Your day at a glance

The best window, 2:00 pm to 3:20 pm, combines the 2:18 pm low tide, a major period and some swell. Also worth a try from 1:30 am to 3:20 am, with the 2:15 am low tide, a major period and some swell, though with moderate wind. Also good from 7:50 pm to 8:50 pm, with the 8:08 pm high tide, moonrise and some swell.

Tide coefficient 92 for the 8:52 am high tide and 87 for the 8:08 pm high tide. Spring tides. The water rises and falls 6.8 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 (7.6 ft) and the lowest, on December 25 (-1.0 ft).

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

Where this tide comes from

B · Nearby station

Ōgimi has no station of its own, so we use the tide at Nakagusuku (TICON-4), 31 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.

How we calculate the tide

Sea and waves

The sea at Ōgimi

7-day waves

Sea stateSea state: slight

Slight Douglas 3 · moderate breeze, Beaufort 4
Waves 2.8 ft · 6.5 s from the north (7°)
Swell 2.4 ft · 5.8 s from the north-northwest
Current 0.4 mph toward the WSW

The waves you may find

  • Most commonMost common1.4 ft
  • Significant2.8 ft
  • Highest expectedHighest5.7 ft

One wave in seven is higher than the significant height, and about 3 times a day one reaches 5.7 ft. Before heading out, expect waves of up to 5.7 ft.

Wind on the coast and offshore

On the coast 8 mph ENE · gusts 18
Offshore (8.0 mi WNW)Offshore 13 mph ENE · gusts 19

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

Water warmer than normal for late October (+2.0 °F).

Today’s surf at a glance

The best window, 10:00 am to 2:00 pm, has light offshore wind, though with a short-period swell. 6:11 am to 7:00 am can also work, with a good size, 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, 1:10 pm to 3:10 pm, combines slack water at low tide, light wind, weak current and the sun high. Also good from 8:10 am to 10:00 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.

Solunar periods

Today's activity: medium
  • 1:30–3:30 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity
  • 2:02–4:02 pm Major · the moon passes underfoot · high activity
  • 9:18–10:18 am Minor · moonset · medium activity
  • 7:45–8:45 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.

Water depth

Shallow, gradual

Shallow, gradual bottom: you need to go 2.5 mi out for 33 ft of water.

From the shoreline out to sea, heading north.

How far from shore

  • 16 ft deep0.25 mi
  • 33 ft deep2.5 mi
  • 66 ft deepnot within 3.1 mi
  • 164 ft deepnot within 3.1 mi

For fishing, swimming and diving

  • Shore fishing. Shallow, gradual bottom (16 ft at 0.25 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 2.5 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).
