↓ Falling The tide is falling. 1 h 18 min to low tide at 11:17 am.

In Dahme 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

The best window, 9:00 am to 12:00 pm, combines little swell, light wind, weak current and the sun high.

In Dahme the tide barely moves the water, so there's no slack to wait for: swell, wind and current are what count.
