↓ Falling The tide is falling. 2 h 4 min to low tide at 10:52 am.
Tide coefficient 96 for the 5:07 am high tide and 92 for the 4:43 pm high tide. Spring tides. The water rises and falls 2.2 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 September 13 (2.6 ft) and the lowest, on April 19 (-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 27 to 28 (coefficient 103, 2.3 ft range). The smallest, on October 19 (coefficient 22, 0.7 ft).

Where this tide comes from
Hiranai has no station of its own, so we use the tide at Asamushi (TICON-4), 5.3 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.

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.

Moon phase and position
Today the moon is 226,480 mi away and looks 32′ 46″ across.
Solunar periods
Today's activity: medium- 12:36–2:36 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity
- 1:08–3:08 pm Major · the moon passes underfoot · high activity
- 9:12–10:12 am Minor · moonset · medium activity
- 6:03–7:03 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.
