The water rises and falls 2.3 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 13 (2.7 ft) and the lowest, on April 19 (-0.5 ft).
Mixed: two high and two low tides a day, but of quite different heights.
Heights above NLLW. Astronomical prediction: wind and air pressure can raise or lower the water by a few inches, and more in a storm. Not for navigation. NLLW

Where this tide comes from
Tides from the Ominato station (TICON-4), 4.4 mi from Mutsu. Times and heights are its predictions.

The sea at Mutsu
Sea stateSea state: slight
The waves you may find
- Most commonMost common1.0 ft
- Significant1.9 ft
- Highest expectedHighest4.1 ft
One wave in seven is higher than the significant height, and about 3 times a day one reaches 4.1 ft. Before heading out, expect waves of up to 4.1 ft.
Wind on the coast and offshore
Cross-onshore wind. The coast faces southwest and the wind comes in from the sea at an angle: a bit more surf at the shore and drift along the coast, toward land.
Wave height, next 7 daysWaves, next 7 days
Waves build over the next few days. The biggest waves arrive on Sunday 1: 4.5 ft with a period of 5 s, from the west (moderate).
Water temperature
Water temperature →The satellite measured 3.2 °F more 2 days ago than the model gives now: the water is probably warmer than the forecast says.
Water temperature changes how fish behave: in very cold or very warm water they feed less. The water cools over the next few days: about 60.6 °F by Wednesday 4.
Water about normal for late October.

Your diving day at a glance
The best window, 9:30 am to 12:00 pm, combines slack water at low tide, little swell, light wind, weak current and the sun high. Also good from 3:40 pm to 5:00 pm, with slack water at high tide, little swell, light wind and weak 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.

Moon phase and position
Today the moon is 226,480 mi away and looks 32′ 46″ across.
Solunar periods
Today's activity: medium- 12:35–2:35 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity
- 1:07–3:07 pm Major · the moon passes underfoot · high activity
- 9:13–10:13 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.
