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

Where this tide comes from
Tides from the Takamatsu station (TICON-4), 1.3 mi from Takamatsu. Times and heights are its predictions.

The sea at Takamatsu
Sea stateSea state: smooth
The waves you may find
- Most commonMost common0.3 ft
- Significant0.5 ft
- Highest expectedHighest1.1 ft
One wave in seven is higher than the significant height, and about 3 times a day one reaches 1.1 ft. Before heading out, expect waves of up to 1.1 ft.
Wind on the coast and offshore
Cross-offshore wind. The coast faces north and the wind comes off the land at an angle: calmer water near the shore, and bait and boats drift out to sea.
Wave height, next 7 daysWaves, next 7 days
Waves stay much the same all week. The biggest waves arrive on Saturday 31: 1.3 ft with a period of 3 s, from the west (smooth).
Water temperature
Water temperature →The satellite measured 2.9 °F more 2 days ago than the model gives now: the water is probably warmer than the forecast says.
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 70.3 °F by Wednesday 4.
Water warmer than normal for late October (+3.3 °F).

Your diving day at a glance
The best window, 11:50 am to 2:10 pm, combines slack water at high tide, little swell, light wind and the sun high, though with current. Also worth a look from 5:50 am to 7:10 am, with slack water at low tide, little swell and light wind, 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.

The moon in Takamatsu
Moon phase and position
Today the moon is 226,480 mi away and looks 32′ 46″ across.
Solunar periods
Today's activity: medium- 1:05–3:05 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity
- 1:37–3:37 pm Major · the moon passes underfoot · high activity
- 9:16–10:16 am Minor · moonset · medium activity
- 6:57–7:57 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.
