Tides in Dodong-ri
Today's high and low tides
- ▲ High tide 3:14 am 0.9 ft
- ▼ Next low tide 11:09 am 0.0 ft
↓ Falling The tide is falling. 3 h 6 min to low tide at 11:09 am.
In Dodong-ri the astronomical tide is very small: about 0.9 ft between high and low tide. Here the sea level is moved mostly by wind and air pressure (storm surge), which can raise or lower it more than the tide itself.
2026 extremes: the highest tide of the year is on December 26 (1.0 ft) and the lowest, on December 25 (-0.1 ft).
Heights above chart datum (CD), the zero of that port's nautical charts. Astronomical prediction: wind and air pressure can raise or lower the water by a few inches, and more in a storm. Not for navigation. chart datum (CD)

Where this tide comes from

The sea at Dodong-ri
Sea stateSea state: slight
The waves you may find
- Most commonMost common1.5 ft
- Significant3.0 ft
- Highest expectedHighest6.2 ft
One wave in seven is higher than the significant height, and about 3 times a day one reaches 6.2 ft. Before heading out, expect waves of up to 6.2 ft.
Wind on the coast and offshore
The model doesn't separate offshore wind here: it's the same as on the coast.
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 build over the next few days. The biggest waves arrive on Tuesday 3: 6.6 ft with a period of 6 s, from the northwest (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 67.6 °F by Wednesday 4.
Water warmer than normal for late October (+3.2 °F).

Surf in Dodong-ri today
Surf today
Poor- 1.0–1.5 ft surf at the shore, small: good for learning or a longboard
- 1.9 ft swell at 5 s from the northwest, short: weak, messy waves; this coast faces away from it
- 1.8 ft wind swell at 3 s: messy waves
- Moderate offshore wind (15 mph): it holds up and grooms the waves
- First or last light of the day
- Light: First light 6:11 am · sunrise 6:38 am · sunset 5:22 pm · last light 5:49 pm
- Tide: We don’t have a reliable tide to show here.
- Water at 69.4 °F: a springsuit or a 2 mm fullsuit.
- Energy: 19 kJ · Low power
Today’s surf at a glance
The best window, 6:11 am to 10:00 am, has light offshore wind, though with small waves, a short-period swell and wind 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.

Your diving day at a glance
The best window, 8:30 am to 9:30 am, combines light wind and weak current. Also worth a look from 6:40 am to 7:30 am, with weak current, though with moderate wind.
In Dodong-ri the tide barely moves the water, so there's no slack to wait for: swell, wind and current are what count.
Never dive alone and check with the local dive shop: this rating is a guide, not a substitute for a professional.

The moon in Dodong-ri
Moon phase and position
Today the moon is 226,480 mi away and looks 32′ 46″ across.
Solunar periods
Today's activity: medium- 1:18–3:18 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity
- 1:50–3:50 pm Major · the moon passes underfoot · high activity
- 9:41–10:41 am Minor · moonset · medium activity
- 6:58–7:58 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.

Water depth

For fishing, swimming and diving
- Shore fishing. Shallow, gradual bottom (16 ft at 0.6 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 near shore: you only reach 33 ft at 0.65 mi. For dives deeper than 33 ft, go by boat.
Rough estimate: here the data comes in cells of about 0.3 mi and misses details near shore (rocks, sandbars, small coves).
