Tide coefficient 96 for the 5:50 am high tide and 91 for the 3:58 pm high tide. Spring tides. The water rises and falls 5.0 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 August 14 (5.1 ft) and the lowest, on May 18 (-0.6 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 26 to 28 (coefficient 104, 5.0 ft range). The smallest, on October 19 (coefficient 22, 2.3 ft).

Where this tide comes from
Tanohata has no station of its own, so we use the tide at Kuji (TICON-4), 19 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 sea at Tanohata
Sea stateSea state: slight
The waves you may find
- Most commonMost common1.4 ft
- Significant2.8 ft
- Highest expectedHighest5.6 ft
One wave in seven is higher than the significant height, and about 3 times a day one reaches 5.6 ft. Before heading out, expect waves of up to 5.6 ft.
Wind on the coast and offshore
The model doesn't separate offshore wind here: it's the same as on the coast.
Cross-onshore wind. The coast faces east and the wind comes in from the sea at an angle: a bit more surf at the shore and drift along the coast, toward land.
Wave height, next 7 daysWaves, next 7 days
Waves build over the next few days. The biggest waves arrive on Sunday 1: 5.4 ft with a period of 9 s, from the north-northeast (moderate).
Water temperature
Water temperature →Water temperature changes how fish behave: in very cold or very warm water they feed less. The water is steady these days, with no sudden changes.
Water warmer than normal for late October (+3.2 °F).

Surf in Tanohata today
Surf today
Poor- 1.3–2.0 ft surf at the shore, a fun size for most surfers
- 2.6 ft swell at 5 s from the north, short: weak, messy waves; it hits this coast at an angle
- Light offshore wind (6 mph): it holds up and grooms the waves
- First or last light of the day
- Falling tide (low tide at 10:29 am)
- Light: First light 5:29 am · sunrise 5:57 am · sunset 4:34 pm · last light 5:02 pm
- Tide: high 5:50 am (4.3 ft), low 10:29 am (3.2 ft), high 3:58 pm (5.1 ft) and low 11:28 pm (0.1 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 64.9 °F: a 3/2 fullsuit.
- Energy: 31 kJ · Low power
Today’s surf at a glance
The best window, 5:29 am to 9:00 am, has light offshore wind, though with a short-period swell. 11:00 am to 3:00 pm can also work, 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 Tanohata today
Diving and snorkeling today
Likely visibility: fair- Slack water around low tide (10:29 am): little current from 9:50 am to 11:00 am
- 2.3 ft swell at 5 s from the north: some surge on the bottom
- Light cross-shore wind (7 mph)
- 0.2 mph current toward the southeast, weak (model)
- Sun high: more light underwater
- Slack water today: high tide 5:50 am (5:30–6:20 am), low tide 10:29 am (9:50–11:00 am), high tide 3:58 pm (3:40–4:20 pm) and low tide 11:28 pm (11:10–11:50 pm)
- Likely visibility: fair. Swell (up to 6.0 ft at 7 s) over the last few days has stirred up the water. Based on the last 24 hours of data.
- Water at 64.9 °F: a 5 mm wetsuit.
- Snorkeling: doable, with some waves or wind.
- Night dive: dark from 5:02 pm. Waning gibbous (88%), rising at 6:33 pm: a bright night.
Your diving day at a glance
The best window, 8:50 am to 11:10 am, combines slack water at low tide, light wind, weak current and the sun high. Also good from 6:00 am to 6:50 am, 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.

The moon in Tanohata
Moon phase and position
Today the moon is 226,480 mi away and looks 32′ 46″ across.
Solunar periods
Today's activity: medium- 12:32–2:32 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity
- 1:04–3:04 pm Major · the moon passes underfoot · high activity
- 9:04–10:04 am Minor · moonset · medium activity
- 6:03–7:03 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. 33 ft of water just 0.25 mi from shore: a good cast reaches deep water. Current and surf hit harder here.
- Swimming. The water gets deeper little by little, but a few dozen yards out you can no longer stand.
- Diving. Shore diving works here: 33 ft at 0.25 mi and 66 ft at 0.65 mi from shore.
Rough estimate: here the data comes in cells of about 0.3 mi and misses details near shore (rocks, sandbars, small coves).
