Where this tide comes from
Higashinaka has no station of its own, so we use the tide at Shimotsu (JMA), 7.3 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
The best window, 8:30 am to 9:20 am, combines slack water at high tide, little swell, light wind, weak current and the sun high. Also worth a look from 1:20 pm to 2:20 pm, with slack water at low tide, little swell, light wind and the sun high, though with current.
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.
Never dive alone and check with the local dive shop: this rating is a guide, not a substitute for a professional.

The moon in Higashinaka
Moon phase and position
Today the moon is 226,480 mi away and looks 32′ 46″ across.
Solunar periods
Today's activity: medium- 1:00–3:00 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity
- 1:33–3:33 pm Major · the moon passes underfoot · high activity
- 9:11–10:11 am Minor · moonset · medium activity
- 6:53–7:53 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.
