  • Swimming Use care · 6.0 ft

    6.0 ft waves every 9 s: swim with care and stay where you can stand. High rip current risk. If you're caught in a rip current, don't swim against it: swim parallel to shore and wave for help. Always follow the lifeguard's flags.

  • ▼ Low tide 9:50 pm 0.9 ft

↑ Rising The tide is rising. 5 h 33 min to high tide at 5:43 pm.

Tide coefficient 98 for the 2:39 am high tide and 92 for the 5:43 pm high tide. Spring tides. The water rises and falls 1.2 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 12 (1.8 ft) and the lowest, on April 19 (-0.6 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 27 to 28 (coefficient 104, 1.1 ft range). The smallest, on October 19 (coefficient 22, 0.6 ft).

Where this tide comes from

B · Nearby station

Yotsutsuji has no station of its own, so we use the tide at Miyazu (JMA), 5.6 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

The waves you may find

  • Most commonMost common2.2 ft

  • Highest expectedHighest9.1 ft

One wave in seven is higher than the significant height, and about 3 times a day one reaches 9.1 ft. Before heading out, expect waves of up to 9.1 ft.

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

Your diving day at a glance

The best window, 4:30 pm to 5:10 pm, combines slack water at high tide and light wind. Also worth a look from 10:00 am to 11:00 am, with slack water at low tide, light wind and the sun high, though with waves.

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
  • 1:01–3:01 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity
  • 1:33–3:33 pm Major · the moon passes underfoot · high activity
  • 9:16–10:16 am Minor · moonset · medium activity
  • 6:48–7:48 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.
