The best window, 12:40 am to 1:20 am, combines the 12:21 am low tide, a major period and some swell, though with rising pressure. Also worth a try from 11:30 am to 1:30 pm, with the 12:31 pm low tide, a major period, a light onshore breeze and some swell, though with rising pressure. Also worth a try from 6:10 am to 8:10 am, with the 7:09 am high tide, sunrise, a light onshore breeze and some swell, though with rising pressure.

The water rises and falls 6.6 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 August 14 (7.0 ft) and the lowest, on December 24 (-0.8 ft).

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

Where this tide comes from

B · Nearby station

Ushigome has no station of its own, so we use the tide at Chiba Port (JMA), 19 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 Ushigome

7-day waves

Sea stateSea state: slight

Slight Douglas 3 · moderate breeze, Beaufort 4
Waves 3.1 ft · 6.8 s from the east (85°)
Swell 1.8 ft · 6.7 s from the east-northeast

The waves you may find

  • Most commonMost common1.5 ft

  • Highest expectedHighest6.2 ft

One wave in seven is higher than the significant height, and about 3 times a day one reaches 6.2 ft. Before heading out, expect waves of up to 6.2 ft.

Wind on the coast and offshore

Offshore (6.6 mi ENE)Offshore 15 mph ENE · gusts 23

Cross-onshore wind. The coast faces east 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.

Water warmer than normal for late October (+2.5 °F).

Today’s surf at a glance

The best window is 6:00 am to 10:00 am, though with a short-period swell. 2:00 pm to 5:00 pm can also work, 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.

Your diving day at a glance

The best window, 11:20 am to 1:40 pm, combines slack water at low tide, light wind, weak current and the sun high. Also good from 6:30 am to 8:00 am, with slack water at high tide, 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.

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
  • 8:54–9:54 am Minor · moonset · medium activity
  • 6:26–7:26 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

Shallow, gradual

Shallow, gradual bottom: you need to go 1.2 mi out for 33 ft of water.

From the shoreline (1.1 mi from Ushigome) out to sea, heading east.

How far from shore

  • 16 ft deep0.4 mi
  • 33 ft deep1.2 mi
  • 66 ft deepnot within 3.1 mi
  • 164 ft deepnot within 3.1 mi

For fishing, swimming and diving

  • Shore fishing. Shallow, gradual bottom (16 ft at 0.4 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 1.2 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).
