Tides

Tides in Snoghøj

Today's high and low tides

  • ▲ High tide 1:23 am 0.4 ft
  • ▲ High tide 1:53 pm 0.4 ft
  • ▼ Low tide 7:42 pm -0.4 ft

↓ Falling The tide is falling. 1 h 44 min to low tide at 7:21 am.

In Snoghøj the astronomical tide is very small: about 0.9 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 January 28 (0.6 ft) and the lowest, on November 6 (-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 Middelfart Havn station (DMI), 1.3 mi from Snoghøj. Times and heights are its predictions.

How we calculate the tide

Sea and waves

The sea at Snoghøj

7-day waves

Sea stateSea state: smooth

Smooth Douglas 2 · gentle breeze, Beaufort 3
Waves 0.4 ft · 2.3 s from the southwest (217°)
Swell 0.3 ft · 2.1 s from the southwest
Current 0.2 mph toward the NE

The waves you may find

  • Most commonMost common0.2 ft
  • Significant0.4 ft
  • Highest expectedHighest0.8 ft

One wave in seven is higher than the significant height, and about 3 times a day one reaches 0.8 ft. Before heading out, expect waves of up to 0.8 ft.

Wind on the coast and offshore

On the coast 4 mph W · gusts 8
Offshore (19 mi S)Offshore 9 mph WNW · gusts 13

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

Waves stay much the same all week. The biggest waves arrive on Monday 2: 1.2 ft with a period of 3 s, from the north (smooth).

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 52.5 °F by Wednesday 4.

Water warmer than normal for late October (+3.4 °F).

Your diving day at a glance

The best window, 9:00 am to 12:00 pm, combines little swell, light wind, weak current and the sun high.

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

Never dive alone and check with the local dive shop: this rating is a guide, not a substitute for a professional.

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
  • 11:58 am–12:58 pm Minor · moonset · medium activity
  • 5:36–6:36 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 1,150 ft from shore.

From the shoreline (0.25 mi from Snoghøj) out to sea, heading southeast.

How far from shore

  • 16 ft deep1,000 ft
  • 33 ft deep1,150 ft
  • 66 ft deep0.35 mi
  • 164 ft deepnot within 1.3 mi

For fishing, swimming and diving

  • Shore fishing. 33 ft of water just 1,150 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. Shore diving works here: 33 ft at 1,150 ft and 66 ft at 0.35 mi from shore.

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) 1.3 mi out. The profile is turned slightly from the coast so it does not run into an island or a headland. Where the bottom comes up to the surface there are shoals, rocks or an islet next to the profile.
