The sea at Sanzhi District
Sea stateSea state: slight
The waves you may find
- Most commonMost common2.1 ft
- Significant4.1 ft
- Highest expectedHighest8.4 ft
One wave in seven is higher than the significant height, and about 3 times a day one reaches 8.4 ft. Before heading out, expect waves of up to 8.4 ft.
Wind on the coast and offshore
Cross-offshore wind. The coast faces northwest 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 Thursday 29: 5.8 ft with a period of 7 s, from the 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.

Surf in Sanzhi District today
Surf today
Fair- 2.5–3.8 ft surf at the shore, a fun size for most surfers
- 4.1 ft swell at 6 s from the northeast, short: weak, messy waves
- Light offshore wind (8 mph): it holds up and grooms the waves
- Rising tide (high tide at 12:37 pm)
- Light: First light 5:36 am · sunrise 6:00 am · sunset 5:15 pm · last light 5:39 pm
- Tide: low 6:08 am (0.9 ft), high 12:37 pm (9.1 ft) and low 7:27 pm (3.7 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 78.6 °F: boardshorts or a swimsuit and a rash guard.
- Energy: 121 kJ · Medium 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. 4:00 pm to 5:00 pm can also work, with a good size and 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.

Your diving day at a glance
The best window, 11:40 am to 12:30 pm, combines slack water at high tide, light wind, weak current and the sun high, though with some swell. Also worth a look from 4:30 pm to 5:20 pm, with light wind, though with 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- 12:58–2:58 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity
- 1:30–3:30 pm Major · the moon passes underfoot · high activity
- 8:42–9:42 am Minor · moonset · medium activity
- 7:17–8:17 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 0.4 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. Shore diving works here: 33 ft at 0.5 mi and 66 ft at 0.9 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).
