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

Where this tide comes from
Ōma has no station of its own, so we use the tide at Oma (JMA), 0.7 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.

The sea at Ōma
Sea stateSea state: slight
The waves you may find
- Most commonMost common1.2 ft
- Significant2.4 ft
- Highest expectedHighest5.1 ft
One wave in seven is higher than the significant height, and about 3 times a day one reaches 5.1 ft. Before heading out, expect waves of up to 5.1 ft.
Wind on the coast and offshore
Offshore wind. The coast faces northwest and the wind blows from land out to sea: calm shore and clean waves, but watch the drift out to sea.
Wave height, next 7 daysWaves, next 7 days
Waves build over the next few days. The biggest waves arrive on Sunday 1: 6.4 ft with a period of 6 s, from the west (moderate).
Water temperature
Water temperature →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 66.3 °F by Wednesday 4.
Water warmer than normal for late October (+4.6 °F).

Surf in Ōma today
Surf today
Poor- 1.3–2.0 ft surf at the shore, a fun size for most surfers
- 1.8 ft swell at 6 s from the west-southwest, short: weak, messy waves
- Light offshore wind (11 mph): it holds up and grooms the waves
- Rising tide (high tide at 4:14 pm)
- Light: First light 5:35 am · sunrise 6:04 am · sunset 4:36 pm · last light 5:04 pm
- Tide: high 5:16 am (2.8 ft), low 10:31 am (1.6 ft), high 4:14 pm (3.0 ft) and low 11:29 pm (0.3 ft). Every break has its own tide: some work at low tide and others at high tide. The tide doesn’t change the score here.
- Water at 67.5 °F: a springsuit or a 2 mm fullsuit.
- Energy: 19 kJ · Low power
Today’s surf at a glance
The best window, 1:00 pm to 5:00 pm, has light offshore wind, though with a short-period swell. 6:00 am to 10:00 am can also work, with a good size, though with a short-period swell.
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.

- Likely visibility: good. Swell (up to 3.0 ft at 9 s) over the last few days has stirred up the water. Based on the last 24 hours of data.
- Water at 67.5 °F: a 5 mm wetsuit.
- Snorkeling: doable, with some waves or wind.
- Night dive: dark from 5:04 pm. Waning gibbous (88%), rising at 6:30 pm: a bright night.
Your diving day at a glance
The best window, 3:30 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.
Never dive alone and check with the local dive shop: this rating is a guide, not a substitute for a professional.

Moon phase and position
Today the moon is 226,480 mi away and looks 32′ 46″ across.
Solunar periods
Today's activity: medium- 12:36–2:36 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity
- 1:09–3:09 pm Major · the moon passes underfoot · 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

- 33 ft deep0.75 mi
- 66 ft deep1.5 mi
- 164 ft deep3 mi
For fishing, swimming and diving
- Shore fishing. Shallow, gradual bottom (16 ft at 0.35 mi): cast far from the beach and fish the high tide, when there is more water close in.
- Swimming. A very gentle way in with plenty of shallow water, good for kids. At low tide the water can be far out.
- Diving. Shallow near shore: you only reach 33 ft at 0.75 mi. For dives deeper than 33 ft, go by boat.
Rough estimate: here the data comes in cells of about 0.3 mi and misses details near shore (rocks, sandbars, small coves).
