↑ Rising The tide is rising. 2 h 3 min to high tide at 11:53 pm.
Tide coefficient 71 for the 11:37 am high tide and 71 for the 11:53 pm high tide. Average coefficient. The water rises and falls 1.5 ft between the highest high and the lowest low: a large range for this place. 70 is an average tide here; 90 and above means spring tides; below 45, neap tides. What is the tide coefficient?
2026 extremes: the highest tide of the year is on January 1 (1.0 ft) and the lowest, on November 5 (-1.0 ft).
Semidiurnal: two high and two low tides a day, of similar height.
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
Tide coefficient and range in October
The biggest tides of the month came from October 5 to 7 (coefficient 97, 1.9 ft range). The smallest, from October 14 to 15 (coefficient 57, 1.1 ft).

Sea stateSea state: smooth
The waves you may find
- Most commonMost common0.7 ft
- Significant1.4 ft
- Highest expectedHighest3.0 ft
One wave in seven is higher than the significant height, and about 3 times a day one reaches 3.0 ft. Before heading out, expect waves of up to 3.0 ft.
Wind on the coast and offshore
Cross-shore wind. The coast faces southeast and the wind blows along the shore: drift and current run parallel to the beach.
Wave height, next 7 daysWaves, next 7 days
Waves stay much the same all week. The biggest waves arrive on Monday 2: 1.7 ft with a period of 3 s, from the north-northeast (slight).
Water temperature
Water temperature →Water temperature changes how fish behave: in very cold or very warm water they feed less. The water is steady these days, with no sudden changes.

Your diving day at a glance
The best window, 11:00 am to 12:10 pm, combines slack water at high tide, little swell, light wind, weak current and the sun high. Also good from 2:20 pm to 3:00 pm, with little swell, light wind, weak current and the sun high. Also good from 8:20 am to 9:20 am, with little swell, light wind and weak current.
Slack water comes from the tide: in inlets, channels and between islands the water can keep running for an hour or two after. Ask the local dive shop.
Never dive alone and check with the local dive shop: this rating is a guide, not a substitute for a professional.

Moon phase and position
Today the moon is 226,461 mi away and looks 32′ 47″ across.
Solunar periods
Today's activity: high- 12:39–2:39 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity
- 1:11–3:11 pm Major · the moon passes underfoot · high activity
- 10:39–11:39 am Minor · moonset · medium activity
- 4:35–5:35 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
Drops off fastThe bottom drops off fast: the water is 33 ft deep just 460 ft from shore.
From the shoreline (1.5 mi from Aarhus) out to sea, heading southeast.
How far from shore
- 16 ft deep310 ft
- 33 ft deep460 ft
- 66 ft deepnot within 3.1 mi
- 164 ft deepnot within 3.1 mi
For fishing, swimming and diving
- Shore fishing. Deep water close in: about 18 ft just 330 ft out. Good for casting from rocks, jetties or the beach itself; current and surf hit harder here.
- Swimming. The bottom drops quickly near the shore and you are soon out of your depth. Keep an eye on kids and weak swimmers.
- Diving. 33 ft deep 460 ft from shore; 66 ft is far out (beyond 3.1 mi): for deeper dives, 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. Right by the shore the bottom may drop even faster than shown.
