- ▲ High tide 6:38 pm 1.3 ft · coef. 70
↑ Rising The tide is rising. 4 h 2 min to high tide at 6:03 am.
Tide coefficient 70 for the 6:03 am high tide and 70 for the 6:38 pm high tide. Average coefficient. The water rises and falls 1.0 ft between the highest high and the lowest low: an average 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 29 (1.5 ft) and the lowest, on October 6 (0.0 ft).
Semidiurnal: two high and two low tides a day, of similar height.
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)
Tide coefficient and range in October
The biggest tides of the month came from October 5 to 7 (coefficient 97, 1.5 ft range). The smallest, from October 13 to 14 (coefficient 55, 0.8 ft).

Where this tide comes from
Løkken has no station of its own, so we use the tide at Hirtshals (DMI), 18 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 Løkken
Sea stateSea state: slight
The waves you may find
- Most commonMost common1.6 ft
- Significant3.2 ft
- Highest expectedHighest6.6 ft
One wave in seven is higher than the significant height, and about 3 times a day one reaches 6.6 ft. Before heading out, expect waves of up to 6.6 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 Thursday 29: 3.3 ft with a period of 7 s, from the west (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.
Water warmer than normal for late October (+1.6 °F).

Surf in Løkken today
Surf today
Poor- 1.7–2.6 ft surf at the shore, a fun size for most surfers
- 1.3 ft swell at 6 s from the west, short: weak, messy waves
- 2.2 ft wind swell at 3 s: messy waves
- Moderate onshore wind (14 mph): choppy, blown-out waves
- Falling tide (low tide at 11:48 am)
- Light: First light 6:45 am · sunrise 7:26 am · sunset 4:43 pm · last light 5:24 pm
- Tide: high 6:03 am (1.1 ft), low 11:48 am (0.2 ft) and high 6:38 pm (1.3 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: 22 kJ · Low power
Today’s surf at a glance
The best window is 7:00 am to 11:00 am, 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 Løkken today
Diving and snorkeling today
Likely visibility: good- Slack water around low tide (11:48 am): little current from 11:30 am to 12:03 pm
- 3.0 ft surface waves
- Moderate onshore wind (14 mph)
- 0.5 mph current toward the east-northeast, weak (model)
- Sun high: more light underwater
- Slack water today: high tide 6:03 am (5:48–6:20 am), low tide 11:48 am (11:30 am–12:03 pm) and high tide 6:38 pm (6:20–6:53 pm)
- Likely visibility: good. Swell (up to 3.0 ft at 7 s) over the last few days has 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 5:24 pm. Waning gibbous (85%), rising at 5:44 pm: a bright night.
Your diving day at a glance
The best window, 11:10 am to 12:20 pm, combines slack water at low tide, weak current and the sun high, though with moderate wind. Also worth a look from 2:00 pm to 4:20 pm, with weak current, though with tidal current and moderate wind.
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- 1:45–3:45 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity
- 2:17–4:17 pm Major · the moon passes underfoot · high activity
- 12:19–1:19 pm Minor · moonset · medium activity
- 5:14–6:14 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 1.1 mi. For dives deeper than 33 ft, go by boat.
