2026 extremes: the highest tide of the year is on December 25 (4.7 ft) and the lowest, on May 19 (-0.4 ft).
Mixed, mainly diurnal: on many days there is only one high and one low tide.

Where this tide comes from
Shibetsu has no station of its own, so we use the tide at Rausu (JMA), 25 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 Shibetsu
Sea stateSea state: slight
The waves you may find
- Most commonMost common0.9 ft
- Significant1.8 ft
- Highest expectedHighest3.7 ft
One wave in seven is higher than the significant height, and about 3 times a day one reaches 3.7 ft. Before heading out, expect waves of up to 3.7 ft.
Wind on the coast and offshore
Offshore wind. The coast faces northeast 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: 3.1 ft with a period of 6 s, from the north-northwest (slight).
Water temperature
Water temperature →The satellite measured 3.2 °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 53.5 °F by Wednesday 4.
Water warmer than normal for late October (+2.2 °F).

Surf in Shibetsu today
Surf today
Fair- 1.7–2.6 ft surf at the shore, a fun size for most surfers
- 1.8 ft swell at 9 s from the north, a bit short
- Light offshore wind (5 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 4:15 pm · last light 4:45 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 56.1 °F: a 5/4 fullsuit with booties (and a hood if it’s windy).
- Energy: 46 kJ · Low power
Today’s surf at a glance
The best window, 5:21 am to 9:00 am, has light offshore 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.

Your diving day at a glance
The best window, 6:30 am to 9:10 am, combines light wind and weak current. Also good from 3:20 pm to 4:10 pm, with slack water at high tide, light wind and weak 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.

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
- 9:07–10:07 am Minor · moonset · medium activity
- 5:33–6:33 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
Shallow, gradualShallow, gradual bottom: you need to go 1.4 mi out for 33 ft of water. Right off the beach it already drops to about 12 ft.
From the shoreline (1,100 ft from Shibetsu) out to sea, heading northeast.
How far from shore
- 16 ft deep0.35 mi
- 33 ft deep1.4 mi
- 66 ft deepnot within 3.1 mi
- 164 ft deepnot within 3.1 mi
For fishing, swimming and diving
- Shore fishing. About 12 ft of water 330 ft out: long casts help, and so does a rising tide, which brings fish closer in.
- 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. Shallow near shore: you only reach 33 ft at 1.4 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).
Source: NOAA ETOPO 2022 (CC0), cells of about 0.3 mi; depth below mean sea level. For reference only: not for navigation or anchoring.
