Where this tide comes from
Nejime-kawaminan has no station of its own, so we use the tide at Odomari (Japan Coast Guard), 14 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.

Your diving day at a glance

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.

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
- 9:20–10:20 am Minor · moonset · medium activity
- 7:20–8:20 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.
