Gangkou (Manzhou) Tide Table

1. 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).
2. 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.
3. 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.

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 the Gangkou surf area include the river channel?

No. The listing covers daytime surfing within 200 metres of shore; channels, powered vessels and other marked activity zones must still be avoided.
