Where this tide comes from
Pemuchi Beach has no station of its own, so we use the tide at Iriomotejima (JMA), 21 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 Pemuchi Beach
Sea stateSea state: slight
The waves you may find
- Most commonMost common1.8 ft
- Significant3.7 ft
- Highest expectedHighest7.5 ft
One wave in seven is higher than the significant height, and about 3 times a day one reaches 7.5 ft. Before heading out, expect waves of up to 7.5 ft.
Wind on the coast and offshore
The model doesn't separate offshore wind here: it's the same as on the coast.
Offshore wind. The coast faces south and the wind blows from land out to sea: calm shore and clean waves, but watch the drift out to sea.

Waves build over the next few days. The biggest waves arrive on Tuesday 3: 10 ft with a period of 13 s, from the east (rough).
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 Pemuchi Beach today
Surf today
Poor- 1.6–2.5 ft surf at the shore, a fun size for most surfers
- 3.0 ft swell at 7 s from the east, short: weak, messy waves; it hits this coast at an angle
- Light offshore wind (10 mph): it holds up and grooms the waves
- First or last light of the day
- Rising tide (high tide at 9:19 pm)
- Light: First light 6:26 am · sunrise 6:49 am · sunset 6:08 pm · last light 6:31 pm
- Tide: low 3:35 am (0.3 ft), high 10:31 am (5.0 ft), low 3:32 pm (3.0 ft) and high 9:19 pm (5.4 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 81.3 °F: boardshorts or a swimsuit and a rash guard.
- Energy: 77 kJ · Low power
Today’s surf at a glance
The best window, 6:00 pm to 6:31 pm, has light offshore wind, though with a short-period swell. 4:00 pm to 5:00 pm can also work, with light offshore wind, though with small waves and 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.

The moon in Pemuchi Beach
Moon phase and position
Today the moon is 226,480 mi away and looks 32′ 46″ across.
Solunar periods
Today's activity: medium- 1:48–3:48 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity
- 2:20–4:20 pm Major · the moon passes underfoot · high activity
- 9:29–10:29 am Minor · moonset · medium activity
- 8:11–9:11 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 0.3 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 0.3 mi and 66 ft at 0.3 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).
