Tides in Okushiri
Today's high and low tides
- ▲ High tide 3:36 am 1.0 ft
- ▼ Next low tide 11:13 am 0.1 ft
- ▲ High tide 6:40 pm 0.9 ft
- ▼ Low tide 10:47 pm 0.8 ft
↓ Falling The tide is falling. 23 min to low tide at 11:13 am.
In Okushiri the astronomical tide is very small: about 0.9 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 July 15 (1.4 ft) and the lowest, on March 21 (-0.3 ft).
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

Tides from the Okushiri station (MLIT, TICON-4), 0.3 mi from Okushiri. Times and heights are its predictions.

The sea at Okushiri
Sea stateSea state: moderate
The waves you may find
- Most commonMost common3.1 ft
- Significant6.2 ft
- Highest expectedHighest13 ft
One wave in seven is higher than the significant height, and about 3 times a day one reaches 13 ft. Before heading out, expect waves of up to 13 ft.
Wind on the coast and offshore
The model doesn't separate offshore wind here: it's the same as on the coast.
Cross-onshore wind. The coast faces southeast and the wind comes in from the sea at an angle: a bit more surf at the shore and drift along the coast, toward land.
Wave height, next 7 daysWaves, next 7 days
Waves stay much the same all week. The biggest waves arrive on Sunday 1: 11 ft with a period of 7 s, from the west-northwest (rough).
Water temperature
Water temperature →The satellite measured 5.8 °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 55.9 °F by Wednesday 4.
Water colder than normal for late October (−3.1 °F).

Surf in Okushiri today
Surf today
Poor- 1.7–2.6 ft surf at the shore, a fun size for most surfers
- 5.6 ft swell at 6 s from the west, short: weak, messy waves; it hits this coast at an angle
- Moderate offshore wind (14 mph): it holds up and grooms the waves
- Light: First light 5:42 am · sunrise 6:11 am · sunset 4:40 pm · last light 5:09 pm
- Tide: We don’t have a reliable tide to show here.
- Water at 57.4 °F: a 4/3 fullsuit (booties if you run cold).
- Energy: 226 kJ · Medium power
Today’s surf at a glance
The best window, 6:00 am to 7:00 am, has 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.
Diving in Okushiri today
Diving and snorkeling today
Likely visibility: poor- 5.2 ft swell at 6 s from the west: strong surge on the bottom
- Moderate cross-shore wind (14 mph)
- 1.1 mph current toward the south-southeast (model)
- Daylight
- Slack water today: none; the tide doesn't count here
- Likely visibility: poor. Swell (up to 5.8 ft at 9 s), rain (0.33 in) and wind over the last few days have stirred up the water. Based on the last 24 hours of data.
- Water at 57.4 °F: a 7 mm wetsuit, with hood and booties.
- Snorkeling: better not, with these waves, wind or current.
- Night dive: dark from 5:09 pm. Waning gibbous (88%), rising at 6:33 pm: a bright night.
Your diving day at a glance
The best window runs from 6:10 am to 7:30 am, though with some swell, moderate wind and current. Also worth a look from 8:30 am to 10:30 am, with the sun high, though with some swell, fresh wind and current. Also worth a look from 11:30 am to 1:30 pm, with the sun high, though with some swell, strong wind and current.
In Okushiri 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.

The moon in Okushiri
Moon phase and position
Today the moon is 226,480 mi away and looks 32′ 46″ across.
Solunar periods
Today's activity: medium- 12:42–2:42 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity
- 1:14–3:14 pm Major · the moon passes underfoot · high activity
- 9:24–10:24 am Minor · moonset · medium activity
- 6:03–7:03 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
Drops off fastThe bottom drops off fast: the water is 33 ft deep just 30 ft from shore. It reaches 164 ft at 130 ft.
From the shoreline (0.4 mi from Okushiri) out to sea, heading southeast.
How far from shore
- 16 ft deep10 ft
- 33 ft deep30 ft
- 66 ft deep50 ft
- 164 ft deep130 ft
For fishing, swimming and diving
- Shore fishing. Deep water close in: about 247 ft just 330 ft out. Good for casting from rocks, jetties or the beach itself; current and surf hit harder here.
- Swimming. The bottom drops quickly near the shore and you are soon out of your depth. Keep an eye on kids and weak swimmers.
- Diving. Shore diving works here: 33 ft at 30 ft and 66 ft at 50 ft 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.
