Xiaoliuqiu Tide Table

30-day tide table for Xiaoliuqiu, 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 are officially confirmed rinsing and lockers on Xiaoliuqiu?

Liuchiu Ocean Station provides both, Tuesday–Sunday 09:00–17:00. It is not a dive entry and closes Mondays and national holidays.

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

Liuchiu Ocean Station at No. 5-10 Zhongshan Road has parking, but it is an education and support site—not a universal island entry. Confirm the actual dive site before moving gear there. Official source

Water entry and exit

Most waters within 200 metres seaward of Xiaoliuqiu’s high-tide line are an aquatic propagation conservation area. Observation is allowed, but hand collection and habitat damage are prohibited. Official source

Rinsing, parking and facilities

Liuchiu Ocean Station provides rinsing, lockers, an accessible toilet and drinking water, Tuesday–Sunday 09:00–17:00; it closes Mondays and national holidays. Official source
The station also offers parking and marine-safety information, but facility access follows opening hours. Do not assume rinsing or storage for dawn, night or closure-day dives. Official source

Rules and ecological care

Keep at least five metres from green turtles: do not touch, disturb, chase or surround them. Observe quietly and never alter a turtle’s route for a photograph. Official source
Intertidal demonstration zones such as Shanfu, Yuchengwei and Duzaiping have separate guide, closure and capacity rules. A shore dive does not authorize crossing their controlled routes. Official source
