↓ Falling The tide is falling. 3 h 50 min to low tide at 11:45 am.
Tide coefficient 98 for the 4:23 am high tide and 92 for the 7:30 pm high tide. Spring tides. The water rises and falls 1.0 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 June 16 (0.5 ft) and the lowest, on December 25 (-0.7 ft).
Mixed: two high and two low tides a day, but of quite different heights.
Heights above mean sea level. Astronomical prediction: wind and air pressure can raise or lower the water by a few inches, and more in a storm. Not for navigation. mean sea level
Tide coefficient and range in October
The biggest tides of the month came from October 26 to 28 (coefficient 104, 1.0 ft range). The smallest, from October 19 to 20 (coefficient 20, 0.5 ft).

Where this tide comes from
Shosanbetsu has no tide station nearby: its tide is calculated with the global FES2022 model, from the nearest model cells offshore (the first one 1.8 mi away). It may differ from the real tide by a few minutes and inches, and more with wind or storms. Heights are above mean sea level, not chart datum, so low tides are negative. Not for navigation.
Model attribution: FES2022 Tide was produced by LEGOS, NOVELTIS and CLS, funded by CNES, and distributed by AVISO (https://doi.org/10.24400/527896/a01-2024.004), AVISO licence (https://www.aviso.altimetry.fr/fileadmin/documents/data/License_Aviso.pdf). Modified by TidePlanet: constants interpolated from the nearest model cells offshore; heights above mean sea level.
The sea at Shosanbetsu
Sea stateSea state: moderate
The waves you may find
- Most commonMost common3.5 ft
- Significant7.1 ft
- Highest expectedHighest14 ft
One wave in seven is higher than the significant height, and about 3 times a day one reaches 14 ft. Before heading out, expect waves of up to 14 ft.
Wind on the coast and offshore
The model doesn't separate offshore wind here: it's the same as on the coast.
Onshore wind. The coast faces west and the wind blows straight in from the sea: more surf and backwash at the shore, and bait and boats drift toward land.
Wave height, next 7 daysWaves, next 7 days
Waves build over the next few days. The biggest waves arrive on Sunday 1: 10 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 55.0 °F by Wednesday 4.
Water colder than normal for late October (−1.2 °F).

Surf in Shosanbetsu today
Surf today
Poor- 2.8–4.3 ft surf at the shore, a good size with some punch
- 3.5 ft swell at 5 s from the west, short: weak, messy waves
- 2.8 ft wind swell at 3 s: messy waves
- Moderate cross-shore wind (13 mph): a bit of chop
- Rising tide (high tide at 7:30 pm)
- Light: First light 5:36 am · sunrise 6:06 am · sunset 4:27 pm · last light 4:57 pm
- Tide: low 12:06 am (0.2 ft), high 4:23 am (0.3 ft), low 11:45 am (-0.6 ft) and high 7:30 pm (0.4 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 57.0 °F: a 5/4 fullsuit with booties (and a hood if it’s windy).
- Energy: 67 kJ · Low power
Today’s surf at a glance
The best window, 2:00 pm to 4:57 pm, has a good size, though with a short-period swell, wind swell and cross-shore wind. 10:00 am to 12:00 pm can also work, with a good size, though with a short-period swell and onshore 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.
Diving in Shosanbetsu today
Diving and snorkeling today
Likely visibility: poor- Slack water around low tide (11:45 am): little current from 11:30 am to 12:00 pm
- 3.8 ft swell at 6 s from the west-southwest: some surge on the bottom
- Moderate onshore wind (14 mph)
- 0.5 mph current toward the northeast, weak (model)
- Sun high: more light underwater
- Slack water today: low tide 12:06 am (10:40 pm–1:20 am), high tide 4:23 am (4:00–4:40 am), low tide 11:45 am (11:30 am–12:00 pm), high tide 7:30 pm (7:10–8:00 pm) and low tide 12:21 am (11:00 pm–1:50 am)
- Likely visibility: poor. Swell (up to 6.3 ft at 9 s), rain (1.20 in) and wind over the last few days have stirred up the water. Based on the last 24 hours of data.
- Water at 57.0 °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 4:57 pm. Waning gibbous (88%), rising at 6:13 pm: a bright night.
Your diving day at a glance
The best window, 11:00 am to 12:30 pm, combines slack water at low tide, weak current and the sun high, though with some swell and moderate wind.
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- 12:33–2:33 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity
- 1:05–3:05 pm Major · the moon passes underfoot · high activity
- 9:25–10:25 am Minor · moonset · medium activity
- 5:43–6:43 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 950 ft): 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. 33 ft deep 0.45 mi from shore; 66 ft is far out (1.3 mi): for deeper dives, 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).
