Where this tide comes from
Narutochō-mitsuishi has no station of its own, so we use the tide at Sumoto (JMA), 20 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.

Wind on the coast and offshore
Cross-onshore wind. The coast faces east and the wind comes in from the sea at an angle: a bit more surf at the shore and drift along the coast, toward land.
Wave height, next 7 daysWaves, next 7 days
Waves build over the next few days. The biggest waves arrive on Saturday 31: 2.6 ft with a period of 4 s, from the west-northwest (slight).
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 72.3 °F by Wednesday 4.
Water warmer than normal for late October (+1.9 °F).

Moon phase and position
Today the moon is 226,480 mi away and looks 32′ 46″ across.
Solunar periods
Today's activity: medium- 1:03–3:03 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity
- 1:35–3:35 pm Major · the moon passes underfoot · high activity
- 9:14–10:14 am Minor · moonset · medium activity
- 6:55–7:55 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.

For fishing, swimming and diving
- Shore fishing. 33 ft of water just 1,300 ft from shore: a good cast reaches deep water. Current and surf hit harder here.
- Swimming. The water gets deeper little by little, but a few dozen yards out you can no longer stand.
- Diving. 33 ft deep 1,300 ft from shore; 66 ft is far out (0.95 mi): for deeper dives, go by boat.
Rough estimate: here the data comes in cells of about 0.3 mi and misses details near shore (rocks, sandbars, small coves).
