Today's high and low tides

  • ▼ Low tide 9:23 pm 1.0 ft

↑ Rising The tide is rising. 2 h 49 min to high tide at 6:12 pm.

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

B · Nearby station

Nomimachi has no station of its own, so we use the tide at Kanazawa (TICON-4), 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.

Sea and waves

Waves 3.5 ft · 6.7 s from the north-northwest (327°)

The waves you may find

One wave in seven is higher than the significant height, and about 3 times a day one reaches 7.1 ft. Before heading out, expect waves of up to 7.1 ft.

Cross-offshore wind. The coast faces northwest and the wind comes off the land at an angle: calmer water near the shore, and bait and boats drift out to sea.

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. 1:00 pm to 3:00 pm can also work, with a good size and light offshore wind, 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.

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 worth a look from 4:10 pm to 5:30 pm, with light wind and weak current, though with tidal 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
  • 12:55–2:55 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity

  • 9:14–10:14 am Minor · moonset · medium activity
  • 6:39–7:39 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.
