Tides

Tides in Sandla

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. 1 h 56 min to low tide at 2:44 am.

In Sandla 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), 104 mi from Sandla. Times and heights are its predictions.

Sea and waves

Slight Douglas 3 · gentle breeze, Beaufort 3
Waves 2.0 ft · 3.7 s from the south (174°)

One wave in seven is higher than the significant height, and about 3 times a day one reaches 4.2 ft. Before heading out, expect waves of up to 4.2 ft.

On the coast 7 mph S · gusts 14
Offshore (5.4 mi SW)Offshore 11 mph SSW · gusts 19

Cross-onshore wind. The coast faces southeast 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.

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 Sandla 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
  • 1:50–3:50 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity
  • 2:22–4:22 pm Major · the moon passes underfoot · high activity
  • 12:37–1:37 pm Minor · moonset · medium activity
  • 5:06–6:06 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

Shallow, gradual

Shallow, gradual bottom: you need to go 1.6 mi out for 33 ft of water.

From the shoreline (1 mi from Sandla) out to sea, heading southeast.

How far from shore

  • 16 ft deep0.55 mi
  • 33 ft deep1.6 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 0.55 mi): cast far from the beach and fish the high tide, when there is more water close in.
  • Swimming. A very gentle way in with plenty of shallow water, good for kids. At low tide the water can be far out.
  • Diving. Shallow near shore: you only reach 33 ft at 1.6 mi. For dives deeper than 33 ft, go by boat.
