Today's tide forecast for Zhongjiao Bay: high and low tide times, tide heights, tidal range and wave conditions. Data from Taiwan CWA, updated daily.
The wave card above shows live wave height, direction, period and wind-wave data — your first check for whether today is surfable. Generally a wave height of ~0.8–2 m, a longer period and offshore wind give the cleanest waves.
Tide also shapes the break: most beach breaks work better from mid to high tide, while reef breaks are best avoided at very low tide to prevent hitting the bottom. Read this together with the tide times above.
It depends on the break. Beach breaks usually work best from mid to high tide; reef or shallow breaks are better avoided at very low tide to prevent hitting the bottom. Combine that day’s tide times with the wave card above.
Beginners are safest with steady small waves of ~0.5–1 m; advanced surfers can take on 1.5 m and up. Beyond height, a longer period and offshore wind give cleaner waves. Always watch for rip currents and surf within your ability.
