2026 extremes: the highest tide of the year is on December 29 (2.3 ft) and the lowest, on November 4 (0.0 ft).
Mixed: two high and two low tides a day, but of quite different heights.
Heights above chart datum: the lowest astronomical tide (LAT), the zero of nautical charts in Europe. Astronomical prediction: wind and air pressure can raise or lower the water by a few inches, and more in a storm. Not for navigation. chart datum (LAT)

Where this tide comes from
Harboøre has no station of its own, so we use the tide at Thyborøn Kyst (DMI), 6.3 mi away. On the open coast the difference is usually a few minutes and inches; inside estuaries, rivers and enclosed bays it can be much larger.

The sea at Harboøre
Sea stateSea state: moderate
The waves you may find
- Most commonMost common2.4 ft
- Significant4.8 ft
- Highest expectedHighest9.8 ft
One wave in seven is higher than the significant height, and about 3 times a day one reaches 9.8 ft. Before heading out, expect waves of up to 9.8 ft.
Wind on the coast and offshore
Onshore wind. The coast faces west and the wind blows straight in from the sea: more surf and backwash at the shore, and bait and boats drift toward land.
Wave height, next 7 daysWaves, next 7 days
Waves stay much the same all week. The biggest waves arrive on Wednesday 28: 5.6 ft with a period of 6 s, from the west (moderate).
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.

Surf in Harboøre today
Surf today
Poor- 3.2–5.0 ft surf at the shore, a good size with some punch
- 4.2 ft swell at 6 s from the west, short: weak, messy waves
- Light onshore wind (12 mph): a bit of chop
- Falling tide (low tide at 10:03 am)
- Light: First light 6:48 am · sunrise 7:27 am · sunset 4:54 pm · last light 5:34 pm
- Tide: high 4:26 am (1.8 ft), low 10:03 am (0.3 ft), high 4:51 pm (2.0 ft) and low 10:28 pm (0.4 ft). Every break has its own tide: some work at low tide and others at high tide. The tide doesn’t change the score here.
- Water at 54.3 °F: a 5/4 fullsuit with booties (and a hood if it’s windy).
- Energy: 123 kJ · Medium power
Today’s surf at a glance
The best window, 7:00 am to 10:00 am, has a good size, though with a short-period swell and onshore wind. 3:00 pm to 4:00 pm can also work, with a good size, though with a short-period swell, wind swell and onshore wind.
An estimate for this stretch of coast, not for a specific break: every beach or reef works its own way (its tide, bottom and angle). Check it when you get there.
Follow the flags and the lifeguards, and don’t paddle out if the surf is above your level: this score is a guide, not a substitute for what you see when you get there.
Diving in Harboøre today
Diving and snorkeling today
Likely visibility: fair- Slack water around low tide (10:03 am): little current from 9:48 am to 10:20 am
- 4.4 ft swell at 6 s from the west: some surge on the bottom
- Moderate onshore wind (16 mph)
- 0.9 mph current toward the northeast (model)

- Likely visibility: fair. Swell (up to 4.6 ft at 6 s) and rain (0.29 in) over the last few days have stirred up the water. Based on the last 24 hours of data.
- Water at 54.3 °F: a 7 mm semi-dry suit, with hood, gloves and booties.
- Snorkeling: better not, with these waves, wind or current.
- Night dive: dark from 5:34 pm. Waning gibbous (93%), rising at 5:09 pm: a bright night.
Your diving day at a glance
The best window, 9:50 am to 12:50 pm, combines slack water at low tide and the sun high, though with some swell, moderate wind and current. Also worth a look from 7:30 am to 8:30 am, with light wind, though with tidal current, some swell and 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.

Moon phase and position
Today the moon is 226,461 mi away and looks 32′ 47″ across.
Solunar periods
Today's activity: high- 12:48–2:48 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity
- 1:19–3:19 pm Major · the moon passes underfoot · high activity
- 10:52–11:52 am Minor · moonset · medium activity
- 4:39–5:39 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.

For fishing, swimming and diving
- Shore fishing. About 8.2 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. 33 ft deep 0.5 mi from shore; 66 ft is far out (1.6 mi): for deeper dives, go by boat.
