sunrise 6:49 am · sunset 5:22 pm · last light 5:51 pm
- Tide: high 3:40 am (0.6 ft), low 11:21 am (-0.7 ft), high 6:27 pm (0.2 ft) and low 10:22 pm (0.1 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 60.6 °F: a 4/3 fullsuit.
- Energy: 27 kJ · Low power
Today’s surf at a glance
The best window, 6:20 am to 10:00 am, has 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 Hwadae today
Diving and snorkeling today
Likely visibility: good- Slack water around low tide (11:21 am): little current from 11:06 am to 11:40 am
- 4.6 ft waves: careful getting in and out
- Light onshore wind (10 mph)
- 0.6 mph current toward the northeast (model)
- Sun high: more light underwater
- Slack water today: high tide 3:40 am (3:20–4:00 am), low tide 11:21 am (11:06–11:40 am), high tide 6:27 pm (5:50–7:30 pm) and low tide 10:22 pm (9:20–11:00 pm)
- Likely visibility: good. Swell (up to 2.8 ft at 5 s) over the last few days has stirred up the water. Based on the last 24 hours of data.
- Water at 60.6 °F: a 7 mm wetsuit, with hood and booties.
- Snorkeling: better not, with these waves, wind or current.
- Night dive: dark from 5:51 pm. Waning gibbous (88%), rising at 7:21 pm: a bright night.
Your diving day at a glance
The best window, 10:40 am to 11:40 am, combines slack water at low tide, light wind and the sun high, though with waves and current. Also worth a look from 6:50 am to 9:40 am, with 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.

The moon in Hwadae
Moon phase and position
Today the moon is 226,480 mi away and looks 32′ 46″ across.
Solunar periods
Today's activity: medium- 1:24–3:24 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity
- 1:56–3:56 pm Major · the moon passes underfoot · high activity
- 10:00–11:00 am Minor · moonset · medium activity
- 6:51–7:51 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.
