Where this tide comes from
Ban Phru Nai has no station of its own, so we use the tide at Ko Taphao Noi (TICON-4), 14 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 sea at Ban Phru Nai
Sea stateSea state: slight
The waves you may find
- Most commonMost common1.1 ft
- Significant2.1 ft
- Highest expectedHighest4.5 ft
One wave in seven is higher than the significant height, and about 3 times a day one reaches 4.5 ft. Before heading out, expect waves of up to 4.5 ft.
Wind on the coast and offshore
The model doesn't separate offshore wind here: it's the same as on the coast.
Cross-onshore wind. The coast faces south and the wind comes in from the sea at an angle: a bit more surf at the shore and drift along the coast, toward land.
Wave height, next 7 daysWaves, next 7 days
Waves stay much the same all week. The biggest waves arrive on Thursday 29: 2.4 ft with a period of 4 s, from the south (slight).
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 Ban Phru Nai today
Surf today
Poor- 1.2–1.8 ft surf at the shore, small: good for learning or a longboard
- 0.6 ft swell at 4 s from the south-southwest, short: weak, messy waves
- 1.3 ft wind swell at 2 s: messy waves
- Light onshore wind (7 mph): a bit of chop
- Thunderstorm: stay out of the water (lightning)
- Rising tide (high tide at 12:15 pm)
Thunderstorms in the best window: with lightning, stay out of the water.
- Light: First light 5:52 am · sunrise 6:14 am · sunset 6:05 pm · last light 6:27 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 86.5 °F: boardshorts or a swimsuit and a rash guard.
- Energy: 3 kJ · Low power
Today’s surf at a glance
The best window is 6:00 am to 10:00 am, though with small waves, a short-period swell, wind swell and thunderstorms.
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, weak current and the sun high, though with moderate wind. Also worth a look from 5:10 pm to 6:30 pm, with slack water at low tide, little swell and weak current, though with 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.

Moon phase and position
Today the moon is 226,507 mi away and looks 32′ 46″ across.
Solunar periods
Today's activity: medium- 1:33–3:33 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity
- 2:06–4:06 pm Major · the moon passes underfoot · high activity
- 8:36–9:36 am Minor · moonset · medium activity
- 8:35–9:35 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.

- 66 ft deep1.3 mi
- 164 ft deepnot within 3.1 mi
For fishing, swimming and diving
- Shore fishing. Shallow, gradual bottom (16 ft at 950 ft): 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 0.5 mi from shore; 66 ft is far out (1.3 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). The profile is turned slightly from the coast so it does not run into an island or a headland.
