  • Swimming Use care · 6.4 ft

    6.4 ft waves every 8 s: swim with care and stay where you can stand. High rip current risk. If you're caught in a rip current, don't swim against it: swim parallel to shore and wave for help. Always follow the lifeguard's flags.

  • Water 64 °F

    Cold: ease in slowly.

  • Sun & sunscreen UV 3 · SPF 15

    Max UV 3 (low): SPF 15 sunscreen.

  • Wind 9 mph

    Offshore breeze (9 mph). Watch floats and inflatables: offshore wind carries them out to sea.

  • Tide & sand

    We don't show the tide for Tsugaru, so it doesn't count in the rating.

We don't have data on jellyfish, sargassum or beach closures: ask the lifeguard or check with the local beach authority. How it works · The next 7 days

Today’s surf at a glance

The best window, 6:00 am to 10:00 am, has a good size and glassy water, though with a short-period swell. 2:00 pm to 4:00 pm can also work, with a good size and light offshore wind, 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.

Solunar periods

Today's activity: medium
  • 12:39–2:39 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity
  • 1:11–3:11 pm Major · the moon passes underfoot · high activity
  • 9:14–10:14 am Minor · moonset · medium activity
  • 6:05–7:05 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.
