The sea at Jincheng
Sea stateSea state: slight
The waves you may find
- Most commonMost common1.1 ft
- Significant2.2 ft
- Highest expectedHighest4.6 ft
One wave in seven is higher than the significant height, and about 3 times a day one reaches 4.6 ft. Before heading out, expect waves of up to 4.6 ft.
Wind on the coast and offshore
The model doesn't separate offshore wind here: it's the same as on the coast.
Offshore wind. The coast faces south and the wind blows from land out to sea: calm shore and clean waves, but watch the drift out to sea.

Waves stay much the same all week. The biggest waves arrive on Tuesday 3: 3.9 ft with a period of 5 s, from the east-northeast (slight).

Surf in Jincheng today
Surf today
Poor- 0.9–1.3 ft surf at the shore, small: good for learning or a longboard
- 1.8 ft swell at 5 s from the east-northeast, short: weak, messy waves; it hits this coast at an angle
- Light offshore wind (8 mph): it holds up and grooms the waves
- Falling tide (low tide at 7:44 am)
- Light: First light 5:48 am · sunrise 6:11 am · sunset 5:29 pm · last light 5:52 pm
- Tide: high 1:19 am (19.4 ft), low 7:44 am (1.6 ft), high 2:13 pm (19.4 ft) and low 8:06 pm (6.2 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 77.5 °F: boardshorts or a swimsuit and a rash guard.
- Energy: 12 kJ · Low power
Today’s surf at a glance
The best window, 6:00 am to 10:00 am, has 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.

Your diving day at a glance
The best window, 7:10 am to 8:10 am, combines slack water at low tide and light wind, though with current. Also worth a look from 1:40 pm to 3:10 pm, with slack water at high tide, little swell, light wind and the sun high, though with current. Also worth a look from 4:40 pm to 5:30 pm, with little swell, 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.

Moon phase and position
Today the moon is 226,493 mi away and looks 32′ 46″ across.
Solunar periods
Today's activity: medium- 1:11–3:11 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity

- 8:53–9:53 am Minor · moonset · medium activity
- 7:32–8:32 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.
