Tides in Frederiksværk

Today's high and low tides

  • ▲ High tide 12:24 am 0.4 ft
  • ▼ Low tide 6:51 am -0.3 ft
  • ▼ Low tide 6:40 pm -0.3 ft

↑ Rising The tide is rising. 3 h 49 min to high tide at 12:57 pm.

In Frederiksværk the astronomical tide is very small: about 0.8 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 29 (0.6 ft) and the lowest, on November 5 (-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 Frederiksværk station (DMI), 0.9 mi from Frederiksværk. Times and heights are its predictions.

How we calculate the tide

Sea and waves

The sea at Frederiksværk

7-day waves

Sea stateSea state: smooth

Smooth Douglas 2 · moderate breeze, Beaufort 4
Waves 0.8 ft · 2.5 s from the west (281°)
Swell 0.5 ft · 2.7 s from the west
Current 0.2 mph toward the SSE

The waves you may find

  • Most commonMost common0.4 ft
  • Significant0.8 ft
  • Highest expectedHighest1.7 ft

One wave in seven is higher than the significant height, and about 3 times a day one reaches 1.7 ft. Before heading out, expect waves of up to 1.7 ft.

Wind on the coast and offshore

On the coast 6 mph WNW · gusts 10
Offshore (11 mi W)Offshore 12 mph W · gusts 17

Cross-onshore wind. The coast faces southwest 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 Monday 2: 2.0 ft with a period of 3 s, from the north (slight).

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, 9:00 am to 12:00 pm, combines little swell, light wind, weak current and the sun high.

In Frederiksværk 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
  • 1:35–3:35 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity
  • 2:07–4:07 pm Major · the moon passes underfoot · high activity
  • 11:53 am–12:53 pm Minor · moonset · medium activity
  • 5:21–6:21 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: 16 ft at 0.35 mi from shore and 2.6 ft at 2.7 mi.

From the shoreline (0.9 mi from Frederiksværk) out to sea, heading southwest.

How far from shore

  • 16 ft deep0.35 mi
  • 33 ft deepnot within 2.7 mi
  • 66 ft deepnot within 2.7 mi
  • 164 ft deepnot within 2.7 mi

For fishing, swimming and diving

  • Shore fishing. Shallow, gradual bottom (16 ft at 0.35 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 2.7 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. There is land ahead (an island, a headland or the far shore) 2.7 mi out.
