Today in Kruså there are high tides at 5:46 am (0.2 ft) and 6:05 pm (0.4 ft) and low tide at 11:30 am. Right now the tide is rising toward the high tide at 5:46 am. The sun rises at 7:19 am and sets at 4:52 pm: 9 h 33 min of daylight. The moon is 85% illuminated (waning gibbous) and rises at 6:14 pm. Major solunar periods run from 1:46 am to 3:46 am and from 2:18 pm to 4:18 pm. The next spring tides arrive from November 9 to 11. There's a light breeze from the southwest (7 mph). Overcast, 51 °F.

Tides in Kruså

Today's high and low tides

  • ▼ Low tide 11:30 am -0.1 ft
  • ▲ High tide 6:05 pm 0.4 ft

↑ Rising The tide is rising. 5 h 20 min to high tide at 5:46 am.

In Kruså the astronomical tide is very small: about 0.5 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 24 (-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 Flensburg station (TICON-4), 4.1 mi from Kruså. Times and heights are its predictions.

How we calculate the tide

Sea and waves

The sea at Kruså

Hourly wind

Sea state

The wave model doesn't reach Kruså: it's on inland water (an estuary, sound or sheltered bay) or far from the open sea. Wind is still available right here.

Wind on the coast and offshore

On the coast 7 mph SW · gusts 19

The model doesn't separate offshore wind here: it's the same as on the coast.

Cross-shore wind. The coast faces southeast and the wind blows along the shore: drift and current run parallel to the beach.

Water temperature

Water temperature →
Water now52.2 °F
Today 52.2–52.5 °F air: 45 / 57 °F
Satellite (2 days ago) 55.9 °F measured 1.8 mi away

The satellite measured 3.8 °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 (+3.5 °F).

Solunar periods

Today's activity: high
  • 1:46–3:46 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity
  • 2:18–4:18 pm Major · the moon passes underfoot · high activity
  • 11:52 am–12:52 pm Minor · moonset · medium activity
  • 5:44–6:44 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

Deepens quickly

The bottom deepens quickly: 33 ft of water 750 ft from shore.

From the shoreline (1.8 mi from Kruså) out to sea, heading southeast.

How far from shore

  • 16 ft deep550 ft
  • 33 ft deep750 ft
  • 66 ft deepnot within 1.4 mi
  • 164 ft deepnot within 1.4 mi

For fishing, swimming and diving

  • Shore fishing. 33 ft of water just 750 ft from shore: a good cast reaches deep water. Current and surf hit harder here.
  • Swimming. The water gets deeper little by little, but a few dozen yards out you can no longer stand.
  • Diving. 33 ft deep 750 ft from shore; 66 ft is far out (beyond 1.4 mi): for deeper dives, go by boat.

Inside bays, estuaries and harbors the bottom changes a lot from spot to spot (channels and shoals): use this only as a rough guide. There is land ahead (an island, a headland or the far shore) 1.4 mi out.
