Tide Calendar (tide table)

Last updated: 2026-06-25

TL;DR

A tide table summarizes the tide, lunar date and spring/neap for each day of a month at a glance. Pick a year and month and the full month's tide table is generated automatically.

Find the spring (sari) and neap (jogeum) days in advance to plan a month of fishing trips. Based on the West Sea 7-tide system.

Pick year and month

2024-2035 supported.
Pick the month you want the tide table for.

The tide table is a reference value on the West Sea 7-tide system and may vary by 1-2 tides by region. For exact tide levels and high/low water times, check the Korea Hydrographic and Oceanographic Agency (KHOA) tide forecast.

How to use

  1. Pick year and month — Choose the year and month you want the tide table for. The default is the current month.
  2. Generate the table — Press Show tide table to generate the tide, lunar date and spring/neap for each day of that month.
  3. Check spring/neap — Find the spring (sari) and neap (jogeum) days in the table to plan a month of fishing trips.

How to read the tide table and the standard

The tide table shows the lunar date and tide side by side for every day of a month. The tide repeats on a roughly 15-day cycle, so a month usually has spring (sari) and neap (jogeum) twice each. In the table, the 'Spring tide (sari)' rows are around the full and new moon when the current is strongest, and the 'Neap tide (jogeum)' rows are around the lunar 8th and 23rd when the flow is weakest.

Tide phase characteristics and fishing notes
Tide phaseTypical lunar daysCurrentFishing note
Spring tide (sari)15th, 30thVery strongBig in/out — good for mudflat & long-casting, watch your drifting rig
Approaching spring3rd-5th, 18th-20thStrongActive flow — expect active fish to bite
Mid tide1st, 10th-13thModerateModerate flow — an all-round, easy tide
Neap tide (jogeum)8th, 23rdWeakWater barely moves — bites may be slow, use a fine rig

To check just one date quickly, use the tide calculator; for high/low water times use high/low water times; for seasonal fish info see the fishing info hub.

Frequently asked questions (FAQ)

What is a tide table?

A tide table summarizes the tide (which 'mul'), lunar date and spring/neap for each day of a month at a glance. Use it to find spring (sari) and neap (jogeum) days in advance and plan your fishing trips.

What standard is this tide table based on?

It converts solar to lunar with Korea Astronomy and Space Science Institute (KASI) data, then assigns tides with the West Sea 7-tide system (lunar 1st/16th = 7-mul, 8th/23rd = neap, 15th/30th = spring). It can differ by 1-2 tides depending on the region.

How do I find spring/neap days in the table?

Look for the 'Spring tide (sari)' and 'Neap tide (jogeum)' rows in the tide phase column. A month usually has spring and neap twice each.

What period can I view tide tables for?

You can generate tide tables from January 2024 to December 2035, the range of the built-in KASI lunar data.
