Where this tide comes from
Ban Karon has no station of its own, so we use the tide at Ko Taphao Noi (TICON-4), 8.7 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 Karon
Sea stateSea state: slight
The waves you may find
- Most commonMost common0.9 ft
- Significant1.7 ft
- Highest expectedHighest3.5 ft
One wave in seven is higher than the significant height, and about 3 times a day one reaches 3.5 ft. Before heading out, expect waves of up to 3.5 ft.
Wind on the coast and offshore
The model doesn't separate offshore wind here: it's the same as on the coast.
Cross-shore wind. The coast faces west and the wind blows along the shore: drift and current run parallel to the beach.
Wave height, next 7 daysWaves, next 7 days
Waves stay much the same all week. The biggest waves arrive on Friday 30: 2.1 ft with a period of 6 s, from the west-southwest (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 Karon today
Surf today
Poor- 1.3–2.0 ft surf at the shore, a fun size for most surfers
- 1.6 ft swell at 5 s from the west, short: weak, messy waves
- Moderate cross-shore wind (17 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 5:53 am · sunrise 6:15 am · sunset 6:06 pm · last light 6:28 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 85.8 °F: boardshorts or a swimsuit and a rash guard.
- Energy: 14 kJ · Low power
Today’s surf at a glance
The best window is 6:00 am to 10:00 am, though with a short-period swell, cross-shore wind 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.
Diving in Ban Karon today
Diving and snorkeling today
Likely visibility: poor- Slack water around high tide (12:15 pm): little current from 11:50 am to 12:40 pm

- Moderate onshore wind (18 mph)
- 1.0 mph current toward the north-northwest (model)
- Sun high: more light underwater
- Slack water today: high tide 11:51 pm (11:30 pm–12:10 am), low tide 6:11 am (5:50–6:30 am), high tide 12:15 pm (11:50 am–12:40 pm) and low tide 6:14 pm (5:50–6:30 pm)
- Likely visibility: poor. Swell (up to 3.5 ft at 6 s) and rain (2.30 in) over the last few days have stirred up the water. Based on the last 24 hours of data.
- Water at 85.8 °F: a shorty or a rash guard.
- Snorkeling: doable, with some waves or wind.
- Night dive: dark from 6:28 pm. Waning gibbous (87%), rising at 9:06 pm: a bright night.
Your diving day at a glance
The best window, 12:30 pm to 1:20 pm, combines slack water at high tide, little swell and the sun high, though with moderate wind and 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.
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 226,507 mi away and looks 32′ 46″ across.
Solunar periods
Today's activity: medium- 1:34–3:34 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity

- 8:37–9:37 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 0.25 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 0.35 mi and 66 ft at 0.7 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).
