Your day at a glance

The best window, 4:40 pm to 5:20 pm, combines the 5:41 pm high tide and sunset, though with rising pressure. Also worth a try from 6:20 am to 7:30 am, with the 7:24 am high tide, sunrise and a light onshore breeze, though with rising pressure. Also worth a try from 12:00 am to 1:10 am, with the 12:15 am low tide and a major period, though with rising pressure.

Species with the most records nearby: striped mullet, Japanese seabass, blackhead seabream and red seabream. October is one of the months when these are seen most: blackhead seabream. What you can catch

↓ Falling The tide is falling. 1 h 44 min to low tide at 12:22 pm.

Tide coefficient 92 for the 7:24 am high tide and 87 for the 5:41 pm high tide. Spring tides. 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 14 (5.4 ft) and the lowest, on December 24 (-0.7 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 27 (coefficient 105, 5.2 ft range). The smallest, on October 19 (coefficient 20, 2.3 ft).

Sea and waves

The sea at Kurihama

7-day waves

Sea stateSea state: smooth

Smooth Douglas 2 · gentle breeze, Beaufort 3
Waves 1.0 ft · 5.4 s from the southeast (136°)
Swell 0.7 ft · 4.8 s from the south
Current 0.2 mph toward the SW

The waves you may find

  • Most commonMost common0.5 ft
  • Significant1.0 ft
  • Highest expectedHighest2.2 ft

One wave in seven is higher than the significant height, and about 3 times a day one reaches 2.2 ft. Before heading out, expect waves of up to 2.2 ft.

Wind on the coast and offshore

On the coast 11 mph NNE · gusts 19

The model doesn't separate offshore wind here: it's the same as on the coast.

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

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 (+6.1 °F).

Your diving day at a glance

The best window, 11:00 am to 1:40 pm, combines slack water at low tide, little swell, light wind, weak current and the sun high. Also good from 6:40 am to 8:10 am, with slack water at high tide, little swell, 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.

Solunar periods

Today's activity: medium
  • 12:41–2:41 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity
  • 1:14–3:14 pm Major · the moon passes underfoot · high activity
  • 8:56–9:56 am Minor · moonset · medium activity
  • 6:30–7:30 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.
