- ▼ Low tide 10:41 am 0.3 ft
↑ Rising The tide is rising. 13 h 20 min to high tide at 3:30 am.
Tide coefficient 93 for the 2:44 am 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 March 22 (-0.5 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 28 (coefficient 99, 1.1 ft range). The smallest, from October 18 to 19 (coefficient 24, 0.6 ft).

Where this tide comes from
Funagoshi has no station of its own, so we use the tide at Saigo (TICON-4), 19 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 Funagoshi
Sea stateSea state: slight
The waves you may find
- Most commonMost common1.7 ft
- Significant3.3 ft
- Highest expectedHighest7.0 ft
One wave in seven is higher than the significant height, and about 3 times a day one reaches 7.0 ft. Before heading out, expect waves of up to 7.0 ft.
Wind on the coast and offshore
The model doesn't separate offshore wind here: it's the same as on the coast.
Cross-shore wind. The coast faces northwest and the wind blows along the shore: drift and current run parallel to the beach.
Wave height, next 7 daysWaves, next 7 days
Waves stay much the same all week. The biggest waves arrive on Saturday 31: 6.6 ft with a period of 6 s, from the northwest (moderate).
Water temperature

Surf in Funagoshi today
Surf today
Good- 2.8–4.3 ft surf at the shore, a good size with some punch
- 3.9 ft swell at 6 s from the north, short: weak, messy waves
- Light offshore wind (10 mph): it holds up and grooms the waves
- Falling tide (low tide at 10:41 am)
- Light: First light 6:01 am · sunrise 6:27 am · sunset 5:16 pm · last light 5:42 pm
- Tide: high 2:44 am (1.4 ft) and low 10:41 am (0.3 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 73.9 °F: a rash guard or a neoprene top.
- Energy: 105 kJ · Medium power
Today’s surf at a glance
The best window, 6:01 am to 9:00 am, has a good size and light offshore wind, though with a short-period swell. 10:00 am to 11:00 am can also work, with a good size and light offshore wind, 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.

- Slack water today: high tide 2:44 am (2:29–3:00 am) and low tide 10:41 am (10:26–11:00 am)
- Likely visibility: poor. Swell (up to 7.6 ft at 8 s) over the last few days has stirred up the water. Based on the last 24 hours of data.
- Water at 73.9 °F: a 3 mm wetsuit.
- Snorkeling: better not, with these waves, wind or current.
- Night dive: dark from 5:42 pm. Waning gibbous (88%), rising at 7:25 pm: a bright night.
Your diving day at a glance
The best window, 10:10 am to 11:20 am, combines slack water at low tide and the sun high, though with moderate wind and 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.

Moon phase and position
Today the moon is 226,480 mi away and looks 32′ 46″ across.
Solunar periods
Today's activity: medium- 1:09–3:09 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity

- 9:27–10:27 am Minor · moonset · medium activity
- 6:55–7:55 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 1,200 ft 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 1,200 ft and 66 ft at 0.55 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).
Source: NOAA ETOPO 2022 (CC0), cells of about 0.3 mi; depth below mean sea level. For reference only: not for navigation or anchoring.
