Today's high and low tides

  • ▼ Low tide 6:00 am 0.4 ft
  • ▼ Low tide 6:45 pm 4.4 ft

↑ Rising The tide is rising. 4 h 25 min to high tide at 12:48 pm.

Tide coefficient 85 for the 12:48 pm high tide. Average coefficient. The water rises and falls 11.7 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 August 13 (12.6 ft) and the lowest, on December 25 (-0.8 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 25 to 27 (coefficient 95, 11.8 ft range). The smallest, from October 19 to 20 (coefficient 34, 5.6 ft).

Where this tide comes from

B · Nearby station

Innoshima has no station of its own, so we use the tide at Itosaki (JMA), 9.9 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 Innoshima

7-day waves

Sea stateSea state: smooth

Smooth Douglas 2 · gentle breeze, Beaufort 3
Waves 0.6 ft · 2.4 s from the east (80°)
Swell 0.4 ft · 2.2 s from the east
Current 1.3 mph toward the ENE

The waves you may find

  • Most commonMost common0.3 ft
  • Significant0.6 ft
  • Highest expectedHighest1.3 ft

One wave in seven is higher than the significant height, and about 3 times a day one reaches 1.3 ft. Before heading out, expect waves of up to 1.3 ft.

Wind on the coast and offshore

On the coast 7 mph NE · gusts 15
Offshore (4.4 mi ESE)Offshore 12 mph ENE · gusts 19

Cross-offshore wind. The coast faces south 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 build over the next few days. The biggest waves arrive on Monday 2: 1.9 ft with a period of 3 s, from the southwest (slight).

Water temperature

Water now72.3 °F
Today 72.3–72.7 °F air: 52 / 69 °F
Satellite (2 days ago) 75.4 °F measured 0.3 mi away

The satellite measured 3.1 °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 70.7 °F by Wednesday 4.

Water warmer than normal for late October (+1.7 °F).

Your diving day at a glance

The best window, 11:50 am to 1:30 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 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
  • 1:09–3:09 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity
  • 1:41–3:41 pm Major · the moon passes underfoot · high activity
  • 9:20–10:20 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.
