Tides in Wees
Today's high and low tides
- ▲ High tide 4:55 am 0.2 ft
- ▼ Low tide 10:41 am -0.1 ft
- ▲ High tide 5:14 pm 0.3 ft
- ▼ Low tide 11:26 pm -0.1 ft
↑ Rising The tide is rising. 5 h 59 min to high tide at 5:46 am.
In Wees the astronomical tide is very small: about 0.5 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 24 (-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

Where this tide comes from
Tides from the Flensburg station (TICON-4), 3.4 mi from Wees. Times and heights are its predictions.

The sea at Wees
Sea state
The wave model doesn't reach Wees: 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-offshore wind. The coast faces northwest 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
Water temperature →The satellite measured 3.8 °F more yesterday 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 (+3.2 °F).

The moon in Wees
Moon phase and position
Today the moon is 226,461 mi away and looks 32′ 47″ across.
Solunar periods
Today's activity: high- 12:42–2:42 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity
- 1:13–3:13 pm Major · the moon passes underfoot · high activity
- 10:30–11:30 am Minor · moonset · medium activity
- 4:51–5:51 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 slopeThe bottom slopes gently: 16 ft deep 550 ft from shore and 33 ft at 0.5 mi. Right off the beach it already drops to about 12 ft.
From the shoreline (1.4 mi from Wees) out to sea, heading northwest.
How far from shore
- 16 ft deep550 ft
- 33 ft deep0.5 mi
- 66 ft deepnot within 1.8 mi
- 164 ft deepnot within 1.8 mi
For fishing, swimming and diving
- Shore fishing. About 12 ft of water 330 ft out: long casts help, and so does a rising tide, which brings fish closer in.
- 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 0.5 mi from shore; 66 ft is far out (beyond 1.8 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) 1.8 mi out. Where the bottom comes up to the surface there are shoals, rocks or an islet next to the profile.
