Tide coefficient 75 for the 4:28 am high tide and 74 for the 4:48 pm high tide. Average coefficient. The water rises and falls 8.0 ft between the highest high and the lowest low: a large range for this place. 70 is an average tide here; 90 and above means spring tides; below 45, neap tides.

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

How we calculate the tide

Sea and waves

The sea at Havenhoofd

7-day waves

Sea stateSea state: slight

Slight Douglas 3 · light breeze, Beaufort 2
Waves 1.7 ft · 3.9 s from the west (270°)
Swell 1.6 ft · 3.4 s from the west
Current 0.4 mph toward the SSW

The waves you may find

  • Most commonMost common0.9 ft
  • Significant1.7 ft
  • Highest expectedHighest3.6 ft

One wave in seven is higher than the significant height, and about 3 times a day one reaches 3.6 ft. Before heading out, expect waves of up to 3.6 ft.

Wind on the coast and offshore

On the coast 8 mph SW · gusts 13
Offshore (5.6 mi S)Offshore 7 mph SSW · gusts 11

Cross-shore wind. The coast faces northwest and the wind blows along the shore: drift and current run parallel to the beach.

Cross-shore Hourly wind →

Wave height, next 7 daysWaves, next 7 days

Waves build over the next few days. The biggest waves arrive on Monday 2: 3.0 ft with a period of 5 s, from the north (slight).

Water temperature

Water now55.6 °F
Today 55.4–55.6 °F air: 51 / 58 °F
Satellite (2 days ago) 58.3 °F measured 0.7 mi away

The satellite measured 2.7 °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 colder than normal for late October (−1.0 °F).

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, 11:30 am to 1:50 pm, combines little swell, light wind, weak current and the sun high.

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: medium
  • 2:08–4:08 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity
  • 2:41–4:41 pm Major · the moon passes underfoot · high activity
  • 11:49 am–12:49 pm Minor · moonset · medium activity
  • 6:33–7:33 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: 16 ft at 0.3 mi from shore and 13 ft at 3.1 mi.

From the shoreline (1.4 mi from Havenhoofd) out to sea, heading northwest.

How far from shore

  • 16 ft deep0.3 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. Shallow, gradual bottom (16 ft at 0.3 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.
