How to use
Pick a location — Choose a coastal spot from the dropdown above, or go straight to /tide/location-slug for that spot's own page (e.g. Gaomei Wetlands, Longdong, Jinzun).
Read the tide cards — High tide and low tide times and heights are the first thing to check — they decide whether it's safe to go into the water, walk the tidal flats, or surf.
Check the location-specific notes — Things like the Gaomei boardwalk's opening hours, a dive spot's slack-water window, or surf conditions only appear on that location's own page — scroll down after switching locations.
Verified access, entry and facilities
Only official or owner-confirmed information is shown. Unverified drafts stay off the page. Check same-day notices and on-site controls before departure.
Getting there with equipment
Jinzun Fishing Harbor is open around the clock, and the official page places car parking inside the harbor. Use that established lot with boards rather than treating harbor work roads as unloading bays. Official source
The official point is at kilometre 132 of Highway 11, where the surf area shares a working fishing-harbor coast. On arrival, distinguish fishery work space from spectator and surf routes instead of unloading at the map pin. Official source
Water entry and exit
Jinzun is known for a left-breaking wave produced under the northeast monsoon, beside the fishing harbor. Before entering, observe vessel movement and wave direction and do not cross an active boat route. Official source
A sandbar walk links the harbor to the tombolo, but it submerges at high tide. This sightseeing route is not a dependable board-carry entry, and it must not be forced when flooded. Official source
Rinsing, parking and facilities
The only activity-relevant facility explicitly listed is the car park inside the harbor. The page does not promise public rinsing or changing facilities; confirm those needs with a lawful local business. Official source
Rules and ecological care
The East Coast administration requires checking weather, sea state and personal condition before water activities. Jinzun’s left break is not a safety guarantee; cancel beyond ability or during busy harbor operations. Official source
Check tides and wear suitable footwear before visiting the tombolo, and never force a crossing when the sandbar is submerged. Surfers should not use its low-tide outline as a fixed return marker. Official source
FAQ
Should I surf on a rising or falling tide?
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.
What wave height is good for surfing?
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.
Does Jinzun have official parking and rinsing?
The official page confirms car parking inside the harbor but does not list public rinse or changing facilities. Confirm board rinsing with a lawful local operator.
