↓ Falling The tide is falling. 31 min to low tide at 10:11 am.
In Kalajoen hiekkasärkät 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 12 (0.6 ft) and the lowest, on May 2 (-0.7 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

The sea at Kalajoen hiekkasärkät
Sea stateSea state: slight
The waves you may find
- Most commonMost common1.3 ft
- Significant2.7 ft
- Highest expectedHighest5.7 ft
One wave in seven is higher than the significant height, and about 3 times a day one reaches 5.7 ft. Before heading out, expect waves of up to 5.7 ft.
Wind on the coast and offshore
Cross-offshore wind. The coast faces northwest and the wind comes off the land at an angle: calmer water near the shore, and bait and boats drift out to sea.
Wave height, next 7 daysWaves, next 7 days
Waves build over the next few days. The biggest waves arrive on Tuesday 3: 5.1 ft with a period of 5 s, from the north (moderate).
Water temperature
Water temperature →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 44.3 °F by Wednesday 4.
Water warmer than normal for late October (+2.2 °F).
