Today Friday, 24th of May of 2013, the sun rose in Pulau Pinang at 7:04 h and sunset will be at 19:27 h. The moon set at 5:56 h at 253º southwest. Eventually, the moon will rise again in the southeast (108º) at 18:41 h.

The lunar phase is a Waxing Gibbous. Today we have 12 hours and 23 minutes of sun. The solar transit is at 13:15 h and the length of time the moon will be visible will be 11 hours and 15 minutes.
The tidal coefficient today is 100. With such a hight coefficient we will have big tides and the currents will also be very evident. At noon the tidal coefficient increases to 101 to end the day with a tidal coefficient of 101. The tide heights today are 0.8 m, 2.6 m, 0.5 m and 2.3 m. We can compare these levels with the maximum high tide recorded in the tide tables for Pulau Pinang which is of 2.8 m and a minimum height of 0.3 m.
The solunar fishing calendar in Pulau Pinang tells us that today is a good day for fishing, the fish activity forecast is high. Please, read more about solunar tables. The best times of day for fishing are:
| from 5:56 h to 6:56 h, high activity minor period (moonset)
from 12:18 h to 14:18 h, very high activity Major period (moon down)
from 18:41 h to 19:41 h, high activity minor period (moonrise). This period also coincides with sunset; therefore the sun will exercise more influence, possibly obtaining greater activity than expected
Tide timetable for Pulau Pinang. The times are generated in local time in Malaysia. You will also have the lunar phase, sunrise and sunset times, the tidal coefficient and the average fish activity forecast for each day according to the solunar tables:
[ 0 low activity ] , [ average activity ] , [ high activity ] , [ very high activity ]
NOTE: The times reflected in the tide table for Pulau Pinang are tide forecasts only valid as references for sport fishing. They shouldn't be used as a guide for navigation. The heights are expressed in meters referenced to Mean Lower Low Water (MLLW).
MLLW is the average of the lower low water height of each tidal day observed over the official time segment over which tide observations are taken and reduced to obtain mean value (Tidal Datum Epoch).
