Today's high and low tides
- ▼ Next low tide 4:05 am 0.0 ft

↓ Falling The tide is falling. 3 h 6 min to low tide at 4:05 am.
In Salo 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

The sea at Salo
Sea state
The wave model doesn't reach Salo: it's on inland water (an estuary, sound or sheltered bay) or far from the open sea. Wind is still available right here.
Wind on the coast and offshore
The model doesn't separate offshore wind here: it's the same as on the coast.
Cross-onshore wind. The coast faces west 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.
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 46.5 °F by Wednesday 4.
Water warmer than normal for late October (+2.6 °F).

The moon in Salo
Moon phase and position
Today the moon is 226,597 mi away and looks 32′ 45″ across.
Solunar periods
Today's activity: high- 1:49–3:49 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity
- 2:21–4:21 pm Major · the moon passes underfoot · high activity
- 1:14–2:14 pm Minor · moonset · medium activity
- 4:27–5:27 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

From the shoreline (1.9 mi from Salo) out to sea, heading southwest.

For fishing, swimming and diving
- Shore fishing. Very shallow: the water doesn't reach 16 ft within 1.2 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 1.2 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) 1.2 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.
