2026 extremes: the highest tide of the year is on January 28 (0.7 ft) and the lowest, on November 4 (-0.7 ft).
Semidiurnal: two high and two low tides a day, of similar height.

Where this tide comes from
Blokhus has no station of its own, so we use the tide at Aalborg Øst (DMI), 19 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
Sea stateSea state: slight
The waves you may find
- Most commonMost common1.6 ft
- Significant3.3 ft
- Highest expectedHighest6.7 ft
One wave in seven is higher than the significant height, and about 3 times a day one reaches 6.7 ft. Before heading out, expect waves of up to 6.7 ft.
Wind on the coast and offshore
Cross-shore wind. The coast faces northwest 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 Wednesday 28: 3.5 ft with a period of 7 s, from the west (slight).
Water temperature

Surf in Blokhus today
Surf today
Fair- 2.0–3.1 ft surf at the shore, a fun size for most surfers
- 2.5 ft swell at 7 s from the west, short: weak, messy waves
- Light offshore wind (9 mph): it holds up and grooms the waves
- Rising tide (low tide at 2:46 pm)
- Light: First light 6:43 am · sunrise 7:24 am · sunset 4:46 pm · last light 5:27 pm
- Tide: low 2:47 am (-0.4 ft), high 10:07 am (0.3 ft), low 2:46 pm (-0.5 ft) and high 10:31 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 52.7 °F: a 5/4 fullsuit with booties (and a hood if it’s windy).
- Energy: 55 kJ · Low power
Today’s surf at a glance
The best window, 9:00 am to 12:00 pm, has a good size and light offshore wind, though with a short-period swell. 7:00 am to 8:00 am can also work, with light offshore wind, 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 Blokhus today
Diving and snorkeling today
Likely visibility: poor- Slack water around high tide (10:07 am): little current from 9:50 am to 10:22 am
- 2.5 ft swell at 7 s from the west: some surge on the bottom
- Light offshore wind (9 mph)
- 0.2 mph current toward the east-northeast, weak (model)
- Sun high: more light underwater
- Slack water today: low tide 2:47 am (2:20–3:10 am), high tide 10:07 am (9:50–10:22 am), low tide 2:46 pm (2:30–3:10 pm) and high tide 10:31 pm (10:16–10:46 pm)
- Likely visibility: poor. Swell (up to 4.2 ft at 7 s) and rain (0.36 in) over the last few days have stirred up the water. Based on the last 24 hours of data.
- Water at 52.7 °F: a 7 mm semi-dry suit, with hood, gloves and booties.
- Snorkeling: doable, with some waves or wind.
- Night dive: dark from 5:27 pm. Waning gibbous (93%), rising at 4:57 pm: a bright night.
Your diving day at a glance
The best window, 9:10 am to 10:40 am, combines slack water at high tide, light wind, weak current and the sun high. Also good from 2:20 pm to 3:30 pm, with slack water at low tide, light wind, weak current and the sun high. Also good from 7:20 am to 8:10 am, with 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 226,461 mi away and looks 32′ 47″ across.
Solunar periods
Today's activity: high- 12:42–2:42 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity
- 1:13–3:13 pm Major · the moon passes underfoot · high activity
- 10:53–11:53 am Minor · moonset · medium activity
- 4:27–5:27 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. Shallow, gradual bottom (16 ft at 0.45 mi): cast far from the beach and fish the high tide, when there is more water close 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 1.2 mi. For dives deeper than 33 ft, go by boat.
