Semidiurnal: two high and two low tides a day, of similar height.

Where this tide comes from
Gijang has no station of its own, so we use the tide at Haeundae (KHOA), 5.9 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.
Station data attribution: Korea Hydrographic and Oceanographic Agency (해양수산부 국립해양조사원), harmonic constants of the TideBED reference ports (예측조위(타이드베드) 기준항 조화상수, 2025-08-12), station Haeundae (해운대, SO_0553), https://www.data.go.kr/data/15145395/fileData.do.

The sea at Gijang
Sea stateSea state: slight
The waves you may find
- Most commonMost common0.9 ft
- Significant1.7 ft
- Highest expectedHighest3.5 ft
One wave in seven is higher than the significant height, and about 3 times a day one reaches 3.5 ft. Before heading out, expect waves of up to 3.5 ft.
Wind on the coast and offshore
Cross-offshore wind. The coast faces southeast 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 Monday 2: 3.3 ft with a period of 5 s, from the east-southeast (slight).
Water temperature
Water temperature →The satellite measured 4.5 °F more 2 days ago than the model gives now: the water is probably warmer than the forecast says.
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 66.9 °F by Wednesday 4.
Water about normal for late October.

Surf in Gijang today
Surf today
Poor- 1.4–2.1 ft surf at the shore, a fun size for most surfers
- 2.0 ft swell at 6 s from the northeast, short: weak, messy waves
- Almost no wind (3 mph): glassy water
- First or last light of the day
- Rising tide (high tide at 9:38 am)
- Light: First light 6:15 am · sunrise 6:41 am · sunset 5:32 pm · last light 5:58 pm
- Tide: low 3:37 am (0.3 ft), high 9:38 am (3.2 ft), low 3:52 pm (0.0 ft) and high 10:11 pm (3.2 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 68.9 °F: a springsuit or a 2 mm fullsuit.
- Energy: 27 kJ · Low power
Today’s surf at a glance
The best window, 6:15 am to 10:00 am, has glassy water, though with a short-period swell. 12:00 pm to 4:00 pm can also work, with light offshore wind, 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.

- Likely visibility: good. Swell (up to 3.1 ft at 7 s) over the last few days has stirred up the water. Based on the last 24 hours of data.
- Water at 68.9 °F: a 5 mm wetsuit.
- Snorkeling: doable, with some waves or wind.
- Night dive: dark from 5:58 pm. Waning gibbous (88%), rising at 7:44 pm: a bright night.
Your diving day at a glance
The best window, 9:00 am to 10:30 am, combines slack water at high tide, light wind, weak current and the sun high.
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 Gijang
Moon phase and position
Today the moon is 226,480 mi away and looks 32′ 46″ across.
Solunar periods
Today's activity: medium- 1:25–3:25 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity
- 1:57–3:57 pm Major · the moon passes underfoot · high activity
- 9:40–10:40 am Minor · moonset · medium activity
- 7:14–8:14 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. 33 ft of water just 850 ft from shore: a good cast reaches deep water. Current and surf hit harder here.
- Swimming. The water gets deeper little by little, but a few dozen yards out you can no longer stand.
- Diving. Shore diving works here: 33 ft at 850 ft and 66 ft at 0.25 mi from shore.
Rough estimate: here the data comes in cells of about 0.3 mi and misses details near shore (rocks, sandbars, small coves).
Source: NOAA ETOPO 2022 (CC0), cells of about 0.3 mi; depth below mean sea level. For reference only: not for navigation or anchoring.
