  • ▼ Low tide 11:23 pm -0.1 ft

↓ Falling The tide is falling. 2 h 1 min to low tide at 10:00 am.

Tide coefficient 96 for the 5:38 am high tide and 92 for the 3:48 pm high tide. Spring tides. The water rises and falls 4.8 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 December 25 (4.9 ft) and the lowest, on May 18 (-0.6 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 11 to 12 (coefficient 103, 4.3 ft range). The smallest, on October 19 (coefficient 23, 2.0 ft).

Where this tide comes from

B · Nearby station

Hamanaka-sakuraminami has no station of its own, so we use the tide at Kiritappu (TICON-4), 5.2 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 Hamanaka-sakuraminami

7-day waves

Sea stateSea state: slight

Slight Douglas 3 · gentle breeze, Beaufort 3
Waves 3.0 ft · 8.0 s from the south (187°)
Swell 2.4 ft · 5.3 s from the southwest
Current 0.5 mph toward the SW

The waves you may find

  • Most commonMost common1.5 ft
  • Significant3.0 ft
  • Highest expectedHighest6.1 ft

One wave in seven is higher than the significant height, and about 3 times a day one reaches 6.1 ft. Before heading out, expect waves of up to 6.1 ft.

Wind on the coast and offshore

On the coast 8 mph WSW · gusts 15
Offshore (12 mi SSW)Offshore 10 mph W · gusts 16

Cross-offshore wind. The coast faces southeast and the wind comes off the land at an angle: calmer water near the shore, and bait and boats drift out to sea.

Your diving day at a glance

The best window, 2:50 pm to 4:20 pm, combines slack water at high tide, light wind and weak current. Also good from 5:50 am to 7:20 am, with slack water at high tide, light wind and weak current. Also worth a look from 8:50 am to 11:00 am, with slack water at low tide, light wind and the sun high, though with 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
  • 12:19–2:19 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity
  • 12:51–2:51 pm Major · the moon passes underfoot · high activity
  • 9:05–10:05 am Minor · moonset · medium activity
  • 5:35–6:35 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.
