  • ▲ High tide 11:06 pm 5.4 ft · coef. 84

↓ Falling The tide is falling. 3 h 8 min to low tide at 5:03 pm.

Tide coefficient 90 for the 11:49 am high tide and 84 for the 11:06 pm high tide. Spring tides. The water rises and falls 4.8 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 (6.1 ft) and the lowest, on December 25 (-0.3 ft).

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

Heights above chart datum (CD), the zero of that port's nautical charts. Astronomical prediction: wind and air pressure can raise or lower the water by a few inches, and more in a storm. Not for navigation. chart datum (CD)

Tide coefficient and range in October

The biggest tides of the month came from October 26 to 27 (coefficient 105, 5.1 ft range). The smallest, on October 19 (coefficient 22, 1.6 ft).

Where this tide comes from

B · Nearby station

Yurigaoka has no station of its own, so we use the tide at Sunatsu (JMA), 15 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.

How we calculate the tide

Sea and waves

The sea at Yurigaoka

7-day waves

Sea stateSea state: slight

Slight Douglas 3 · gentle breeze, Beaufort 3
Waves 2.0 ft · 7.1 s from the north (6°)
Swell 2.0 ft · 6.1 s from the north
Current 0.6 mph toward the NE

The waves you may find

  • Most commonMost common1.0 ft
  • Significant2.0 ft
  • Highest expectedHighest4.0 ft

One wave in seven is higher than the significant height, and about 3 times a day one reaches 4.0 ft. Before heading out, expect waves of up to 4.0 ft.

Wind on the coast and offshore

On the coast 4 mph SW · gusts 15
Offshore (13 mi NNE)Offshore 8 mph WSW · gusts 14

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

Today’s surf at a glance

The best window, 6:08 am to 10:00 am, has a good size and glassy water, though with a short-period swell. 12:00 pm to 3:00 pm can also work, with 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.

Your diving day at a glance

The best window, 11:00 am to 12:30 pm, combines slack water at high tide, light wind, weak current and the sun high. Also good from 4:10 pm to 5:30 pm, with slack water at low 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
  • 1:19–3:19 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity
  • 1:52–3:52 pm Major · the moon passes underfoot · high activity
  • 9:29–10:29 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.

Water depth

Gentle slope

The bottom slopes gently: 16 ft deep 0.3 mi from shore and 33 ft at 0.6 mi.

From the shoreline (2.4 mi from Yurigaoka) out to sea, heading north.

How far from shore

  • 16 ft deep0.3 mi
  • 33 ft deep0.6 mi
  • 66 ft deep1.5 mi
  • 164 ft deepnot within 3.1 mi

For fishing, swimming and diving

  • Shore fishing. Shallow, gradual bottom (16 ft at 0.3 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. 33 ft deep 0.6 mi from shore; 66 ft is far out (1.5 mi): for deeper dives, 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).
