  • ▲ High tide 10:51 pm 3.8 ft · coef. 72

↑ Rising The tide is rising. 4 h 58 min to high tide at 1:48 pm.

Tide coefficient 74 for the 1:48 pm high tide and 72 for the 10:51 pm high tide. Average coefficient. The water rises and falls 5.2 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 August 10 (5.9 ft) and the lowest, on January 4 (-1.0 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)

Tide coefficient and range in October

The biggest tides of the month came from October 23 to 28 (coefficient 81, 4.8 ft range). The smallest, from October 18 to 19 (coefficient 58, 4.2 ft).

Where this tide comes from

B · Nearby station

Aioi has no station of its own, so we use the tide at Himeji (Shikama, JMA), 11 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 Aioi

7-day waves

Sea stateSea state: calm (rippled)

Calm (rippled) Douglas 1 · gentle breeze, Beaufort 3
Waves 0.2 ft · 2.5 s from the east-southeast (115°)
Swell 0.1 ft · 1.9 s from the east-southeast
Current 0.4 mph toward the WNW

The waves you may find

  • Most commonMost common0.1 ft
  • Significant0.2 ft
  • Highest expectedHighest0.4 ft

One wave in seven is higher than the significant height, and about 3 times a day one reaches 0.4 ft. Before heading out, expect waves of up to 0.4 ft.

Wind on the coast and offshore

On the coast 7 mph ENE · gusts 16
Offshore (4.1 mi SSE)Offshore 9 mph NE · gusts 16

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

Waves stay much the same all week. The biggest waves arrive on Friday 30: 1.4 ft with a period of 3 s, from the south (smooth).

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 71.8 °F by Wednesday 4.

Water warmer than normal for late October (+3.4 °F).

Your diving day at a glance

The best window, 11:50 am to 2:50 pm, combines slack water at high tide, little swell, light wind, weak current and the sun high.

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
  • 1:03–3:03 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity
  • 1:36–3:36 pm Major · the moon passes underfoot · high activity
  • 9:16–10:16 am Minor · moonset · medium activity
  • 6:53–7:53 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.
