↑ Rising The tide is rising. 2 h 37 min to high tide at 3:23 am.

Tide coefficient 75 for the 3:23 am high tide and 74 for the 3:46 pm high tide. Average coefficient. The water rises and falls 9.2 ft between the highest high and the lowest low: an average range for this place. 70 is an average tide here; 90 and above means spring tides; below 45, neap tides. What is the tide coefficient?

2026 extremes: the highest tide of the year is on December 30 (12.6 ft) and the lowest, on April 1 (0.7 ft).

Semidiurnal: two high and two low tides a day, of similar height.

How we calculate the tide

Sea and waves

The sea at Neufelderkoog

7-day waves

Sea stateSea state: slight

Slight Douglas 3 · fresh breeze, Beaufort 5
Waves 3.2 ft · 5.2 s from the west (276°)
Swell 2.9 ft · 4.8 s from the west-northwest
Current 0.2 mph toward the E

The waves you may find

  • Most commonMost common1.6 ft
  • Significant3.2 ft
  • Highest expectedHighest6.7 ft

One wave in seven is higher than the significant height, and about 3 times a day one reaches 6.7 ft. Before heading out, expect waves of up to 6.7 ft.

Wind on the coast and offshore

On the coast 12 mph SW · gusts 21
Offshore (11 mi NW)Offshore 20 mph SW · gusts 27

Cross-onshore wind. The coast faces west and the wind comes in from the sea at an angle: a bit more surf at the shore and drift along the coast, toward land.

Wave height, next 7 daysWaves, next 7 days

Waves stay much the same all week. The biggest waves arrive on Thursday 29: 3.2 ft with a period of 5 s, from the west (slight).

Water temperature

Water now52.5 °F
Today 52.3–52.9 °F air: 49 / 55 °F
Satellite (2 days ago) 56.8 °F measured 0.3 mi away

The satellite measured 4.3 °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 (+1.4 °F).

Your diving day at a glance

The best window, 1:50 pm to 4:50 pm, combines slack water at high tide, light wind and weak current. Also good from 7:40 am to 10:40 am, with slack water at low tide, light wind and weak current.

Slack water comes from the tide: in inlets, channels and between islands the water can keep running for an hour or two after. Ask the local dive shop.

Never dive alone and check with the local dive shop: this rating is a guide, not a substitute for a professional.

Solunar periods

Today's activity: high
  • 1:48–3:48 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity
  • 2:20–4:20 pm Major · the moon passes underfoot · high activity
  • 11:45 am–12:45 pm Minor · moonset · medium activity
  • 5:55–6:55 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

Very shallow

Very shallow and flat: even 3.1 mi from shore the water is less than 16 ft deep.

From the shoreline (0.7 mi from Neufelderkoog) out to sea, heading west.

How far from shore

  • 16 ft deepnot within 3.1 mi
  • 33 ft deepnot within 3.1 mi
  • 66 ft deepnot within 3.1 mi
  • 164 ft deepnot within 3.1 mi

For fishing, swimming and diving

  • Shore fishing. Very shallow: the water doesn't reach 16 ft within 3.1 mi. Cast far from the beach, ideally around high tide.
  • Swimming. A very gentle way in with plenty of shallow water, good for kids. At low tide the water can be far out.
  • 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.
