↑ Rising The tide is rising. 1 h 15 min to high tide at 9:05 am.
Tide coefficient 91 for the 9:05 am high tide and 85 for the 8:41 pm high tide. Spring tides. The water rises and falls 9.0 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 (10.0 ft) and the lowest, on December 25 (-1.1 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 26 to 27 (coefficient 104, 9.4 ft range). The smallest, on October 19 (coefficient 21, 3.2 ft).

Where this tide comes from
Kirishima has no station of its own, so we use the tide at Kagoshima (TICON-4), 16 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.

The sea at Kirishima
Sea stateSea state: calm (rippled)
The waves you may find
- Most commonMost common0.0 ft
- Significant0.1 ft
- Highest expectedHighest0.1 ft
One wave in seven is higher than the significant height, and about 3 times a day one reaches 0.1 ft. Before heading out, expect waves of up to 0.1 ft.
Wind on the coast and offshore
The model doesn't separate offshore wind here: it's the same as on the coast.
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.
Wave height, next 7 daysWaves, next 7 days
Waves stay much the same all week. The biggest waves arrive on Monday 2: 0.9 ft with a period of 3 s, from the south-southwest (smooth).
Water temperature
Water temperature →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 75.7 °F by Wednesday 4.
Water warmer than normal for late October (+1.7 °F).

Your diving day at a glance
The best window, 8:30 am to 10:00 am, combines slack water at high tide, little swell, light wind, weak current and the sun high. Also good from 1:50 pm to 3:50 pm, with slack water at low 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.

The moon in Kirishima
Moon phase and position
Today the moon is 226,480 mi away and looks 32′ 46″ across.
Solunar periods
Today's activity: medium- 1:19–3:19 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity
- 1:51–3:51 pm Major · the moon passes underfoot · high activity
- 9:22–10:22 am Minor · moonset · medium activity
- 7:19–8:19 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.
