Where this tide comes from
Norden has no station of its own, so we use the tide at Norderney Riffgat (TICON-4), 7.4 mi away. On the open coast the difference is usually a few minutes and inches; inside estuaries, rivers and enclosed bays it can be much larger.

The sea at Norden
Sea stateSea state: slight
The waves you may find
- Most commonMost common0.9 ft
- Significant1.7 ft
- Highest expectedHighest3.6 ft
One wave in seven is higher than the significant height, and about 3 times a day one reaches 3.6 ft. Before heading out, expect waves of up to 3.6 ft.
Wind on the coast and offshore
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.
Wave height, next 7 daysWaves, next 7 days
Waves build over the next few days. The biggest waves arrive on Monday 2: 4.7 ft with a period of 6 s, from the north-northwest (moderate).
Water temperature
Water temperature →The satellite measured 4.1 °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.

Your diving day at a glance
The best window, 11:00 am to 2:00 pm, combines slack water at high tide, little swell, light wind, weak current and the sun high. Also good from 6:50 am to 8:00 am, with slack water at low tide, little swell, light wind and weak 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.

The moon in Norden
Moon phase and position
Today the moon is 226,618 mi away and looks 32′ 45″ across.
Solunar periods
Today's activity: medium- 1:55–3:55 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity
- 2:28–4:28 pm Major · the moon passes underfoot · high activity
- 11:50 am–12:50 pm Minor · moonset · medium activity
- 6:05–7:05 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.
