The sea at Hvide Sande
Sea stateSea state: moderate
The waves you may find
- Most commonMost common2.4 ft
- Significant4.9 ft
- Highest expectedHighest10.0 ft
One wave in seven is higher than the significant height, and about 3 times a day one reaches 10.0 ft. Before heading out, expect waves of up to 10.0 ft.
Wind on the coast and offshore
Cross-onshore wind. The coast faces west 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 Thursday 29: 6.2 ft with a period of 7 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.
Water warmer than normal for late October (+1.1 °F).

Surf in Hvide Sande today
Surf today
Poor- 2.8–4.3 ft surf at the shore, a good size with some punch
- 3.9 ft swell at 5 s from the west, short: weak, messy waves
- Light onshore wind (6 mph): a bit of chop
- Falling tide (low tide at 9:43 am)
- Light: First light 6:49 am · sunrise 7:28 am · sunset 4:54 pm · last light 5:33 pm
- Tide: high 4:03 am (3.2 ft), low 9:43 am (0.2 ft), high 4:35 pm (3.2 ft) and low 10:03 pm (0.5 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 53.8 °F: a 5/4 fullsuit with booties (and a hood if it’s windy).
- Energy: 75 kJ · Low power
Today’s surf at a glance
The best window, 7:00 am to 11:00 am, has a good size, though with a short-period swell. 12:00 pm to 1:00 pm can also work, with a good size, though with a short-period swell.
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 Hvide Sande today
Diving and snorkeling today
Likely visibility: fair- 2.4 ft swell at 5 s from the southwest: some surge on the bottom
- Light onshore wind (6 mph)
- 0.5 mph current toward the south-southeast, weak (model)
- Sun high: more light underwater
- Slack water today: high tide 4:03 am (3:48–4:20 am), low tide 9:43 am (9:28–9:58 am), high tide 4:35 pm (4:20–5:00 pm) and low tide 10:03 pm (9:48–10:18 pm)
- Likely visibility: fair. Swell (up to 5.3 ft at 6 s) over the last few days has stirred up the water. Based on the last 24 hours of data.
- Water at 53.8 °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 5:33 pm. Waning gibbous (85%), rising at 6:07 pm: a bright night.
Your diving day at a glance
The best window, 12:20 pm to 1:20 pm, combines light wind, weak current and the sun high. Also good from 4:10 pm to 4:50 pm, with slack water at high tide, 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.

Moon phase and position
Today the moon is 226,618 mi away and looks 32′ 45″ across.
Solunar periods
Today's activity: high- 1:51–3:51 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity
- 2:24–4:24 pm Major · the moon passes underfoot · high activity
- 12:09–1:09 pm Minor · moonset · medium activity
- 5:37–6:37 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 6.6 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. Shallow near shore: you only reach 33 ft at 0.9 mi. For dives deeper than 33 ft, go by boat.
