Tides in Glücksburg
Today's high and low tides
- ▲ High tide 5:32 am 0.2 ft
- ▼ Next low tide 11:13 am -0.1 ft
- ▲ High tide 5:56 pm 0.3 ft
↓ Falling The tide is falling. 5 h 35 min to low tide at 11:13 am.
In Glücksburg the astronomical tide is very small: about 0.4 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 May 25 (-0.6 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 Glücksburg
Sea state
The wave model doesn't reach Glücksburg: it's on inland water (an estuary, sound or sheltered bay) or far from the open sea. Wind is still available right here.
Wind on the coast and offshore
The model doesn't separate offshore wind here: it's the same as on the coast.
Cross-shore wind. The coast faces north and the wind blows along the shore: drift and current run parallel to the beach.
Water temperature
Water temperature →The satellite measured 3.8 °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 warmer than normal for late October (+3.4 °F).

Steady now (+0.02 inHg in 3 hours). Over the next 48 hours: +0.22 inHg. Steady pressure: anglers expect normal activity. Fast changes, either way, tend to affect fishing.

The moon in Glücksburg
Moon phase and position
Today the moon is 226,618 mi away and looks 32′ 45″ across.
Solunar periods
Today's activity: high- 1:45–3:45 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity
- 2:18–4:18 pm Major · the moon passes underfoot · high activity
- 11:51 am–12:51 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
Deepens quicklyThe bottom deepens quickly: 33 ft of water 850 ft from shore.
From the shoreline (1.1 mi from Glücksburg) out to sea, heading north.
How far from shore
- 16 ft deep470 ft
- 33 ft deep850 ft
- 66 ft deepnot within 2 mi
- 164 ft deepnot within 2 mi
For fishing, swimming and diving
- Shore fishing. Deep water close in: about 12 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. 33 ft deep 850 ft from shore; 66 ft is far out (beyond 2 mi): for deeper dives, go by boat.
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) 2 mi out. Where the bottom comes up to the surface there are shoals, rocks or an islet next to the profile.
