Today's high and low tides

- ▲ High tide 6:54 pm 4.2 ft · coef. 82
↓ Falling The tide is falling. 4 h 53 min to low tide at 1:39 pm.
Tide coefficient 87 for the 8:12 am high tide and 82 for the 6:54 pm high tide. Average coefficient. The water rises and falls 3.9 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 (4.4 ft) and the lowest, on December 25 (-0.6 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 99, 3.9 ft range). The smallest, from October 18 to 19 (coefficient 25, 1.8 ft).

Where this tide comes from
Iwata has no station of its own, so we use the tide at Maisaka (UHSLC, TICON-4), 13 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 Iwata
Sea stateSea state: slight
The waves you may find
- Most commonMost common1.1 ft
- Significant2.1 ft
- Highest expectedHighest4.4 ft
One wave in seven is higher than the significant height, and about 3 times a day one reaches 4.4 ft. Before heading out, expect waves of up to 4.4 ft.
Wind on the coast and offshore
Cross-shore wind. The coast faces south and the wind blows along the shore: drift and current run parallel to the beach.
Wave height, next 7 daysWaves, next 7 days
Waves build over the next few days. The biggest waves arrive on Monday 2: 5.2 ft with a period of 8 s, from the south (moderate).
Water temperature
Water temperature →Water temperature changes how fish behave: in very cold or very warm water they feed less. The water cools over the next few days: about 71.9 °F by Wednesday 4.
Water warmer than normal for late October (+0.9 °F).

Surf in Iwata today
Surf today
Poor- 1.3–2.0 ft surf at the shore, a fun size for most surfers
- 1.6 ft swell at 4 s from the southeast, short: weak, messy waves
- Almost no wind (4 mph): glassy water
- Rising tide (high tide at 8:12 am)
- Light: First light 5:40 am · sunrise 6:06 am · sunset 4:58 pm · last light 5:24 pm
- Tide: low 1:32 am (0.3 ft), high 8:12 am (4.1 ft), low 1:39 pm (2.5 ft) and high 6:54 pm (4.2 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 73.0 °F: a rash guard or a neoprene top.
- Energy: 9 kJ · Low power
Today’s surf at a glance
The best window, 6:00 am to 10:00 am, has glassy water, though with a short-period swell. 12:00 pm to 2:00 pm can also work, 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, 12:00 pm to 2:30 pm, combines slack water at low tide, light wind and the sun high, though with current. Also worth a look from 7:10 am to 9:30 am, with slack water at high tide and light wind, though with 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.

The moon in Iwata
Moon phase and position
Today the moon is 226,480 mi away and looks 32′ 46″ across.
Solunar periods
Today's activity: medium- 12:49–2:49 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity
- 1:21–3:21 pm Major · the moon passes underfoot · high activity
- 9:02–10:02 am Minor · moonset · medium activity
- 6:39–7:39 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.
