Where is the biggest tide on Kyushu?

Today, in Ōmura: 16.0 ft between high and low tide (Oura station). The smallest is in Iwaya, with 4.5 ft. The range changes every day with the moon.

When are the next spring tides on Kyushu?

From October 27 to 29, after the new or full moon, with the moon near perigee, so they will be bigger than usual. At the Sunatsu station the coefficient will reach 105.

How many tides a day are there on Kyushu?

The tide is mixed: two high and two low tides a day, but of quite different heights. Each high tide comes about 50 minutes later than the day before.

Why do some places on Kyushu have no tide times?

18 of the 632 places have no tide station close enough, or in the same body of water, to give their times: the nearest one, Omuta, is 13 mi away on average. And we can't rely on the global tide model on this coast, so for now we don't show their tide. The sun, moon and spring tides on their pages are accurate.

What time are sunrise and sunset today on Kyushu?

In the middle of the area, the sun rises at 6:30 am and sets at 5:29 pm: 10 h 58 min of daylight. In Hazako it rises 10 minutes earlier than in Bōta.
