The best window, 12:50 am to 1:50 am, combines the 12:48 am low tide, a major period and some swell, though with rising pressure and moderate wind. Also worth a try from 6:40 pm to 7:30 pm, with the 6:25 pm high tide, moonrise and some swell, though with rising pressure. Also worth a try from 11:50 am to 1:50 pm, with the 12:53 pm low tide, a major period and some swell, though with rising pressure.

↑ Rising The tide is rising. 2 min to high tide at 6:25 pm.

Tide coefficient 91 for the 7:41 am high tide and 86 for the 6:25 pm high tide. Spring tides. The water rises and falls 5.3 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 (5.7 ft) and the lowest, on December 24 (-0.6 ft).

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

Tide coefficient and range in October

The biggest tides of the month came from October 26 to 27 (coefficient 105, 5.1 ft range). The smallest, on October 19 (coefficient 22, 2.2 ft).

How we calculate the tide

Sea and waves

The sea at Matsuzaki

7-day waves

Sea stateSea state: slight

Slight Douglas 3 · light air, Beaufort 1
Waves 1.7 ft · 6.6 s from the south-southeast (147°)
Swell 1.1 ft · 5.6 s from the southeast
Current 1.2 mph toward the NNE

The waves you may find

  • Most commonMost common0.9 ft
  • Significant1.7 ft
  • Highest expectedHighest3.5 ft

One wave in seven is higher than the significant height, and about 3 times a day one reaches 3.5 ft. Before heading out, expect waves of up to 3.5 ft.

Wind on the coast and offshore

On the coast 5 mph NNE · gusts 9
Offshore (1.5 mi W)Offshore 2 mph NE · gusts 6

Cross-offshore wind. The coast faces southwest and the wind comes off the land at an angle: calmer water near the shore, and bait and boats drift out to sea.

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 73.8 °F by Wednesday 4.

Water warmer than normal for late October (+3.1 °F).

Your diving day at a glance

The best window, 11:40 am to 2:10 pm, combines slack water at low tide, little swell, light wind, weak current and the sun high. Also worth a look from 7:10 am to 8:10 am, with slack water at high tide, little swell and weak current, though with moderate wind.

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.

Solunar periods

Today's activity: medium
  • 12:45–2:45 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity
  • 1:18–3:18 pm Major · the moon passes underfoot · high activity
  • 8:58–9:58 am Minor · moonset · medium activity
  • 6:35–7:35 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.
