Where this tide comes from
Ao Nang has no station of its own, so we use the tide at Ko Taphao Noi (TICON-4), 30 mi away. On the open coast the difference is usually a few minutes and inches; inside estuaries, rivers and enclosed bays it can be much larger.

The waves you may find
- Most commonMost common0.4 ft
- Significant0.9 ft
- Highest expectedHighest1.8 ft
One wave in seven is higher than the significant height, and about 3 times a day one reaches 1.8 ft. Before heading out, expect waves of up to 1.8 ft.
Wind on the coast and offshore
Cross-shore wind. The coast faces south and the wind blows along the shore: drift and current run parallel to the beach.

Waves stay much the same all week. The biggest waves arrive on Thursday 29: 1.3 ft with a period of 4 s, from the south-southwest (smooth).

Surf in Ao Nang today
Surf today
Poor- 0.8–1.3 ft surf at the shore, small: good for learning or a longboard
- 1.0 ft swell at 4 s from the southwest, short: weak, messy waves
- Light offshore wind (6 mph): it holds up and grooms the waves
- Rising tide (high tide at 12:15 pm)
- Light: First light 5:51 am · sunrise 6:13 am · sunset 6:04 pm · last light 6:26 pm
- Tide: low 6:11 am (1.6 ft), high 12:15 pm (8.9 ft) and low 6:14 pm (2.2 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 86.9 °F: boardshorts or a swimsuit and a rash guard.
- Energy: 4 kJ · Low power
Today’s surf at a glance
The best window, 10:00 am to 2:00 pm, 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, 11:20 am to 1:20 pm, combines slack water at high tide, little swell, light wind, weak current and the sun high. Also good from 5:10 pm to 6:30 pm, with slack water at low tide, little swell, light wind and weak 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.

Solunar periods
Today's activity: medium- 1:32–3:32 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity

- 8:35–9:35 am Minor · moonset · 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 0.8 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 2.1 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).
