Tides in Hiroo
Today's high and low tides
- ▲ High tide 5:50 am 3.9 ft · coef. 95
- ▼ Low tide 10:14 am 2.9 ft
- ▲ Next high tide 3:51 pm 4.8 ft · coef. 91
- ▼ Low tide 11:27 pm -0.1 ft
↑ Rising The tide is rising. 24 min to high tide at 3:51 pm.
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
Tides from the Tokachi station (TICON-4), 1.6 mi from Hiroo. Times and heights are its predictions.

The sea at Hiroo
Sea stateSea state: slight
The waves you may find
- Most commonMost common1.4 ft
- Significant2.7 ft
- Highest expectedHighest5.5 ft
One wave in seven is higher than the significant height, and about 3 times a day one reaches 5.5 ft. Before heading out, expect waves of up to 5.5 ft.
Wind on the coast and offshore
Cross-offshore wind. The coast faces east 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: 5.4 ft with a period of 8 s, from the south-southeast (moderate).
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 55.8 °F by Wednesday 4.

Surf in Hiroo today
Surf today
Good- 1.8–2.8 ft surf at the shore, a fun size for most surfers
- 1.7 ft swell at 10 s from the east, average
- Light offshore wind (5 mph): it holds up and grooms the waves
- Falling tide (low tide at 10:14 am)
- Light: First light 5:27 am · sunrise 5:56 am · sunset 4:25 pm · last light 4:54 pm
- Tide: high 5:50 am (3.9 ft), low 10:14 am (2.9 ft), high 3:51 pm (4.8 ft) and low 11:27 pm (-0.1 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 57.7 °F: a 4/3 fullsuit (booties if you run cold).
- Energy: 56 kJ · Low power
Today’s surf at a glance
The best window, 8:00 am to 12:00 pm, has light offshore wind.
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.
Diving in Hiroo today
Diving and snorkeling today
Likely visibility: good- Slack water around low tide (10:14 am): little current from 9:40 am to 10:50 am
- 1.8 ft swell at 10 s from the east: some surge on the bottom
- Light offshore wind (6 mph)
- 0.5 mph current toward the north-northeast, weak (model)
- Sun high: more light underwater
- Slack water today: high tide 5:50 am (5:20–6:20 am), low tide 10:14 am (9:40–10:50 am), high tide 3:51 pm (3:30–4:10 pm) and low tide 11:27 pm (11:10–11:42 pm)
- Likely visibility: good. Swell (up to 1.9 ft at 10 s) over the last few days has stirred up the water. Based on the last 24 hours of data.
- Water at 57.7 °F: a 7 mm wetsuit, with hood and booties.
- Snorkeling: doable, with some waves or wind.
- Night dive: dark from 4:54 pm. Waning gibbous (88%), rising at 6:17 pm: a bright night.
Your diving day at a glance
The best window, 8:30 am to 11:30 am, combines slack water at low tide, light wind, weak current and the sun high. Also good from 3:10 pm to 4:20 pm, with slack water at high tide, light wind and weak current. Also good from 6:00 am to 6:50 am, with slack water at high 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.
Never dive alone and check with the local dive shop: this rating is a guide, not a substitute for a professional.

Moon phase and position
Today the moon is 226,480 mi away and looks 32′ 46″ across.
Solunar periods
Today's activity: medium- 12:26–2:26 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
- 5:47–6:47 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.

For fishing, swimming and diving
- Shore fishing. Shallow, gradual bottom (16 ft at 0.45 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 0.65 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).
