Tides

Tides in Nagatoyomachi

Today's high and low tides

  • ▲ High tide 3:42 am 1.1 ft
  • ▼ Low tide 11:14 am 0.3 ft
  • ▼ Low tide 10:44 pm 0.8 ft

↑ Rising The tide is rising. 3 h 27 min to high tide at 6:40 pm.

In Nagatoyomachi the astronomical tide is very small: about 0.8 ft between high and low tide. Here the sea level is moved mostly by wind and air pressure (storm surge), which can raise or lower it more than the tide itself.

2026 extremes: the highest tide of the year is on August 13 (1.3 ft) and the lowest, on March 22 (-0.4 ft).

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)

Where this tide comes from

No significant tide

Tides from the Suttsu station (JMA), 11 mi from Nagatoyomachi. Times and heights are its predictions.

How we calculate the tide

Sea and waves

The sea at Nagatoyomachi

7-day waves

Sea stateSea state: moderate

Moderate Douglas 4 · moderate breeze, Beaufort 4
Waves 5.5 ft · 6.6 s from the west (259°)
Swell 4.8 ft · 5.6 s from the west-southwest
Current 0.2 mph toward the W

The waves you may find

  • Most commonMost common2.8 ft
  • Significant5.5 ft
  • Highest expectedHighest11 ft

One wave in seven is higher than the significant height, and about 3 times a day one reaches 11 ft. Before heading out, expect waves of up to 11 ft.

Wind on the coast and offshore

On the coast 9 mph SSE · gusts 24
Offshore (4.7 mi NW)Offshore 13 mph SSW · gusts 20

Offshore wind. The coast faces northwest and the wind blows from land out to sea: calm shore and clean waves, but watch the drift out to sea.

Wave height, next 7 daysWaves, next 7 days

Waves stay much the same all week. The biggest waves arrive on Thursday 29: 11 ft with a period of 8 s, from the west-northwest (rough).

Water temperature

Water now57.7 °F
Today 57.6–57.9 °F air: 40 / 53 °F
Satellite (2 days ago) 60.4 °F measured 0.6 mi away

The satellite measured 2.7 °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 56.1 °F by Wednesday 4.

Today’s surf at a glance

The best window, 7:00 am to 11:00 am, has a good size and glassy water, though with a short-period swell. 2:00 pm to 5:00 pm can also work, with a good size and 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, 8:30 am to 11:30 am, combines light wind, weak current and the sun high, though with some swell. Also worth a look from 6:10 am to 7:30 am, with light wind and weak current, though with some swell.

In Nagatoyomachi the tide barely moves the water, so there's no slack to wait for: swell, wind and current are what count.

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
  • 12:40–2:40 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity
  • 1:12–3:12 pm Major · the moon passes underfoot · high activity
  • 9:24–10:24 am Minor · moonset · medium activity
  • 5:58–6:58 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 0.25 mi from shore and 33 ft at 0.35 mi. It reaches 164 ft at 1.5 mi.

From the shoreline (1,000 ft from Nagatoyomachi) out to sea, heading northwest.

How far from shore

  • 16 ft deep0.25 mi
  • 33 ft deep0.35 mi
  • 66 ft deep0.9 mi
  • 164 ft deep1.5 mi

For fishing, swimming and diving

  • Shore fishing. Shallow, gradual bottom (16 ft at 0.25 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. Shore diving works here: 33 ft at 0.35 mi and 66 ft at 0.9 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).

Source: NOAA ETOPO 2022 (CC0), cells of about 0.3 mi; depth below mean sea level. For reference only: not for navigation or anchoring.
