Tides in Barth
Today's high and low tides
- ▼ Next low tide 3:26 am -0.1 ft
- ▲ High tide 12:50 pm 0.1 ft
↓ Falling The tide is falling. 2 h 23 min to low tide at 3:26 am.
In Barth 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 August 10 (0.3 ft) and the lowest, on May 1 (-0.4 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 Barth
Sea stateSea state: smooth
The waves you may find
- Most commonMost common0.4 ft
- Significant0.8 ft
- Highest expectedHighest1.7 ft
One wave in seven is higher than the significant height, and about 3 times a day one reaches 1.7 ft. Before heading out, expect waves of up to 1.7 ft.
Wind on the coast and offshore
Offshore wind. The coast faces north and the wind blows from land out to sea: calm shore and clean waves, but watch the drift out to sea.
Wave height, next 7 daysWaves, next 7 days
Waves stay much the same all week. The biggest waves arrive on Thursday 29: 1.2 ft with a period of 3 s, from the west (smooth).
Water temperature
Water temperature →The satellite measured 2.7 °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 moon in Barth
Moon phase and position
Today the moon is 226,618 mi away and looks 32′ 45″ across.
Solunar periods
Today's activity: high- 1:32–3:32 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity
- 2:04–4:04 pm Major · the moon passes underfoot · high activity
- 11:33 am–12:33 pm Minor · moonset · medium activity
- 5:35–6:35 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

For fishing, swimming and diving
- Shore fishing. About 8.9 ft of water 330 ft out: long casts help, and so does a rising tide, which brings fish closer in.
- Swimming. The water gets deeper little by little, but a few dozen yards out you can no longer stand.
- Diving. Shallow: the water doesn't reach 33 ft within 3.1 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) 3.1 mi out. Where the bottom comes up to the surface there are shoals, rocks or an islet next to the profile.
