↑ Rising The tide is rising. 2 h 23 min to high tide at 3:42 pm.
Tide coefficient 95 for the 5:48 am high tide and 91 for the 3:42 pm high tide. Spring tides. The water rises and falls 4.9 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 December 25 (5.1 ft) and the lowest, on June 16 (-0.5 ft).
Mixed: two high and two low tides a day, but of quite different heights.
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 came from October 11 to 12 (coefficient 104, 4.2 ft range). The smallest, from October 19 to 20 (coefficient 23, 2.5 ft).

Where this tide comes from
Shiranuka has no station of its own, so we use the tide at Kushiro (TICON-4), 14 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 Shiranuka
Sea stateSea state: slight
The waves you may find
- Most commonMost common1.4 ft
- Significant2.7 ft
- Highest expectedHighest5.5 ft
One wave in seven is higher than the significant height, and about 3 times a day one reaches 5.5 ft. Before heading out, expect waves of up to 5.5 ft.
Wind on the coast and offshore
Cross-onshore wind. The coast faces south 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 build over the next few days. The biggest waves arrive on Saturday 31: 6.2 ft with a period of 8 s, from the south-southeast (moderate).
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 52.9 °F by Wednesday 4.
Water warmer than normal for late October (+1.1 °F).

Surf in Shiranuka today
Surf today
Fair- 1.4–2.1 ft surf at the shore, a fun size for most surfers
- 1.5 ft swell at 11 s from the east, average
- Almost no wind (4 mph): glassy water
- First or last light of the day
- Falling tide (low tide at 10:18 am)
- Light: First light 5:24 am · sunrise 5:54 am · sunset 4:21 pm · last light 4:50 pm
- Tide: high 5:48 am (4.2 ft), low 10:18 am (3.2 ft), high 3:42 pm (4.8 ft) and low 11:19 pm (-0.1 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 54.3 °F: a 5/4 fullsuit with booties (and a hood if it’s windy).
- Energy: 47 kJ · Low power
Today’s surf at a glance
The best window, 5:24 am to 8:00 am, has glassy water. 9:00 am to 1:00 pm also works.
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 Shiranuka today
Diving and snorkeling today
Likely visibility: good- Slack water around low tide (10:18 am): little current from 9:40 am to 10:50 am
- 1.7 ft swell at 10 s from the east: some surge on the bottom
- Light cross-shore wind (9 mph)

- Likely visibility: good. Swell (up to 3.0 ft at 8 s) over the last few days has stirred up the water. Based on the last 24 hours of data.
- Water at 54.3 °F: a 7 mm semi-dry suit, with hood, gloves and booties.
- Snorkeling: doable, with some waves or wind.
- Night dive: dark from 4:50 pm. Waning gibbous (88%), rising at 6:10 pm: a bright night.
Your diving day at a glance
The best window, 8:40 am to 11:40 am, combines slack water at low tide, light wind, weak current and the sun high. Also good from 3:00 pm to 4:20 pm, with slack water at high tide, light wind and weak current. Also good from 5:50 am to 6:50 am, 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.
Never dive alone and check with the local dive shop: this rating is a guide, not a substitute for a professional.

The moon in Shiranuka
Moon phase and position
Today the moon is 226,480 mi away and looks 32′ 46″ across.
Solunar periods
Today's activity: medium- 12:23–2:23 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity
- 12:55–2:55 pm Major · the moon passes underfoot · high activity
- 9:08–10:08 am Minor · moonset · medium activity
- 5:40–6:40 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. Shallow, gradual bottom (16 ft at 0.5 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. Shallow near shore: you only reach 33 ft at 0.85 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).
