↓ Falling The tide is falling. 2 h 52 min to low tide at 10:43 am.
Tide coefficient 95 for the 2:48 am high tide and 89 for the 6:12 pm high tide. Spring tides. The water rises and falls 1.1 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 12 (1.7 ft) and the lowest, on March 2 (-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 27 to 28 (coefficient 99, 1.0 ft range). The smallest, on October 19 (coefficient 24, 0.6 ft).

Where this tide comes from
Kahoku has no station of its own, so we use the tide at Kanazawa (TICON-4), 11 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 stateSea state: moderate
The waves you may find
- Most commonMost common2.6 ft
- Significant5.2 ft
- Highest expectedHighest11 ft
One wave in seven is higher than the significant height, and about 3 times a day one reaches 11 ft. Before heading out, expect waves of up to 11 ft.
Wind on the coast and offshore
Offshore wind. The coast faces west and the wind blows from land out to sea: calm shore and clean waves, but watch the drift out to sea.
Wave height, next 7 daysWaves, next 7 days
Waves stay much the same all week. The biggest waves arrive on Thursday 29: 7.3 ft with a period of 8 s, from the northwest (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 69.2 °F by Wednesday 4.
Water warmer than normal for late October (+2.7 °F).

Surf in Kahoku today
Surf today

- 5.4 ft swell at 7 s from the northwest, short: weak, messy waves

- Falling tide (low tide at 10:43 am)
- Light: First light 5:47 am · sunrise 6:13 am · sunset 5:00 pm · last light 5:27 pm
- Tide: high 2:48 am (1.3 ft), low 10:43 am (0.2 ft), high 6:12 pm (1.1 ft) and low 9:23 pm (1.0 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 70.3 °F: a springsuit or a 2 mm fullsuit.
- Energy: 228 kJ · Medium power
Today’s surf at a glance
The best window, 6:00 am to 10:00 am, has a good size and glassy water, though with a short-period swell. 3:00 pm to 5:00 pm can also work, with a good size and glassy water, though with a short-period swell.
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 Kahoku today
Diving and snorkeling today
Likely visibility: poor- Slack water around low tide (10:43 am): little current from 10:28 am to 11:00 am
- 4.5 ft swell at 6 s from the north-northwest: some surge on the bottom
- Almost no wind
- 0.1 mph current toward the north, weak (model)
- Sun high: more light underwater
- Slack water today: high tide 2:48 am (2:30–3:03 am), low tide 10:43 am (10:28–11:00 am), high tide 6:12 pm (5:40–7:40 pm) and low tide 9:23 pm (8:00–10:40 pm)
- Likely visibility: poor. Swell (up to 10 ft at 8 s) over the last few days has stirred up the water. Based on the last 24 hours of data.
- Water at 70.3 °F: a 5 mm wetsuit.
- Snorkeling: better not, with these waves, wind or current.
- Night dive: dark from 5:27 pm. Waning gibbous (88%), rising at 7:07 pm: a bright night.
Your diving day at a glance
The best window, 10:00 am to 11:20 am, combines slack water at low tide, light wind, weak current and the sun high, though with some swell. Also good from 4:30 pm to 5:30 pm, with 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.

Moon phase and position
Today the moon is 226,480 mi away and looks 32′ 46″ across.
Solunar periods
Today's activity: medium- 12:54–2:54 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity
- 1:26–3:26 pm Major · the moon passes underfoot · high activity
- 9:14–10:14 am Minor · moonset · medium activity
- 6:37–7:37 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 0.45 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).
Source: NOAA ETOPO 2022 (CC0), cells of about 0.3 mi; depth below mean sea level. For reference only: not for navigation or anchoring.
