Tide coefficient 96 for the 5:16 am high tide and 91 for the 4:14 pm high tide. Spring tides. The water rises and falls 2.7 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 29 (3.1 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 chart datum (CD), the zero of that port's nautical charts. Astronomical prediction: wind and air pressure can raise or lower the water by a few inches, and more in a storm. Not for navigation. chart datum (CD)

Where this tide comes from

B · Nearby station

Sai has no station of its own, so we use the tide at Oma (JMA), 7.4 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.

How we calculate the tide

Sea and waves

The sea at Sai

7-day waves

Sea stateSea state: slight

Slight Douglas 3 · moderate breeze, Beaufort 4
Waves 2.7 ft · 6.0 s from the west-southwest (257°)
Swell 2.4 ft · 5.7 s from the west
Current 1.0 mph toward the ENE

The waves you may find

  • Most commonMost common1.3 ft
  • Significant2.7 ft
  • Highest expectedHighest5.5 ft

One wave in seven is higher than the significant height, and about 3 times a day one reaches 5.5 ft. Before heading out, expect waves of up to 5.5 ft.

Wind on the coast and offshore

On the coast 17 mph SSW · gusts 21

The model doesn't separate offshore wind here: it's the same as on the coast.

Cross-onshore wind. The coast faces west and the wind comes in from the sea at an angle: a bit more surf at the shore and drift along the coast, toward land.

Waves build over the next few days. The biggest waves arrive on Sunday 1: 7.8 ft with a period of 6 s, from the west (moderate).

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 66.3 °F by Wednesday 4.

Water colder than normal for late October (−1.2 °F).

Your diving day at a glance

The best window, 9:30 am to 11:10 am, combines slack water at low tide, light wind and the sun high, though with current. Also worth a look from 12:10 pm to 1:40 pm, with the sun high, though with tidal current, moderate wind and current. Also worth a look from 3:40 pm to 4:40 pm, with slack water at high tide, though with fresh 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.

Solunar periods

Today's activity: medium
  • 12:37–2:37 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity
  • 1:09–3:09 pm Major · the moon passes underfoot · high activity
  • 9:15–10:15 am Minor · moonset · medium activity
  • 6:01–7:01 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.
