Mixed: two high and two low tides a day, but of quite different heights.

Where this tide comes from
Kumejima has no tide station nearby: its tide is calculated with the global FES2022 model, from the nearest model cells offshore (the first one 1.8 mi away). It may differ from the real tide by a few minutes and inches, and more with wind or storms. Heights are above mean sea level, not chart datum, so low tides are negative. Not for navigation.
Model attribution: FES2022 Tide was produced by LEGOS, NOVELTIS and CLS, funded by CNES, and distributed by AVISO (https://doi.org/10.24400/527896/a01-2024.004), AVISO licence (https://www.aviso.altimetry.fr/fileadmin/documents/data/License_Aviso.pdf). Modified by TidePlanet: constants interpolated from the nearest model cells offshore; heights above mean sea level.
The sea at Kumejima
Sea stateSea state: slight
The waves you may find
- Most commonMost common2.0 ft
- Significant4.0 ft
- Highest expectedHighest8.3 ft
One wave in seven is higher than the significant height, and about 3 times a day one reaches 8.3 ft. Before heading out, expect waves of up to 8.3 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 southeast 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 stay much the same all week. The biggest waves arrive on Tuesday 3: 6.6 ft with a period of 9 s, from the east-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.

Surf in Kumejima today
Surf today
Poor- 1.4–2.1 ft surf at the shore, a fun size for most surfers
- 3.7 ft swell at 7 s from the north, short: weak, messy waves; this coast faces away from it
- 1.8 ft wind swell at 3 s: messy waves
- Moderate onshore wind (16 mph): choppy, blown-out waves
- First or last light of the day
- Rising tide (high tide at 9:24 am)
- Light: First light 6:16 am · sunrise 6:40 am · sunset 5:53 pm · last light 6:17 pm
- Tide: low 2:43 am (-4.0 ft), high 9:24 am (2.4 ft), low 2:49 pm (-1.0 ft) and high 8:39 pm (2.8 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 81.5 °F: boardshorts or a swimsuit and a rash guard.
- Energy: 112 kJ · Medium power
Today’s surf at a glance
The best window is 6:16 am to 10:00 am, though with a short-period swell, wind 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 Kumejima today
Diving and snorkeling today
Likely visibility: poor- Slack water around low tide (2:49 pm): little current from 2:20 pm to 3:20 pm
- 2.8 ft swell at 6 s from the north: some surge on the bottom
- Light onshore wind (12 mph)
- 0.4 mph current toward the southwest, weak (model)
- Sun high: more light underwater
- Slack water today: low tide 2:43 am (2:20–3:00 am), high tide 9:24 am (9:00–9:50 am), low tide 2:49 pm (2:20–3:20 pm) and high tide 8:39 pm (8:20–9:00 pm)
- Likely visibility: poor. Swell (up to 6.0 ft at 8 s) and wind over the last few days have stirred up the water. Based on the last 24 hours of data.
- Water at 81.5 °F: a shorty or a rash guard.
- Snorkeling: better not, with these waves, wind or current.
- Night dive: dark from 6:17 pm. Waning gibbous (88%), rising at 8:22 pm: a bright night.
Your diving day at a glance
The best window, 2:10 pm to 3:30 pm, combines slack water at low tide, light wind, weak current and the sun high.
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- 1:35–3:35 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity
- 2:08–4:08 pm Major · the moon passes underfoot · high activity
- 9:22–10:22 am Minor · moonset · medium activity
- 7:52–8:52 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.

- 33 ft deep2 mi
- 66 ft deep2.1 mi

For fishing, swimming and diving
- Shore fishing. Shallow, gradual bottom (16 ft at 2 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 2 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).
