Your day at a glance

The best window, 11:40 am to 1:40 pm, combines the 12:42 pm low tide, a major period, a light onshore breeze and some swell, though with rising pressure. Also worth a try from 12:40 am to 1:30 am, with the 12:34 am low tide, a major period and some swell, though with rising pressure and moderate wind.

Species with the most records nearby: striped mullet, Japanese seabass, blackhead seabream and red seabream. October is one of the months when these are seen most: blackhead seabream. What you can catch

Tide coefficient 93 for the 7:36 am high tide and 88 for the 6:03 pm high tide. Spring tides. The water rises and falls 5.6 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 September 12 (5.9 ft) and the lowest, on December 24 (-0.8 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 27 (coefficient 106, 5.6 ft range). The smallest, on October 19 (coefficient 21, 2.5 ft).

Where this tide comes from

B · Nearby station

Inatori has no station of its own, so we use the tide at Shimoda (TICON-4), 8.4 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

Waves 3.8 ft · 5.6 s from the east (85°)

The waves you may find

  • Most commonMost common1.9 ft

  • Highest expectedHighest7.8 ft

One wave in seven is higher than the significant height, and about 3 times a day one reaches 7.8 ft. Before heading out, expect waves of up to 7.8 ft.

Wind on the coast and offshore

On the coast 13 mph NE · gusts 26
Offshore (12 mi E)Offshore 19 mph NNE · gusts 27

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

Water warmer than normal for late October (+3.5 °F).

Today’s surf at a glance

The best window, 2:00 pm to 5:00 pm, has a good size, though with a short-period swell. 9:00 am to 1:00 pm can also work, with a good size, though with a short-period swell, wind swell and cross-shore 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.

Your diving day at a glance

The best window, 11:20 am to 2:00 pm, combines slack water at low tide, light wind and the sun high, though with current. Also worth a look from 6:50 am to 8:50 am, with slack water at high tide, 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.

Solunar periods

Today's activity: medium
  • 12:44–2:44 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity
  • 1:16–3:16 pm Major · the moon passes underfoot · high activity
  • 8:57–9:57 am Minor · moonset · medium activity
  • 6:34–7:34 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

Deepens quickly

The bottom deepens quickly: 33 ft of water 800 ft from shore. It reaches 164 ft at 0.55 mi.

From the shoreline (800 ft from Inatori) out to sea, heading southeast.

How far from shore

  • 16 ft deep750 ft
  • 33 ft deep800 ft
  • 66 ft deep950 ft
  • 164 ft deep0.55 mi

For fishing, swimming and diving

  • Shore fishing. 33 ft of water just 800 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 800 ft and 66 ft at 950 ft from shore.

Rough estimate: here the data comes in cells of about 0.3 mi and misses details near shore (rocks, sandbars, small coves).
