The best window, 7:00 pm to 8:10 pm, combines the 7:15 pm low tide, moonrise and falling pressure. Also worth a try from 6:00 am to 7:00 am, with the 6:33 am low tide and sunrise, though with rising pressure. Also good from 12:10 pm to 2:10 pm, with the 1:14 pm high tide and a major period.

Tide coefficient 91 for the 12:04 am high tide and 87 for the 1:14 pm high tide. Spring tides. The water rises and falls 12.7 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 July 14 (13.6 ft) and the lowest, on December 26 (-0.8 ft).

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

How we calculate the tide

Sea and waves

The sea at Kawanoe

7-day waves

Sea stateSea state: calm (rippled)

Calm (rippled) Douglas 1 · light breeze, Beaufort 2
Waves 0.3 ft · 2.2 s from the northeast (34°)
Swell 0.3 ft · 1.9 s from the northeast
Current 0.0 mph toward the E

The waves you may find

  • Most commonMost common0.1 ft
  • Significant0.3 ft
  • Highest expectedHighest0.6 ft

One wave in seven is higher than the significant height, and about 3 times a day one reaches 0.6 ft. Before heading out, expect waves of up to 0.6 ft.

Wind on the coast and offshore

On the coast 5 mph SSW · gusts 16
Offshore (4.6 mi WSW)Offshore 4 mph N · gusts 9

Cross-offshore wind. The coast faces northwest and the wind comes off the land at an angle: calmer water near the shore, and bait and boats drift out to sea.

Wave height, next 7 daysWaves, next 7 days

Waves stay much the same all week. The biggest waves arrive on Saturday 31: 1.3 ft with a period of 3 s, from the west-northwest (smooth).

Water temperature

Water now73.6 °F
Today 73.6–73.9 °F air: 44 / 72 °F
Satellite (2 days ago) 76.5 °F measured 0.5 mi away

The satellite measured 2.9 °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 71.5 °F by Wednesday 4.

Water warmer than normal for late October (+2.9 °F).

Your diving day at a glance

The best window, 12:20 pm to 2:10 pm, combines slack water at high tide, little swell, light wind, weak current and the sun high. Also good from 6:20 am to 7:10 am, with slack water at low 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.

Never dive alone and check with the local dive shop: this rating is a guide, not a substitute for a professional.

Solunar periods

Today's activity: medium
  • 1:07–3:07 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity
  • 1:39–3:39 pm Major · the moon passes underfoot · high activity
  • 9:17–10:17 am Minor · moonset · medium activity
  • 7:00–8:00 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.
