- Sun & sunscreen UV 7 · SPF 50
Max UV 7 (high): SPF 50 sunscreen, reapplied every 2 hours.

Tides in Ogasawara
Today's high and low tides
- ▼ Low tide 1:13 am 0.1 ft
- ▲ High tide 8:12 am 3.8 ft · coef. 92
- ▼ Low tide 1:21 pm 2.3 ft
- ▲ Next high tide 6:47 pm 3.9 ft · coef. 86
↑ Rising The tide is rising. 5 h 7 min to high tide at 6:47 pm.
Tide coefficient 92 for the 8:12 am high tide and 86 for the 6:47 pm high tide. Spring tides. The water rises and falls 3.8 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 (4.2 ft) and the lowest, on December 25 (-0.7 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, 3.7 ft range). The smallest, on October 19 (coefficient 23, 1.7 ft).

The sea at Ogasawara
Sea stateSea state: moderate
The waves you may find
- Most commonMost common3.2 ft
- Significant6.3 ft
- Highest expectedHighest13 ft
One wave in seven is higher than the significant height, and about 3 times a day one reaches 13 ft. Before heading out, expect waves of up to 13 ft.
Wind on the coast and offshore
The model doesn't separate offshore wind here: it's the same as on the coast.
Cross-offshore wind. The coast faces northwest and the wind comes off the land at an angle: calmer water near the shore, and bait and boats drift out to sea.
Wave height, next 7 daysWaves, next 7 days
Waves stay much the same all week. The biggest waves arrive on Sunday 1: 9.6 ft with a period of 10 s, from the east-southeast (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.
Water warmer than normal for late October (+1.4 °F).

Surf in Ogasawara today
Surf today
Good- 3.7–5.7 ft surf at the shore, a good size with some punch
- 5.6 ft swell at 7 s from the north-northwest, short: weak, messy waves
- Moderate offshore wind (14 mph): it holds up and grooms the waves
- Falling tide (low tide at 1:21 pm)
- Light: First light 5:15 am · sunrise 5:39 am · sunset 4:51 pm · last light 5:14 pm
- Tide: low 1:13 am (0.1 ft), high 8:12 am (3.8 ft), low 1:21 pm (2.3 ft) and high 6:47 pm (3.9 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 81.0 °F: boardshorts or a swimsuit and a rash guard.
- Energy: 269 kJ · Medium power
Today’s surf at a glance
The best window, 9:00 am to 1:00 pm, has 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.
Diving in Ogasawara today
Diving and snorkeling today
Likely visibility: poor- Slack water around high tide (8:12 am): little current from 7:50 am to 8:40 am
- 5.8 ft swell at 7 s from the northwest: strong surge on the bottom
- Moderate cross-shore wind (13 mph)
- 0.4 mph current toward the south-southeast, weak (model)
- Daylight
- Slack water today: low tide 1:13 am (12:58–1:30 am), high tide 8:12 am (7:50–8:40 am), low tide 1:21 pm (12:50–1:50 pm) and high tide 6:47 pm (6:20–7:10 pm)
- Likely visibility: poor. Swell (up to 6.2 ft at 7 s) and rain (1.25 in) over the last few days have stirred up the water. Based on the last 24 hours of data.
- Water at 81.0 °F: a shorty or a rash guard.
- Snorkeling: better not, with these waves, wind or current.
- Night dive: dark from 5:14 pm. Waning gibbous (88%), rising at 7:15 pm: a bright night.
Your diving day at a glance
The best window, 7:30 am to 8:30 am, combines slack water at high tide and weak current, though with some swell and moderate wind. Also worth a look from 12:20 pm to 2:10 pm, with slack water at low tide and the sun high, though with some swell, 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.

The moon in Ogasawara
Moon phase and position
Today the moon is 226,480 mi away and looks 32′ 46″ across.
Solunar periods
Today's activity: medium- 12:31–2:31 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity
- 1:03–3:03 pm Major · the moon passes underfoot · high activity
- 8:20–9:20 am Minor · moonset · medium activity
- 6:45–7:45 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 quicklyThe bottom deepens quickly: 33 ft of water 800 ft from shore. It reaches 164 ft at 1.8 mi.
From the shoreline (0.75 mi from Ogasawara) out to sea, heading northwest.

- 16 ft deep390 ft
- 33 ft deep800 ft
- 66 ft deep0.25 mi
- 164 ft deep1.8 mi
For fishing, swimming and diving
- Shore fishing. Deep water close in: about 14 ft just 330 ft out. Good for casting from rocks, jetties or the beach itself; current and surf hit harder here.
- Swimming. The bottom drops quickly near the shore and you are soon out of your depth. Keep an eye on kids and weak swimmers.
- Diving. Shore diving works here: 33 ft at 800 ft and 66 ft at 0.25 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.
