Questions about the tides on Shikoku
What time is high tide today on Shikoku?
Today, at the Uwajima station, used by 41 places on Shikoku, high tide is at 9:23 am (7.3 ft) and 8:33 pm (6.7 ft), and low tide at 2:34 am and 3:04 pm. It can change by a few minutes from place to place: check each place's page.
Where is the biggest tide on Shikoku?
Today, in Shikokuchūō: 12.7 ft between high and low tide (Iyo-Mishima station). The smallest is in Narutochō-mitsuishi, with 4.9 ft. The range changes every day with the moon.
When are the next spring tides on Shikoku?
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 Uwajima station the coefficient will reach 103.
How many tides a day are there on Shikoku?
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 Shikoku have no tide times?
3 of the 272 places have no tide station close enough, or in the same body of water, to give their times: the nearest one, Shimoda, is 5.2 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 Shikoku?
In the middle of the area, the sun rises at 6:22 am and sets at 5:17 pm: 10 h 55 min of daylight. In Tsubakidomarichō it rises 10 minutes earlier than in Shōno.
