↑ Rising The tide is rising. 3 h 43 min to high tide at 3:32 am.

In Juodkrantė the astronomical tide is very small: about 0.2 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 (0.4 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

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

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