↓ Falling The tide is falling. 1 h 20 min to low tide at 9:39 am.

Tide coefficient 78 for the 2:18 am high tide and 76 for the 2:32 pm high tide. Average coefficient. The water rises and falls 10.3 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 October 10 (13.8 ft) and the lowest, on April 1 (0.9 ft).

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

Heights above chart datum: the lowest astronomical tide (LAT), the zero of nautical charts in Europe. Astronomical prediction: wind and air pressure can raise or lower the water by a few inches, and more in a storm. Not for navigation. chart datum (LAT)

Where this tide comes from

B · Nearby station

Tümlauer Koog has no station of its own, so we use the tide at Eidersperrwerk (außen, TICON-4), 8.6 mi away. On the open coast the difference is usually a few minutes and inches; inside estuaries, rivers and enclosed bays it can be much larger.

How we calculate the tide

Sea and waves

The sea at Tümlauer Koog

7-day waves

Sea stateSea state: slight

Slight Douglas 3 · light breeze, Beaufort 2
Waves 2.6 ft · 5.3 s from the west (267°)
Swell 2.6 ft · 4.3 s from the west
Current 0.4 mph toward the NNW

The waves you may find

  • Most commonMost common1.3 ft
  • Significant2.6 ft
  • Highest expectedHighest5.4 ft

One wave in seven is higher than the significant height, and about 3 times a day one reaches 5.4 ft. Before heading out, expect waves of up to 5.4 ft.

Wind on the coast and offshore

On the coast 3 mph W · gusts 5

The model doesn't separate offshore wind here: it's the same as on the coast.

Onshore wind. The coast faces west and the wind blows straight in from the sea: more surf and backwash at the shore, and bait and boats drift toward land.

Onshore Hourly wind →

Wave height, next 7 daysWaves, next 7 days

Waves stay much the same all week. The biggest waves arrive on Thursday 29: 4.0 ft with a period of 5 s, from the west-southwest (slight).

Water temperature

Water temperature →
Water now54.0 °F
Today 53.6–54.1 °F air: 50 / 56 °F
Satellite (2 days ago) 56.8 °F measured 0.7 mi away

The satellite measured 2.9 °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 (+2.0 °F).

Your diving day at a glance

The best window, 1:30 pm to 3:30 pm, combines slack water at high tide, light wind, weak current and the sun high. Also good from 8:00 am to 9:30 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
  • 1:49–3:49 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity
  • 2:21–4:21 pm Major · the moon passes underfoot · high activity
  • 11:50 am–12:50 pm Minor · moonset · medium activity
  • 5:52–6:52 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 (0.85 mi from Tümlauer Koog) 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.
