Tides

Tides in Läätsa

Today's high and low tides

  • ▲ High tide 8:29 am 0.3 ft
  • ▼ Low tide 4:01 pm 0.1 ft

↓ Falling The tide is falling. 19 min to low tide at 2:44 am.

In Läätsa the astronomical tide is very small: about 0.2 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 December 25 (0.6 ft) and the lowest, on April 26 (-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 Hanko Pikku Kolalahti station (TICON-4), 118 mi from Läätsa. Times and heights are its predictions.

How we calculate the tide

Sea and waves

The sea at Läätsa

7-day waves

Sea stateSea state: slight

Slight Douglas 3 · gentle breeze, Beaufort 3
Waves 2.2 ft · 4.5 s from the south-southwest (210°)
Swell 1.8 ft · 4.4 s from the southwest
Current 0.2 mph toward the E

The waves you may find

  • Most commonMost common1.1 ft
  • Significant2.2 ft
  • Highest expectedHighest4.6 ft

One wave in seven is higher than the significant height, and about 3 times a day one reaches 4.6 ft. Before heading out, expect waves of up to 4.6 ft.

Wind on the coast and offshore

On the coast 8 mph S · gusts 15
Offshore (10 mi S)Offshore 11 mph S · gusts 18

Onshore wind. The coast faces south and the wind blows straight in from the sea: more surf and backwash at the shore, and bait and boats drift toward land.

Water warmer than normal for late October (+4.6 °F).

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.

Your diving day at a glance

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

In Läätsa 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
  • 1:52–3:52 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity
  • 2:25–4:25 pm Major · the moon passes underfoot · high activity
  • 12:37–1:37 pm Minor · moonset · medium activity
  • 5:11–6:11 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

Very shallow

Very shallow and flat: 3.1 mi from shore the water is still only about 18 ft deep.

From the shoreline out to sea, heading south.

How far from shore

  • 16 ft deep2.3 mi
  • 33 ft deepnot within 3.1 mi
  • 66 ft deepnot within 3.1 mi
  • 164 ft deepnot within 3.1 mi

For fishing, swimming and diving

  • Shore fishing. Shallow, gradual bottom (16 ft at 2.3 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: the water doesn't reach 33 ft within 3.1 mi. For deeper dives, take a boat farther out.

Where the bottom comes up to the surface there are shoals, rocks or an islet next to the profile.
