The sea at Nangan
Sea stateSea state: slight
The waves you may find
- Most commonMost common1.7 ft
- Significant3.3 ft
- Highest expectedHighest7.0 ft
One wave in seven is higher than the significant height, and about 3 times a day one reaches 7.0 ft. Before heading out, expect waves of up to 7.0 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: 5.8 ft with a period of 6 s, from the east-northeast (moderate).
Water temperature
Water temperature →Water temperature changes how fish behave: in very cold or very warm water they feed less. The water is steady these days, with no sudden changes.
Water warmer than normal for late October (+3.1 °F).

Surf in Nangan today
Surf today
Poor- 2.0–3.1 ft surf at the shore, a fun size for most surfers
- 3.0 ft swell at 5 s from the east, short: weak, messy waves
- Moderate offshore wind (16 mph): it holds up and grooms the waves
- Rising tide (high tide at 12:04 pm)
- Light: First light 5:43 am · sunrise 6:07 am · sunset 5:21 pm · last light 5:44 pm
- Tide: low 5:49 am (2.0 ft), high 12:04 pm (22.4 ft), low 6:15 pm (6.7 ft) and high 11:55 pm (20.8 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 75.7 °F: boardshorts or a swimsuit and a rash guard.
- Energy: 40 kJ · Low power
Today’s surf at a glance
The best window, 6:00 am to 10:00 am, has a good size and light offshore wind, though with a short-period swell. 2:00 pm to 3:00 pm can also work, 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 Nangan today
Diving and snorkeling today
Likely visibility: fair- Slack water around high tide (12:04 pm): little current from 11:40 am to 12:30 pm
- 2.4 ft swell at 5 s from the east: some surge on the bottom
- Light offshore wind (12 mph)
- 0.8 mph current toward the south-southwest (model)
- Sun high: more light underwater
- Slack water today: low tide 5:49 am (5:30–6:10 am), high tide 12:04 pm (11:40 am–12:30 pm), low tide 6:15 pm (5:50–6:40 pm) and high tide 11:55 pm (11:30 pm–12:30 am)
- Likely visibility: fair. Swell (up to 3.1 ft at 5 s) and wind over the last few days have stirred up the water. Based on the last 24 hours of data.
- Water at 75.7 °F: a 3 mm wetsuit.
- Snorkeling: doable, with some waves or wind.
- Night dive: dark from 5:44 pm. Waning gibbous (88%), rising at 7:51 pm: a bright night.
Your diving day at a glance
The best window, 11:30 am to 1:20 pm, combines slack water at high tide, light wind and the sun high, though with current. Also worth a look from 4:40 pm to 5:20 pm, with weak current, though with tidal current and moderate wind.
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.

Moon phase and position
Today the moon is 226,493 mi away and looks 32′ 46″ across.
Solunar periods
Today's activity: medium- 1:04–3:04 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity
- 1:36–3:36 pm Major · the moon passes underfoot · high activity
- 8:51–9:51 am Minor · moonset · medium activity
- 7:21–8:21 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. Shallow, gradual bottom (16 ft at 0.3 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. 33 ft deep 0.35 mi from shore; 66 ft is far out (2.2 mi): for deeper dives, 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).
