Tides in Elsinore

Today's high and low tides

  • ▲ High tide 10:08 am 0.3 ft
  • ▼ Low tide 4:32 pm -0.1 ft
  • ▲ High tide 11:00 pm 0.5 ft

↓ Falling The tide is falling. 3 h 47 min to low tide at 4:28 am.

In Elsinore the astronomical tide is very small: about 0.6 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 January 2 (0.6 ft) and the lowest, on April 26 (-0.8 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 Helsingborg Sjov station (TICON-4), 2.9 mi from Elsinore. Times and heights are its predictions.

How we calculate the tide

Sea and waves

The sea at Elsinore

7-day waves

Sea stateSea state: smooth

Smooth Douglas 2 · moderate breeze, Beaufort 4
Waves 0.8 ft · 2.9 s from the west-southwest (254°)
Swell 0.7 ft · 2.6 s from the west
Current 1.5 mph toward the SSW

The waves you may find

  • Most commonMost common0.4 ft
  • Significant0.8 ft
  • Highest expectedHighest1.8 ft

One wave in seven is higher than the significant height, and about 3 times a day one reaches 1.8 ft. Before heading out, expect waves of up to 1.8 ft.

Wind on the coast and offshore

On the coast 7 mph SSW · gusts 13
Offshore (15 mi NNW)Offshore 17 mph SSW · gusts 23

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

Waves stay much the same all week. The biggest waves arrive on Wednesday 4: 2.2 ft with a period of 4 s, from the west-northwest (slight).

Your diving day at a glance

The best window, 1:30 pm to 4:30 pm, combines little swell, light wind and weak current. Also worth a look from 7:10 am to 7:50 am, with little swell and light wind, though with current.

In Elsinore 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
  • 1:33–3:33 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity
  • 2:05–4:05 pm Major · the moon passes underfoot · high activity
  • 11:51 am–12:51 pm Minor · moonset · medium activity
  • 5:18–6:18 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

Shallow, gradual

Shallow, gradual bottom: you need to go 2.5 mi out for 33 ft of water.

From the shoreline (0.8 mi from Elsinore) out to sea, heading northwest.

How far from shore

  • 16 ft deep0.65 mi
  • 33 ft deep2.5 mi
  • 66 ft deep3 mi
  • 164 ft deepnot within 3.1 mi

For fishing, swimming and diving

  • Shore fishing. Shallow, gradual bottom (16 ft at 0.65 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 near shore: you only reach 33 ft at 2.5 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.
