- ▼ Low tide 5:08 pm 2.6 ft
- ▲ High tide 11:21 pm 6.6 ft · coef. 85
↑ Rising The tide is rising. 3 h 0 min to high tide at 12:00 pm.
Tide coefficient 91 for the 12:00 pm high tide and 85 for the 11:21 pm high tide. Spring tides. The water rises and falls 6.1 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 13 (7.5 ft) and the lowest, on December 25 (-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
Tide coefficient and range in October
The biggest tides of the month came from October 26 to 27 (coefficient 106, 6.5 ft range). The smallest, on October 19 (coefficient 21, 2.1 ft).

Where this tide comes from
Nishifukuma has no station of its own, so we use the tide at Hakata (Japan Coast Guard), 11 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 Nishifukuma
Sea stateSea state: slight
The waves you may find
- Most commonMost common1.0 ft
- Significant2.1 ft
- Highest expectedHighest4.3 ft
One wave in seven is higher than the significant height, and about 3 times a day one reaches 4.3 ft. Before heading out, expect waves of up to 4.3 ft.
Wind on the coast and offshore
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 Tuesday 3: 3.9 ft with a period of 5 s, from the north (slight).
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 71.1 °F by Wednesday 4.
Water warmer than normal for late October (+3.5 °F).

Surf in Nishifukuma today
Surf today
Poor- 1.5–2.3 ft surf at the shore, a fun size for most surfers
- 2.3 ft swell at 6 s from the north-northeast, short: weak, messy waves
- Light offshore wind (5 mph): it holds up and grooms the waves
- First or last light of the day
- Rising tide (high tide at 12:00 pm)
- Light: First light 6:09 am · sunrise 6:34 am · sunset 5:29 pm · last light 5:55 pm
- Tide: low 5:14 am (0.5 ft), high 12:00 pm (5.9 ft), low 5:08 pm (2.6 ft) and high 11:21 pm (6.6 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 72.1 °F: a rash guard or a neoprene top.
- Energy: 39 kJ · Low power
Today’s surf at a glance
The best window, 6:09 am to 10:00 am, has light offshore wind, though with a short-period swell. 1:00 pm to 3:00 pm can also work, with glassy water, 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, 4:10 pm to 5:30 pm, combines slack water at low tide, little swell, light wind and weak current. Also good from 11:10 am to 12:50 pm, with slack water at high tide, light wind, weak current and the sun high.
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- 1:20–3:20 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity
- 1:52–3:52 pm Major · the moon passes underfoot · high activity
- 9:30–10:30 am Minor · moonset · medium activity
- 7:13–8:13 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.

- 16 ft deep0.4 mi
- 33 ft deep2.1 mi
- 66 ft deep2.9 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 2.1 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).
