The best window, 4:30 pm to 5:20 pm, combines moonrise and sunset, though with rising pressure. Also good from 12:30 am to 2:30 am, with a major period. Also worth a try from 1:00 pm to 3:00 pm, with a major period, though with rising pressure.

Species with the most records nearby: Atlantic cod, European plaice, whiting and European flounder. October is one of the months when these are seen most: whiting. What you can catch

Tides

Tides in Brøndby

Today's high and low tides

  • ▼ Low tide 2:04 am -0.2 ft
  • ▲ High tide 8:43 am 0.2 ft
  • ▼ Low tide 2:49 pm -0.1 ft
  • ▲ High tide 8:17 pm 0.1 ft

↓ Falling The tide is falling. 2 h 56 min to low tide at 2:45 am.

In Brøndby the astronomical tide is very small: about 0.4 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 July 14 (0.2 ft) and the lowest, on December 25 (-0.2 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 Hundige Havn station (DMI), 3.9 mi from Brøndby. Times and heights are its predictions.

How we calculate the tide

Sea and waves

The sea at Brøndby

7-day waves

Sea stateSea state: calm (rippled)

Calm (rippled) Douglas 1 · moderate breeze, Beaufort 4
Waves 0.3 ft · 2.3 s from the south (191°)
Swell 0.2 ft · 2.2 s from the south
Current 0.2 mph toward the SW

The waves you may find

  • Most commonMost common0.2 ft
  • Significant0.3 ft
  • Highest expectedHighest0.7 ft

One wave in seven is higher than the significant height, and about 3 times a day one reaches 0.7 ft. Before heading out, expect waves of up to 0.7 ft.

Wind on the coast and offshore

On the coast 6 mph SSW · gusts 12
Offshore (11 mi SSE)Offshore 13 mph SW · gusts 17

Cross-onshore wind. The coast faces south 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 stay much the same all week. The biggest waves arrive on Wednesday 28: 1.2 ft with a period of 3 s, from the south (smooth).

Water now52.2 °F
Today 52.2–52.5 °F air: 49 / 56 °F

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 Tuesday 3.

Water warmer than normal for late October (+1.3 °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 Brøndby 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
  • 12:30–2:30 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity
  • 1:01–3:01 pm Major · the moon passes underfoot · high activity
  • 10:25–11:25 am Minor · moonset · medium activity
  • 4:31–5:31 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

Very shallow

Very shallow and flat: 3.1 mi from shore the water is still only about 24 ft deep.

From the shoreline (2.5 mi from Brøndby) out to sea, heading south.

How far from shore

  • 16 ft deep1.1 mi
  • 33 ft deepnot within 3.1 mi
  • 66 ft deepnot within 3.1 mi
  • 164 ft deepnot within 3.1 mi

For fishing, swimming and diving

  • Shore fishing. Shallow, gradual bottom (16 ft at 1.1 mi): cast far from the beach and fish the high tide, when there is more water close in.
  • Swimming. A very gentle way in with plenty of shallow water, good for kids. At low tide the water can be far out.
  • Diving. Shallow: the water doesn't reach 33 ft within 3.1 mi. For deeper dives, take a boat farther out.

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