Where this tide comes from
Tides from the Rausu station (JMA), 0.4 mi from Rausu. Times and heights are its predictions.

The sea at Rausu
Sea stateSea state: moderate
The waves you may find
- Most commonMost common2.4 ft
- Significant4.8 ft
- Highest expectedHighest9.7 ft
One wave in seven is higher than the significant height, and about 3 times a day one reaches 9.7 ft. Before heading out, expect waves of up to 9.7 ft.
Wind on the coast and offshore
The model doesn't separate offshore wind here: it's the same as on the coast.
Offshore wind. The coast faces east 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 ease over the next few days. The biggest waves arrive on Thursday 29: 7.3 ft with a period of 8 s, from the north-northwest (moderate).
Water temperature
Water temperature →The satellite measured 3.6 °F less 2 days ago than the model gives now: the water is probably colder 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 54.3 °F by Wednesday 4.
Water colder than normal for late October (−0.9 °F).

Surf in Rausu today
Surf today
Good- 2.4–3.7 ft surf at the shore, a fun size for most surfers
- 4.9 ft swell at 8 s from the north-northeast, a bit short; it hits this coast at an angle
- Light offshore wind (8 mph): it holds up and grooms the waves
- First or last light of the day
- Falling tide (high tide at 3:33 pm)
- Light: First light 5:21 am · sunrise 5:51 am · sunset 4:14 pm · last light 4:44 pm
- Tide: high 3:33 pm (4.2 ft) and low 11:47 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 55.6 °F: a 5/4 fullsuit with booties (and a hood if it’s windy).
- Energy: 299 kJ · Medium power
Today’s surf at a glance
The best window, 5:21 am to 9:00 am, has a good size and light offshore wind. 1:00 pm to 2:00 pm also works, with a good size and glassy water.
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 Rausu today
Diving and snorkeling today
Likely visibility: poor- Slack water around high tide (3:33 pm): little current from 3:18 pm to 3:48 pm
- 3.6 ft swell at 7 s from the north-northeast: some surge on the bottom
- Light onshore wind (12 mph)
- 0.4 mph current toward the southwest, weak (model)
- Daylight
- Slack water today: high tide 3:33 pm (3:18–3:48 pm) and low tide 11:47 pm (11:32 pm–12:02 am)
- Likely visibility: poor. Swell (up to 5.6 ft at 8 s), rain (0.58 in) and wind over the last few days have stirred up the water. Based on the last 24 hours of data.
- Water at 55.6 °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 4:44 pm. Waning gibbous (88%), rising at 6:01 pm: a bright night.
Your diving day at a glance
The best window, 3:20 pm to 4:00 pm, combines slack water at high tide, light wind and weak current, though with some swell. Also worth a look from 5:50 am to 8:50 am, with light wind and weak current, 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.

Moon phase and position
Today the moon is 226,480 mi away and looks 32′ 46″ across.
Solunar periods
Today's activity: medium- 12:19–2:19 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity
- 12:51–2:51 pm Major · the moon passes underfoot · high activity
- 9:08–10:08 am Minor · moonset · medium activity
- 5:31–6:31 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. 33 ft of water just 1,000 ft from shore: a good cast reaches deep water. Current and surf hit harder here.
- Swimming. The water gets deeper little by little, but a few dozen yards out you can no longer stand.
- Diving. Shore diving works here: 33 ft at 1,000 ft and 66 ft at 0.45 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).
