Where this tide comes from
Blokhus Strand has no station of its own, so we use the tide at Aalborg Øst (DMI), 20 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 Blokhus Strand
Sea stateSea state: slight
The waves you may find
- Most commonMost common1.7 ft
- Significant3.4 ft
- Highest expectedHighest7.0 ft
One wave in seven is higher than the significant height, and about 3 times a day one reaches 7.0 ft. Before heading out, expect waves of up to 7.0 ft.
Wind on the coast and offshore
Cross-onshore wind. The coast faces northwest 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: 3.7 ft with a period of 5 s, from the north (slight).
Water temperature
Water temperature →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 52.6 °F by Wednesday 4.
Water warmer than normal for late October (+1.6 °F).

- 1.6 ft swell at 7 s from the west, short: weak, messy waves

- Rising tide (high tide at 10:54 am)

- Tide: low 3:31 am (-0.4 ft), high 10:54 am (0.3 ft), low 3:37 pm (-0.5 ft) and high 11:24 pm (0.6 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 53.4 °F: a 5/4 fullsuit with booties (and a hood if it’s windy).
- Energy: 35 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 and wind 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.

Moon phase and position
Today the moon is 226,618 mi away and looks 32′ 45″ across.
Solunar periods
Today's activity: high- 1:45–3:45 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity
- 2:18–4:18 pm Major · the moon passes underfoot · high activity
- 12:18–1:18 pm Minor · moonset · medium activity
- 5:16–6:16 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

- 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 14 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. Shallow near shore: you only reach 33 ft at 1.2 mi. For dives deeper than 33 ft, go by boat.
