Your day at a glance

The best window, 5:40 am to 6:20 am, combines the 5:16 am high tide, sunrise and some swell, though with rising pressure. Also worth a try from 9:30 am to 10:10 am, with the 10:31 am low tide, moonset and some swell, though with rising pressure. Also worth a try from 4:00 pm to 5:00 pm, with the 4:14 pm high tide, sunset and some swell, though with rising pressure and moderate wind.

The water rises and falls 2.7 ft between the highest high and the lowest low: a large range for this place. 70 is an average tide here; 90 and above means spring tides; below 45, neap tides. What is the tide coefficient?

2026 extremes: the highest tide of the year is on September 29 (3.1 ft) and the lowest, on April 19 (-0.5 ft).

Mixed: two high and two low tides a day, but of quite different heights.

Where this tide comes from

B · Nearby station

Furukamaya has no station of its own, so we use the tide at Oma (JMA), 3.6 mi away. On the open coast the difference is usually a few minutes and inches; inside estuaries, rivers and enclosed bays it can be much larger.

Sea and waves

The sea at Furukamaya

7-day waves

Sea stateSea state: slight

Slight Douglas 3 · gentle breeze, Beaufort 3
Waves 3.1 ft · 6.3 s from the west (260°)
Swell 2.9 ft · 5.5 s from the west-southwest
Current 2.4 mph toward the NE

The waves you may find

  • Most commonMost common1.6 ft
  • Significant3.1 ft
  • Highest expectedHighest6.4 ft

One wave in seven is higher than the significant height, and about 3 times a day one reaches 6.4 ft. Before heading out, expect waves of up to 6.4 ft.

Wind on the coast and offshore

On the coast 8 mph WSW · gusts 17
Offshore (2.1 mi ESE)Offshore 10 mph W · gusts 21

Offshore wind. The coast faces northeast and the wind blows from land out to sea: calm shore and clean waves, but watch the drift out to sea.

Water warmer than normal for late October (+4.1 °F).

The best window, 7:00 am to 11:00 am, has light offshore wind, though with barely any waves.

An estimate for this stretch of coast, not for a specific break: every beach or reef works its own way (its tide, bottom and angle). Check it when you get there.

Follow the flags and the lifeguards, and don’t paddle out if the surf is above your level: this score is a guide, not a substitute for what you see when you get there.

Your diving day at a glance

The best window, 3:10 pm to 4:30 pm, combines slack water at high tide and light wind, though with current. Also worth a look from 10:30 am to 11:10 am, with slack water at low tide, light wind and the sun high, though with current.

Slack water comes from the tide: in inlets, channels and between islands the water can keep running for an hour or two after. Ask the local dive shop.

Solunar periods

Today's activity: medium
  • 12:36–2:36 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity

  • 9:15–10:15 am Minor · moonset · medium activity
  • 6:00–7:00 pm Minor · moonrise · medium activity

According to solunar theory, fish feed more when the moon passes overhead or underfoot (major periods, about 2 h) and when it rises or sets (minor periods, 1 h). It works best around new and full moon.

Water depth

Gentle slope

The bottom slopes gently: 16 ft deep 600 ft from shore and 33 ft at 0.35 mi. It reaches 164 ft at 1.1 mi.

From the shoreline out to sea, heading northeast.

How far from shore

  • 16 ft deep600 ft
  • 33 ft deep0.35 mi
  • 66 ft deep0.8 mi
  • 164 ft deep1.1 mi

For fishing, swimming and diving

  • Shore fishing. About 9.2 ft of water 330 ft out: long casts help, and so does a rising tide, which brings fish closer in.
  • Swimming. The water gets deeper little by little, but a few dozen yards out you can no longer stand.
  • Diving. Shore diving works here: 33 ft at 0.35 mi and 66 ft at 0.8 mi from shore.

Rough estimate: here the data comes in cells of about 0.3 mi and misses details near shore (rocks, sandbars, small coves).
