Characteristic features of the oceanic surface flow pattern in the coastal waters off Kyogamisaki, Kyoto Prefecture wee studied using ADCP observations from 1992 to 1995. Using to the current direction and velocity at the 10m layer of the 236 data sets, surface flow patterns were classified into five typical types. Strong northeastward flows over 1 kt (type I) were apt to appear in summer. Strong eastward flows with a clear axis (type IIa) and similar flows but without a clear axis (type IIb) appeared from spring to autumn. On the other hand, weak eastward flows under 1 kt (type IIc) and unstable or westward weak flows (type III) frequently appeared in winter. These seasonal variations in flow types in the coastal waters off Kyogamisaki were related to the seasonal changes of the volume transport of the Tsushima Warm Current off Wakasa Bay
