↓ Falling The tide is falling. 2 h 14 min to low tide at 11:13 am.

In Gråsten the astronomical tide is very small: about 0.4 ft between high and low tide. Here the sea level is moved mostly by wind and air pressure (storm surge), which can raise or lower it more than the tide itself.

2026 extremes: the highest tide of the year is on August 11 (0.5 ft) and the lowest, on May 25 (-0.6 ft).

Heights above mean sea level. Astronomical prediction: wind and air pressure can raise or lower the water by a few inches, and more in a storm. Not for navigation. mean sea level

Where this tide comes from

No significant tide

Tides from the Langballigau station (TICON-4), 7.0 mi from Gråsten. Times and heights are its predictions.

Water now52.2 °F

Today 52.2–52.5 °F air: 48 / 57 °F

Satellite (2 days ago) 55.8 °F measured 0.2 mi away

The satellite measured 3.6 °F more 2 days ago than the model gives now: the water is probably warmer than the forecast says.

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 (+3.3 °F).

The best window, 9:10 am to 12:10 pm, combines little swell, light wind, weak current and the sun high.

In Gråsten the tide barely moves the water, so there's no slack to wait for: swell, wind and current are what count.
