Tides in Heunghae
Today's high and low tides
- ▲ High tide 4:05 am 0.6 ft
- ▼ Low tide 12:35 pm 0.0 ft
↑ Rising The tide is rising. 9 h 33 min to high tide at 4:40 am.
In Heunghae the astronomical tide is very small: about 0.7 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 (0.8 ft) and the lowest, on June 16 (-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
Tides from the Pohang station (KHOA), 4.8 mi from Heunghae. Times and heights are its predictions.

The sea at Heunghae
Sea stateSea state: smooth
The waves you may find
- Most commonMost common0.7 ft
- Significant1.4 ft
- Highest expectedHighest2.9 ft
One wave in seven is higher than the significant height, and about 3 times a day one reaches 2.9 ft. Before heading out, expect waves of up to 2.9 ft.
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 ease over the next few days. The biggest waves arrive on Thursday 29: 3.5 ft with a period of 8 s, from the north-northeast (slight).
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 64.0 °F by Wednesday 4.
Water about normal for late October.

Today’s surf at a glance
The best window, 6:16 am to 10:00 am, has a good size and glassy water, though with a short-period swell. 1:00 pm to 5:00 pm can also work, with light offshore wind, 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 and snorkeling today
Likely visibility: good- 2.2 ft swell at 5 s from the northeast: some surge on the bottom
- Light offshore wind (7 mph)
- 0.0 mph current toward the east, weak (model)
- Sun high: more light underwater
- Slack water today: none; the tide doesn't count here

- Snorkeling: doable, with some waves or wind.
- Night dive: dark from 5:57 pm. Waning gibbous (88%), rising at 7:40 pm: a bright night.
Your diving day at a glance
The best window, 9:10 am to 12:10 pm, combines light wind, weak current and the sun high.
In Heunghae the tide barely moves the water, so there's no slack to wait for: swell, wind and current are what count.

The moon in Heunghae
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
- 9:42–10:42 am Minor · moonset · medium activity
- 7:10–8:10 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.
