Ludao Chaikou Tide Table

30-day tide table for Ludao Chaikou, including today's and tomorrow's high and low tide times, heights, tidal range and wave conditions from Taiwan CWA.

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.

FAQ

Should I dive on a rising or falling tide?

What matters is slack water, not rising vs falling — the current is weakest around high and low tide, which is best for shore diving and snorkelling. Mid-tide has the strongest, most dangerous current. Match your entry to that day’s tide times and aim for the slack window.

How do I know the best time to get in today?

Check today’s high and low tide times on this page; the roughly 1-hour window around each turning point is slack water with the weakest current. Still confirm the day’s wind, swell, visibility and weather, and defer to your dive shop and on-site notices.

Where should shore divers enter at Chaikou?

Use the official dive walkway. It supports entry while reducing trampling of other reef areas; do not create a shortcut across the platform.

Slack Water & Best Times to Get In (Diving / Snorkelling)

Shore diving and snorkelling are safest — and usually clearest — at slack water: the window around high and low tide when the current turns and runs weakest. Mid-tide is when the current is strongest and least suitable for getting in.

Below are estimated slack windows of about 1 hour around each high and low tide today. Actual current, swell and visibility still depend on wind, terrain and weather.

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

Chaikou’s official address is No. 61 Chaikou, with parking and toilets listed. Use the attraction lot with gear and continue via the marked dive walkway. Official source
Chaikou lies on the north coast and is often sheltered during June–August southwest winds. Same-day sea conditions still govern; seasonal shelter is not a guarantee. Official source

Water entry and exit

Chaikou has a dedicated dive walkway to aid entry and protect other reef areas. Both scuba divers and snorkellers should use it rather than cutting across the reef platform. Official source
A reef platform with layered depth and many submerged rocks lies between shore and the large reef. Identify the walkway exit and return direction before entering rather than assuming a straight swim back. Official source

Rinsing, parking and facilities

Official facilities include parking, toilets, a payphone and lookout, covering parking and toilet needs. No public equipment-rinse station is identified in the published list. Official source

Rules and ecological care

Official guidance requires a qualified operator and professional instructor. Even though Chaikou is described for beginner snorkelling, unfamiliar visitors should not enter alone. Official source
The dive walkway reduces coral trampling. When observing starfish, urchins and algae after the dive, look only—do not turn rocks, touch or remove organisms. Official source
