Your day at a glance

The best window, 5:30 am to 6:30 am, combines the 6:25 am high tide, sunrise and some swell, though with rising pressure. Also worth a try from 4:10 pm to 5:10 pm, with the 4:30 pm high tide, sunset and some swell, though with rising pressure. Also good from 11:00 pm to 12:00 am, with the 12:01 am low tide and some swell.

Today's high and low tides

  • ▲ High tide 6:25 am 4.4 ft · coef. 92
  • ▲ High tide 4:30 pm 5.0 ft · coef. 87

↓ Falling The tide is falling. 3 h 15 min to low tide at 11:11 am.

Tide coefficient 92 for the 6:25 am high tide and 87 for the 4:30 pm high tide. Spring tides. The water rises and falls 1.7 ft between the highest high and the lowest low: an average 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 14 (5.0 ft) and the lowest, on May 18 (-0.7 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)

Tide coefficient and range in October

The biggest tides of the month came from October 26 to 27 (coefficient 104, 4.7 ft range). The smallest, on October 19 (coefficient 23, 2.0 ft).

Where this tide comes from

B · Nearby station

Takahagi has no station of its own, so we use the tide at Hitachi (JMA), 16 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.

One wave in seven is higher than the significant height, and about 3 times a day one reaches 4.2 ft. Before heading out, expect waves of up to 4.2 ft.

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

Water warmer than normal for late October (+4.5 °F).

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.

Your diving day at a glance

The best window, 9:30 am to 12:30 pm, combines slack water at low tide, light wind, weak current and the sun high. Also good from 6:00 am to 7:20 am, with slack water at high tide, light wind and weak current. Also good from 3:40 pm to 4:40 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.

Solunar periods

Today's activity: medium
  • 12:37–2:37 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity
  • 1:09–3:09 pm Major · the moon passes underfoot · high activity
  • 8:57–9:57 am Minor · moonset · medium activity
  • 6:20–7:20 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

Gentle slope

The bottom slopes gently: 16 ft deep 1,150 ft from shore and 33 ft at 0.4 mi.

From the shoreline (0.5 mi from Takahagi) out to sea, heading east.

How far from shore

  • 16 ft deep1,150 ft
  • 33 ft deep0.4 mi
  • 66 ft deep1.5 mi
  • 164 ft deepnot within 3.1 mi

For fishing, swimming and diving

  • Shore fishing. Shallow, gradual bottom (16 ft at 1,150 ft): cast far from the beach and fish the high tide, when there is more water close in.
  • Swimming. The water gets deeper little by little, but a few dozen yards out you can no longer stand.
  • Diving. 33 ft deep 0.4 mi from shore; 66 ft is far out (1.5 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).
