How to use
  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.
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.

Are showers currently available at Zhongjiao?

Yes. Official information says showers at both centres are open weekdays and holidays; hours, water temperature and fees follow on-site notices.

Surf Conditions & Tide

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.

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

  • Zhongjiao is at Highway 2 kilometre 39, No. 180-3 Haixing Road. Its 79-space lot does not accept coaches; bring boards through the base parking route. Official source
  • Car parking is charged per session and resets every eight hours, with different weekday and holiday rates. The first ten minutes are free only if leaving; pay when staying after unloading. Official source

Water entry and exit

  • Zhongjiao is a concave sandy bay with visitor and surf centres beside the beach. Enter through the managed base area rather than creating access along unmarked side shores. Official source
  • While lifeguards are stationed, the managed water zone is currently reserved for surfing and SUP. Stay within on-site buoys or control lines and follow staff directions. Official source

Rinsing, parking and facilities

  • Both the visitor centre and surf centre provide showers, officially open on weekdays and holidays. Follow on-site notices for hot-water and fee details. Official source
  • The base also has an accessible family toilet, parking, AED and surf rental/instruction services. General centre hours are 09:00–17:00. Official source

Rules and ecological care

  • Even during lifeguard periods, entry depends on sea state and flags. Base facilities do not guarantee rescue outside the managed zone or staffed hours. Official source
  • Under typhoon alert or forecast force-eight winds with waves above six metres, declared danger areas are closed. Check current notices; a tide table never overrides closure. Official source
