Tides in Pahaniemi

Today's high and low tides

  • ▲ High tide 10:35 am 0.2 ft
  • ▼ Low tide 5:19 pm 0.0 ft
  • ▲ High tide 11:11 pm 0.2 ft

↓ Falling The tide is falling. 3 h 2 min to low tide at 4:05 am.

In Pahaniemi 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 January 4 (0.5 ft) and the lowest, on April 29 (-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 Turku Ruissalo Saaronniemi station (TICON-4), 3.8 mi from Pahaniemi. Times and heights are its predictions.

How we calculate the tide

Sea and waves

The sea at Pahaniemi

7-day waves

Sea stateSea state: smooth

Smooth Douglas 2 · light breeze, Beaufort 2
Waves 0.5 ft · 2.9 s from the south-southwest (211°)
Swell 0.5 ft · 2.2 s from the south-southwest
Current 0.2 mph toward the SE

The waves you may find

  • Most commonMost common0.2 ft
  • Significant0.5 ft
  • Highest expectedHighest1.0 ft

One wave in seven is higher than the significant height, and about 3 times a day one reaches 1.0 ft. Before heading out, expect waves of up to 1.0 ft.

Wind on the coast and offshore

On the coast 5 mph SW · gusts 9
Offshore (16 mi SSW)Offshore 5 mph SW · gusts 8

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

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 46.8 °F by Wednesday 4.

Water warmer than normal for late October (+2.8 °F).

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 Pahaniemi 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
  • 1:19–2:19 pm Minor · moonset · medium activity
  • 4:29–5:29 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: 2.6 ft at 0.55 mi.

From the shoreline (0.65 mi from Pahaniemi) out to sea, heading southwest.

How far from shore

  • 16 ft deepnot within 0.55 mi
  • 33 ft deepnot within 0.55 mi
  • 66 ft deepnot within 0.55 mi
  • 164 ft deepnot within 0.55 mi

For fishing, swimming and diving

  • Shore fishing. Very shallow: the water doesn't reach 16 ft within 0.55 mi. Cast far from the beach, ideally around high tide.
  • 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: the water doesn't reach 33 ft within 0.55 mi. For deeper dives, take a boat farther out.

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) 0.55 mi out.
