Today's high and low tides

  • ▲ High tide 1:06 pm 0.1 ft

↓ Falling The tide is falling. 4 h 43 min to low tide at 4:45 am.

In Ostseebad Zinnowitz 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 April 30 (-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

Sea and waves

The sea at Ostseebad Zinnowitz

7-day waves

Sea stateSea state: calm (rippled)

Calm (rippled) Douglas 1 · light breeze, Beaufort 2
Waves 0.3 ft · 2.1 s from the northwest (318°)
Swell 0.3 ft · 1.9 s from the northwest
Current 0.0 mph toward the E

The waves you may find

  • Most commonMost common0.2 ft
  • Significant0.3 ft
  • Highest expectedHighest0.7 ft

One wave in seven is higher than the significant height, and about 3 times a day one reaches 0.7 ft. Before heading out, expect waves of up to 0.7 ft.

Wind on the coast and offshore

On the coast 5 mph WSW · gusts 10
Offshore (6.4 mi SE)Offshore 7 mph WSW · gusts 11

Offshore wind. The coast faces northeast and the wind blows from land out to sea: calm shore and clean waves, but watch the drift out to sea.

Solunar periods

Today's activity: high
  • 1:27–3:27 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity
  • 1:59–3:59 pm Major · the moon passes underfoot · high activity
  • 11:26 am–12:26 pm Minor · moonset · medium activity
  • 5:32–6:32 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 2.2 mi out for 33 ft of water.

From the shoreline (0.55 mi from Ostseebad Zinnowitz) out to sea, heading northeast.

How far from shore

  • 16 ft deep1,100 ft
  • 33 ft deep2.2 mi
  • 66 ft deepnot within 3.1 mi
  • 164 ft deepnot within 3.1 mi

For fishing, swimming and diving

  • Shore fishing. About 7.2 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 near shore: you only reach 33 ft at 2.2 mi. For dives deeper than 33 ft, go by boat.
