Today's high and low tides

  • ▼ Low tide 10:32 am 1.3 ft

↑ Rising The tide is rising. 5 h 2 min to high tide at 5:15 pm.

Tide coefficient 94 for the 6:26 am high tide and 90 for the 5:15 pm high tide. Spring tides. The water rises and falls 2.6 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 July 15 (3.0 ft) and the lowest, on April 19 (-0.2 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 10 to 12 (coefficient 100, 2.2 ft range). The smallest, on October 19 (coefficient 26, 1.2 ft).

Where this tide comes from

B · Nearby station

Shiriuchi has no station of its own, so we use the tide at Yoshioka (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.

Sea and waves

The sea at Shiriuchi

7-day waves

Sea stateSea state: smooth

Smooth Douglas 2 · moderate breeze, Beaufort 4
Waves 1.3 ft · 5.3 s from the south-southwest (199°)
Swell 0.7 ft · 9.4 s from the east
Current 0.5 mph toward the NNW

The waves you may find

  • Most commonMost common0.7 ft
  • Significant1.3 ft
  • Highest expectedHighest2.8 ft

One wave in seven is higher than the significant height, and about 3 times a day one reaches 2.8 ft. Before heading out, expect waves of up to 2.8 ft.

Wind on the coast and offshore

On the coast 11 mph SSW · gusts 26
Offshore (8.0 mi SSE)Offshore 17 mph SW · gusts 22

Cross-shore wind. The coast faces southeast and the wind blows along the shore: drift and current run parallel to the beach.

Waves stay much the same all week. The biggest waves arrive on Friday 30: 3.0 ft with a period of 5 s, from the south-southwest (slight).

Water temperature

Water now62.6 °F
Today 62.2–63.0 °F air: 40 / 55 °F
Satellite (2 days ago) 66.0 °F measured 0.4 mi away

The satellite measured 3.4 °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 59.6 °F by Wednesday 4.

Water colder than normal for late October (−2.0 °F).

Your diving day at a glance

The best window, 6:30 am to 9:30 am, combines slack water at high tide, little swell, 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.

Solunar periods

Today's activity: medium
  • 12:38–2:38 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity
  • 1:11–3:11 pm Major · the moon passes underfoot · high activity
  • 9:17–10:17 am Minor · moonset · medium activity
  • 6:02–7:02 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.
