↓ Falling The tide is falling. 38 min to low tide at 10:20 am.
Tide coefficient 96 for the 5:47 am high tide and 92 for the 4:01 pm high tide. Spring tides. The water rises and falls 5.1 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 November 26 (5.2 ft) and the lowest, on December 24 (-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 11 to 12 (coefficient 104, 4.4 ft range). The smallest, on October 19 (coefficient 22, 2.3 ft).

Where this tide comes from
Mukawa has no station of its own, so we use the tide at Tomakomai-higashi (TICON-4), 6.0 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 Mukawa
Sea stateSea state: slight
The waves you may find
- Most commonMost common0.9 ft
- Significant1.7 ft
- Highest expectedHighest3.6 ft
One wave in seven is higher than the significant height, and about 3 times a day one reaches 3.6 ft. Before heading out, expect waves of up to 3.6 ft.
Wind on the coast and offshore
Onshore wind. The coast faces south and the wind blows straight in from the sea: more surf and backwash at the shore, and bait and boats drift toward land.
Wave height, next 7 daysWaves, next 7 days
Waves stay much the same all week. The biggest waves arrive on Friday 30: 5.4 ft with a period of 5 s, from the south (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 53.5 °F by Wednesday 4.
Water colder than normal for late October (−2.8 °F).

Surf in Mukawa today
Surf today
Poor- 1.2–1.8 ft surf at the shore, small: good for learning or a longboard
- 1.7 ft swell at 4 s from the west-southwest, short: weak, messy waves
- Almost no wind (2 mph): glassy water
- Falling tide (low tide at 10:20 am)
- Light: First light 5:33 am · sunrise 6:02 am · sunset 4:30 pm · last light 4:59 pm
- Tide: high 5:47 am (4.2 ft), low 10:20 am (3.1 ft), high 4:01 pm (5.2 ft) and low 11:24 pm (0.0 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 55.2 °F: a 5/4 fullsuit with booties (and a hood if it’s windy).
- Energy: 9 kJ · Low power
Today’s surf at a glance
The best window, 6:00 am to 10:00 am, has glassy water, though with a short-period swell. 12:00 pm to 4:00 pm can also work, though with small waves, a short-period swell, wind swell and onshore 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 Mukawa today
Diving and snorkeling today
Likely visibility: good- Slack water around low tide (10:20 am): little current from 9:50 am to 10:50 am
- 1.4 ft swell at 4 s from the west-southwest: barely any surge
- Light onshore wind (5 mph)
- 0.2 mph current toward the south-southeast, weak (model)
- Sun high: more light underwater

- Likely visibility: good. Swell (up to 3.9 ft at 6 s) over the last few days has stirred up the water. Based on the last 24 hours of data.
- Water at 55.2 °F: a 7 mm semi-dry suit, with hood, gloves and booties.
- Snorkeling: doable, with some waves or wind.
- Night dive: dark from 4:59 pm. Waning gibbous (88%), rising at 6:21 pm: a bright night.
Your diving day at a glance
The best window, 9:30 am to 11:40 am, combines slack water at low tide, little swell, light wind, weak current and the sun high. Also worth a look from 6:00 am to 6:40 am, with slack water at high tide and light wind, though with 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- 12:32–2:32 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity
- 1:04–3:04 pm Major · the moon passes underfoot · high activity
- 9:15–10:15 am Minor · moonset · medium activity
- 5:51–6:51 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 0.4 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 1.5 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).
