Tide coefficient 94 for the 8:16 am high tide and 88 for the 7:32 pm high tide. Spring tides. The water rises and falls 6.7 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 12 (7.7 ft) and the lowest, on December 26 (-0.7 ft).

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

Where this tide comes from

B · Nearby station

Mishōhirajō has no station of its own, so we use the tide at Katashima (JMA), 8.4 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.

Sea and waves

Smooth Douglas 2 · gentle breeze, Beaufort 3
Waves 1.0 ft · 5.0 s from the south-southeast (148°)

The waves you may find

One wave in seven is higher than the significant height, and about 3 times a day one reaches 2.0 ft. Before heading out, expect waves of up to 2.0 ft.

Onshore wind. The coast faces southwest and the wind blows straight in from the sea: more surf and backwash at the shore, and bait and boats drift toward land.

Your diving day at a glance

The best window, 1:00 pm to 2:50 pm, combines slack water at low tide, little swell, light wind, weak current and the sun high. Also good from 7:40 am to 9:20 am, with slack water at high tide, little swell, light wind and weak 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
  • 1:11–3:11 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity
  • 1:43–3:43 pm Major · the moon passes underfoot · high activity
  • 9:18–10:18 am Minor · moonset · medium activity
  • 7:07–8:07 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.
