  • ▲ High tide 12:45 pm 9.8 ft · coef. 77
  • ▼ Low tide 6:54 pm 2.3 ft

↓ Falling The tide is falling. 4 h 7 min to low tide at 6:35 am.

Tide coefficient 78 for the 12:21 am high tide and 77 for the 12:45 pm high tide. Average coefficient. The water rises and falls 8.0 ft between the highest high and the lowest low: an average range for this place. 70 is an average tide here; 90 and above means spring tides; below 45, neap tides. What is the tide coefficient?

2026 extremes: the highest tide of the year is on October 10 (11.0 ft) and the lowest, on April 18 (0.7 ft).

Semidiurnal: two high and two low tides a day, of similar height.

Heights above chart datum: the lowest astronomical tide (LAT), the zero of nautical charts in Europe. Astronomical prediction: wind and air pressure can raise or lower the water by a few inches, and more in a storm. Not for navigation. chart datum (LAT)

Tide coefficient and range in October

The biggest tides of the month came from October 9 to 12 (coefficient 85, 9.6 ft range). The smallest, from October 20 to 21 (coefficient 45, 5.1 ft).

How we calculate the tide

Sea and waves

The sea at Borkum

7-day waves

Sea stateSea state: slight

Slight Douglas 3 · gentle breeze, Beaufort 3
Waves 2.6 ft · 4.7 s from the west (281°)
Swell 1.6 ft · 4.8 s from the west-northwest
Current 0.8 mph toward the WSW

The waves you may find

  • Most commonMost common1.3 ft
  • Significant2.6 ft
  • Highest expectedHighest5.5 ft

One wave in seven is higher than the significant height, and about 3 times a day one reaches 5.5 ft. Before heading out, expect waves of up to 5.5 ft.

Wind on the coast and offshore

On the coast 11 mph WSW · gusts 17

The model doesn't separate offshore wind here: it's the same as on the coast.

Cross-shore wind. The coast faces north and the wind blows along the shore: drift and current run parallel to the beach.

Cross-shore Hourly wind →

Wave height, next 7 daysWaves, next 7 days

Waves build over the next few days. The biggest waves arrive on Monday 2: 5.6 ft with a period of 6 s, from the north-northwest (moderate).

Water temperature

Water now53.8 °F
Today 53.8–54.1 °F air: 52 / 55 °F
Satellite (2 days ago) 56.8 °F measured 1.3 mi away

The satellite measured 3.1 °F more 2 days ago than the model gives now: the water is probably warmer than the forecast says.

Water temperature changes how fish behave: in very cold or very warm water they feed less. The water is steady these days, with no sudden changes.

Water about normal for late October.

The best window is 2:00 pm to 5:43 pm, though with small waves and a short-period swell.

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, 10:50 am to 1:30 pm, combines slack water at high tide, little swell, light wind and the sun high, though with current.

Slack water comes from the tide: in inlets, channels and between islands the water can keep running for an hour or two after. Ask the local dive shop.

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: medium
  • 1:57–3:57 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity
  • 2:30–4:30 pm Major · the moon passes underfoot · high activity
  • 11:52 am–12:52 pm Minor · moonset · medium activity
  • 6:07–7:07 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 3 mi out for 33 ft of water.

From the shoreline (2 mi from Borkum) out to sea, heading north.

How far from shore

  • 16 ft deep2.6 mi
  • 33 ft deep3 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 2.6 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 3 mi. For dives deeper than 33 ft, go by boat.
