↓ Falling The tide is falling. 2 h 8 min to low tide at 8:11 pm.
Tide coefficient 74 for the 1:48 pm high tide and 72 for the 10:51 pm high tide. Average coefficient. The water rises and falls 5.2 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 August 10 (5.9 ft) and the lowest, on January 4 (-1.0 ft).
Mixed: two high and two low tides a day, but of quite different heights.
Heights above chart datum (CD), the zero of that port's nautical charts. Astronomical prediction: wind and air pressure can raise or lower the water by a few inches, and more in a storm. Not for navigation. chart datum (CD)

Where this tide comes from
Takasago has no station of its own, so we use the tide at Himeji (Shikama, JMA), 7.3 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 waves you may find
- Most commonMost common0.1 ft
- Significant0.1 ft
- Highest expectedHighest0.3 ft
One wave in seven is higher than the significant height, and about 3 times a day one reaches 0.3 ft. Before heading out, expect waves of up to 0.3 ft.
Wind on the coast and offshore
Cross-shore wind. The coast faces southwest and the wind blows along the shore: drift and current run parallel to the beach.
Wave height, next 7 daysWaves, next 7 days
Waves stay much the same all week. The biggest waves arrive on Monday 2: 1.4 ft with a period of 4 s, from the south (smooth).
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 71.4 °F by Wednesday 4.

Today’s surf at a glance
The best window, 6:00 am to 10:00 am, has light offshore wind, though with barely any waves.
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, 11:50 am to 2:50 pm, combines slack water at high tide, little swell, light wind, weak current and the sun high.
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- 1:02–3:02 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity
- 1:34–3:34 pm Major · the moon passes underfoot · high activity
- 9:15–10:15 am Minor · moonset · medium activity
- 6:52–7:52 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
Deepens quicklyThe bottom deepens quickly: 33 ft of water 850 ft from shore.
From the shoreline (1.5 mi from Takasago) out to sea, heading southwest.
How far from shore
- 16 ft deep230 ft
- 33 ft deep850 ft
- 66 ft deepnot within 3.1 mi
- 164 ft deepnot within 3.1 mi
For fishing, swimming and diving
- Shore fishing. Deep water close in: about 19 ft just 330 ft out. Good for casting from rocks, jetties or the beach itself; current and surf hit harder here.
- 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. 33 ft deep 850 ft from shore; 66 ft is far out (beyond 3.1 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).
