- ▲ High tide 5:49 am 1.7 ft · coef. 95
- ▼ Next low tide 10:36 am 1.0 ft
- ▲ High tide 4:28 pm 2.2 ft · coef. 90
↓ Falling The tide is falling. 35 min to low tide at 10:36 am.
Tide coefficient 95 for the 5:49 am high tide and 90 for the 4:28 pm high tide. Spring tides. The water rises and falls 1.2 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 30 (2.3 ft) and the lowest, on April 19 (-0.2 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 28 (coefficient 103, 2.0 ft range). The smallest, on October 19 (coefficient 27, 0.8 ft).

Where this tide comes from
Imabetsu has no station of its own, so we use the tide at Tappi (Japan Coast Guard), 7.1 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 Imabetsu
Sea stateSea state: moderate
The waves you may find
- Most commonMost common2.4 ft
- Significant4.7 ft
- Highest expectedHighest9.6 ft
One wave in seven is higher than the significant height, and about 3 times a day one reaches 9.6 ft. Before heading out, expect waves of up to 9.6 ft.
Wind on the coast and offshore
Offshore wind. The coast faces north and the wind blows from land out to sea: calm shore and clean waves, but watch the drift out to sea.
Wave height, next 7 daysWaves, next 7 days
Waves stay much the same all week. The biggest waves arrive on Thursday 29: 8.4 ft with a period of 8 s, from the west-northwest (rough).
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 65.8 °F by Wednesday 4.
Water warmer than normal for late October (+3.1 °F).

Your diving day at a glance
The best window, 9:50 am to 11:20 am, combines slack water at low tide, light wind and the sun high, though with some swell and current. Also worth a look from 3:50 pm to 5:00 pm, with slack water at high tide and light wind, though with some swell 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 Imabetsu
Moon phase and position
Today the moon is 226,480 mi away and looks 32′ 46″ across.
Solunar periods
Today's activity: medium- 12:38–2:38 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity
- 1:10–3:10 pm Major · the moon passes underfoot · high activity
- 9:15–10:15 am Minor · moonset · medium activity
- 6:04–7:04 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.
