Today's high and low tides

  • ▼ Low tide 1:14 am 0.1 ft

↑ Rising The tide is rising. 6 h 53 min to high tide at 9:15 am.

In Jūrkalne the astronomical tide is very small: about 0.1 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 December 26 (0.3 ft) and the lowest, on April 19 (-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

Where this tide comes from

No significant tide

Tides from the Landsort station (TICON-4), 177 mi from Jūrkalne. Times and heights are its predictions.

How we calculate the tide

Sea and waves

The sea at Jūrkalne

7-day waves

Sea stateSea state: slight

Slight Douglas 3 · gentle breeze, Beaufort 3
Waves 1.8 ft · 4.8 s from the southwest (231°)
Swell 1.7 ft · 4.2 s from the southwest
Current 0.1 mph toward the N

The waves you may find

  • Most commonMost common0.9 ft
  • Significant1.8 ft
  • Highest expectedHighest3.8 ft

One wave in seven is higher than the significant height, and about 3 times a day one reaches 3.8 ft. Before heading out, expect waves of up to 3.8 ft.

Wind on the coast and offshore

On the coast 7 mph SSE · gusts 14
Offshore (5.5 mi W)Offshore 11 mph SSE · gusts 16

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 warmer than normal for late October (+4.0 °F).

The best window, 7:00 am to 11:00 am, has light offshore wind, though with small waves and a short-period swell.

An estimate for this stretch of coast, not for a specific break: every beach or reef works its own way (its tide, bottom and angle). Check it when you get there.

Follow the flags and the lifeguards, and don’t paddle out if the surf is above your level: this score is a guide, not a substitute for what you see when you get there.

Your diving day at a glance

The best window, 9:20 am to 12:20 pm, combines little swell, light wind, weak current and the sun high.

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

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
  • 1:56–3:56 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity
  • 2:28–4:28 pm Major · the moon passes underfoot · high activity
  • 12:26–1:26 pm Minor · moonset · medium activity
  • 5:30–6:30 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

Shallow, gradual

Shallow, gradual bottom: you need to go 1.5 mi out for 33 ft of water. Right off the beach it already drops to about 11 ft.

From the shoreline (0.55 mi from Jūrkalne) out to sea, heading northwest.

How far from shore

  • 16 ft deep0.5 mi
  • 33 ft deep1.5 mi
  • 66 ft deepnot within 3.1 mi
  • 164 ft deepnot within 3.1 mi

For fishing, swimming and diving

  • Shore fishing. About 11 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. Shallow near shore: you only reach 33 ft at 1.5 mi. For dives deeper than 33 ft, go by boat.
