Tides

Tides in Dahme pier

Today's high and low tides

  • ▼ Low tide 11:17 am -0.1 ft
  • ▲ High tide 6:29 pm 0.2 ft

↑ Rising The tide is rising. 5 h 27 min to high tide at 6:13 am.

In Dahme pier the astronomical tide is very small: about 0.3 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 11 (0.5 ft) and the lowest, on April 26 (-0.5 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

Where this tide comes from

No significant tide

Tides from the Heiligenhafen station (TICON-4), 11 mi from Dahme pier. Times and heights are its predictions.

How we calculate the tide

Sea and waves

The sea at Dahme pier

7-day waves

Sea stateSea state: smooth

Smooth Douglas 2 · moderate breeze, Beaufort 4
Waves 0.8 ft · 2.1 s from the southwest (233°)
Swell 0.2 ft · 2.1 s from the west
Current 0.1 mph toward the E

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

On the coast 9 mph SW · gusts 15
Offshore (6.7 mi ENE)Offshore 14 mph SW · gusts 18

Cross-offshore wind. The coast faces east and the wind comes off the land at an angle: calmer water near the shore, and bait and boats drift out to sea.

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 52.9 °F by Wednesday 4.

Water warmer than normal for late October (+2.8 °F).

Solunar periods

Today's activity: high
  • 1:39–3:39 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity
  • 2:11–4:11 pm Major · the moon passes underfoot · high activity
  • 11:39 am–12:39 pm Minor · moonset · medium activity
  • 5:43–6:43 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

Gentle slope

The bottom slopes gently: 16 ft deep 370 ft from shore and 33 ft at 0.8 mi. Right off the beach it already drops to about 16 ft.

From the shoreline out to sea, heading east.

How far from shore

  • 16 ft deep370 ft
  • 33 ft deep0.8 mi
  • 66 ft deepnot within 3.1 mi
  • 164 ft deepnot within 3.1 mi

For fishing, swimming and diving

  • Shore fishing. Deep water close in: about 16 ft just 330 ft out. Good for casting from rocks, jetties or the beach itself; current and surf hit harder here.
  • Swimming. The bottom drops quickly near the shore and you are soon out of your depth. Keep an eye on kids and weak swimmers.
  • Diving. Shallow near shore: you only reach 33 ft at 0.8 mi. For dives deeper than 33 ft, go by boat.

Right by the shore the bottom may drop even faster than shown.
