Tides

Tides in Amager Beach Park

Today's high and low tides

  • ▲ High tide 11:06 am 0.2 ft
  • ▼ Low tide 5:40 pm -0.3 ft

↓ Falling The tide is falling. 4 h 29 min to low tide at 5:23 am.

In Amager Beach Park the astronomical tide is very small: about 0.5 ft between high and low tide. Here the sea level is moved mostly by wind and air pressure (storm surge), which can raise or lower it more than the tide itself.

2026 extremes: the highest tide of the year is on February 26 (0.4 ft) and the lowest, on September 8 (-0.5 ft).

Heights above mean sea level. Astronomical prediction: wind and air pressure can raise or lower the water by a few inches, and more in a storm. Not for navigation. mean sea level

Where this tide comes from

No significant tide

Tides from the Kastrup Havn station (DMI), 1.0 mi from Amager Beach Park. Times and heights are its predictions.

How we calculate the tide

Sea and waves

The sea at Amager Beach Park

7-day waves

Sea stateSea state: smooth

Smooth Douglas 2 · gentle breeze, Beaufort 3
Waves 0.7 ft · 2.5 s from the south-southwest (211°)
Swell 0.2 ft · 2.6 s from the south
Current 1.0 mph toward the SW

The waves you may find

  • Most commonMost common0.4 ft
  • Significant0.7 ft
  • Highest expectedHighest1.6 ft

One wave in seven is higher than the significant height, and about 3 times a day one reaches 1.6 ft. Before heading out, expect waves of up to 1.6 ft.

Wind on the coast and offshore

On the coast 7 mph SSW · gusts 14
Offshore (7.7 mi NNE)Offshore 11 mph SW · gusts 15

Cross-offshore wind. The coast faces northeast and the wind comes off the land at an angle: calmer water near the shore, and bait and boats drift out to sea.

Wave height, next 7 daysWaves, next 7 days

Waves stay much the same all week. The biggest waves arrive on Thursday 29: 1.0 ft with a period of 3 s, from the south-southwest (smooth).

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 51.4 °F by Wednesday 4.

Water warmer than normal for late October (+1.7 °F).

Your diving day at a glance

The best window, 8:50 am to 11:50 am, combines little swell, light wind, weak current and the sun high.

In Amager Beach Park the tide barely moves the water, so there's no slack to wait for: swell, wind and current are what count.

Never dive alone and check with the local dive shop: this rating is a guide, not a substitute for a professional.

Solunar periods

Today's activity: high
  • 1:32–3:32 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity
  • 2:05–4:05 pm Major · the moon passes underfoot · high activity
  • 11:47 am–12:47 pm Minor · moonset · medium activity
  • 5:22–6:22 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.

Water depth

Gentle slope

The bottom slopes gently: 16 ft deep 0.6 mi from shore and 33 ft at 0.95 mi.

From the shoreline (950 ft from Amager Beach Park) out to sea, heading northeast.

How far from shore

  • 16 ft deep0.6 mi
  • 33 ft deep0.95 mi
  • 66 ft deepnot within 3.1 mi
  • 164 ft deepnot within 3.1 mi

For fishing, swimming and diving

  • Shore fishing. About 8.5 ft of water 330 ft out: long casts help, and so does a rising tide, which brings fish closer in.
  • Swimming. The water gets deeper little by little, but a few dozen yards out you can no longer stand.
  • Diving. Shallow near shore: you only reach 33 ft at 0.95 mi. For dives deeper than 33 ft, go by boat.

Inside bays, estuaries and harbors the bottom changes a lot from spot to spot (channels and shoals): use this only as a rough guide.
