Tide coefficient 95 for the 5:50 am high tide and 91 for the 3:51 pm high tide. Spring tides. The water rises and falls 4.9 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 December 25 (4.9 ft) and the lowest, on May 18 (-0.6 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 11 to 12 (coefficient 103, 4.3 ft range). The smallest, on October 19 (coefficient 23, 2.2 ft).

Where this tide comes from

B · Nearby station

Erimo has no station of its own, so we use the tide at Tokachi (TICON-4), 21 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 Erimo

7-day waves

Sea stateSea state: slight

Slight Douglas 3 · moderate breeze, Beaufort 4
Waves 3.0 ft · 6.2 s from the west-southwest (240°)
Swell 2.3 ft · 4.3 s from the west
Current 0.4 mph toward the NW

The waves you may find

  • Most commonMost common1.5 ft
  • Significant3.0 ft
  • Highest expectedHighest6.1 ft

One wave in seven is higher than the significant height, and about 3 times a day one reaches 6.1 ft. Before heading out, expect waves of up to 6.1 ft.

Wind on the coast and offshore

On the coast 13 mph SW · gusts 22

The model doesn't separate offshore wind here: it's the same as on the coast.

Onshore wind. The coast faces southwest and the wind blows straight in from the sea: more surf and backwash at the shore, and bait and boats drift toward land.

Water colder than normal for late October (−1.7 °F).

Today’s surf at a glance

The best window, 5:27 am to 7:00 am, has a good size, though with a short-period swell and cross-shore wind. 8:00 am to 10:00 am can also work, with a good size, 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, 9:10 am to 11:10 am, combines slack water at low tide, light wind, weak current and the sun high, though with some swell. Also worth a look from 2:50 pm to 4:20 pm, with slack water at high tide and weak current, though with moderate wind.

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
  • 12:27–2:27 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity
  • 12:59–2:59 pm Major · the moon passes underfoot · high activity
  • 9:08–10:08 am Minor · moonset · medium activity
  • 5:49–6:49 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 1,100 ft from shore and 33 ft at 0.5 mi.

From the shoreline (700 ft from Erimo) out to sea, heading southwest.

How far from shore

  • 16 ft deep1,100 ft
  • 33 ft deep0.5 mi
  • 66 ft deep0.85 mi
  • 164 ft deepnot within 3.1 mi

For fishing, swimming and diving

  • Shore fishing. Shallow, gradual bottom (16 ft at 1,100 ft): 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. Shore diving works here: 33 ft at 0.5 mi and 66 ft at 0.85 mi from shore.

Rough estimate: here the data comes in cells of about 0.3 mi and misses details near shore (rocks, sandbars, small coves).
