Tide coefficient 74 for the 10:40 am high tide and 72 for the 10:47 pm high tide. Average coefficient. The water rises and falls 4.8 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 28 (7.4 ft) and the lowest, on March 22 (0.4 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)
Tide coefficient and range in October
The biggest tides of the month came from October 9 to 11 (coefficient 85, 6.2 ft range). The smallest, from October 20 to 21 (coefficient 51, 3.3 ft).

Where this tide comes from
Den Oever has no station of its own, so we use the tide at Oudeschild (TICON-4), 10 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.

The sea at Den Oever
Sea state
The wave model doesn't reach Den Oever: 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
Onshore wind. The coast faces northeast and the wind blows straight in from the sea: more surf and backwash at the shore, and bait and boats drift toward land.
Water temperature
Water temperature →Water temperature changes how fish behave: in very cold or very warm water they feed less. The water cools over the next few days: about 54.5 °F by Wednesday 4.
Water warmer than normal for late October (+1.5 °F).

Steady now (+0.01 inHg in 3 hours). Over the next 48 hours: +0.13 inHg. Steady pressure: anglers expect normal activity. Fast changes, either way, tend to affect fishing.

Moon phase and position
Today the moon is 226,618 mi away and looks 32′ 45″ across.
Solunar periods
Today's activity: medium- 2:04–4:04 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity
- 2:37–4:37 pm Major · the moon passes underfoot · high activity
- 11:53 am–12:53 pm Minor · moonset · medium activity
- 6:20–7:20 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.

For fishing, swimming and diving
- Shore fishing. Shallow, gradual bottom (16 ft at 0.5 mi): cast far from the beach and fish the high tide, when there is more water close in.
- 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. Where the bottom comes up to the surface there are shoals, rocks or an islet next to the profile.
