- ▼ Next low tide 12:02 pm 0.2 ft
↓ Falling The tide is falling. 32 min to low tide at 12:02 pm.
Tide coefficient 108 for the 4:26 am high tide. Big spring tides. The water rises and falls 0.8 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 August 10 (1.3 ft) and the lowest, on February 18 (-0.3 ft).
Mixed, mainly diurnal: on many days there is only one high and one low tide.
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 come from October 30 to 31 (coefficient 114, 0.9 ft range). The smallest, on October 24 (coefficient 20, 0.3 ft).

Where this tide comes from
Oshidomari has no station of its own, so we use the tide at Kutsugata (TICON-4), 5.1 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 Oshidomari
Sea stateSea state: moderate
The waves you may find
- Most commonMost common2.9 ft
- Significant5.7 ft
- Highest expectedHighest12 ft
One wave in seven is higher than the significant height, and about 3 times a day one reaches 12 ft. Before heading out, expect waves of up to 12 ft.
Wind on the coast and offshore
The model doesn't separate offshore wind here: it's the same as on the coast.
Cross-offshore wind. The coast faces north 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 Sunday 1: 9.6 ft with a period of 7 s, from the west-northwest (rough).
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 54.0 °F by Wednesday 4.
Water colder than normal for late October (−2.1 °F).

Surf in Oshidomari today
Surf today
Fair- 1.8–2.7 ft surf at the shore, a fun size for most surfers
- 4.3 ft swell at 6 s from the west-southwest, short: weak, messy waves; it hits this coast at an angle
- Light offshore wind (9 mph): it holds up and grooms the waves
- Falling tide (low tide at 12:02 pm)
- Light: First light 5:39 am · sunrise 6:09 am · sunset 4:28 pm · last light 4:58 pm
- Tide: low 1:31 am (0.9 ft), high 4:26 am (1.0 ft) and low 12:02 pm (0.2 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 56.1 °F: a 5/4 fullsuit with booties (and a hood if it’s windy).
- Energy: 136 kJ · Medium power
Today’s surf at a glance
The best window, 11:00 am to 1:00 pm, has a good size and light offshore wind, though with a short-period swell. 4:00 pm to 4:58 pm can also work, with light offshore wind, though with a short-period swell and wind 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 Oshidomari today
Diving and snorkeling today
Likely visibility: poor- Slack water around low tide (12:02 pm): little current from 11:40 am to 12:20 pm
- 4.1 ft swell at 6 s from the west-southwest: some surge on the bottom
- Light offshore wind (7 mph)
- 0.4 mph current toward the north, weak (model)
- Sun high: more light underwater
- Slack water today: low tide 1:31 am (12:10–2:10 am), high tide 4:26 am (4:10–4:41 am), low tide 12:02 pm (11:40 am–12:20 pm) and high tide 12:30 am (11:30 pm–2:00 am)
- Likely visibility: poor. Swell (up to 6.2 ft at 7 s), rain (1.16 in) and wind over the last few days have stirred up the water. Based on the last 24 hours of data.
- Water at 56.1 °F: a 7 mm semi-dry suit, with hood, gloves and booties.
- Snorkeling: better not, with these waves, wind or current.
- Night dive: dark from 4:58 pm. Waning gibbous (88%), rising at 6:11 pm: a bright night.
Your diving day at a glance
The best window, 11:20 am to 12:50 pm, combines slack water at low tide, light wind, weak current and the sun high, though with some swell.
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- 12:35–2:35 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity
- 1:07–3:07 pm Major · the moon passes underfoot · high activity
- 9:31–10:31 am Minor · moonset · medium activity
- 5:41–6:41 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 600 ft from shore. It reaches 164 ft at 0.9 mi.
From the shoreline (0.85 mi from Oshidomari) out to sea, heading north.

- 66 ft deep0.3 mi
- 164 ft deep0.9 mi
For fishing, swimming and diving
- Shore fishing. Deep water close in: about 15 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 600 ft and 66 ft at 0.3 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).
