Tides in Brusand
Today's high and low tides
- ▼ Low tide 6:03 am 1.5 ft
- ▲ Next high tide 12:12 pm 2.0 ft
- ▼ Low tide 6:21 pm 1.5 ft
↑ Rising The tide is rising. 3 h 16 min to high tide at 12:12 pm.
In Brusand 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 November 10 (2.1 ft) and the lowest, on April 17 (0.7 ft).
Heights above chart datum (CD), the zero of that port's nautical charts. 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 (CD)

The sea at Brusand
Sea stateSea state: moderate
The waves you may find
- Most commonMost common3.2 ft
- Significant6.4 ft
- Highest expectedHighest13 ft
One wave in seven is higher than the significant height, and about 3 times a day one reaches 13 ft. Before heading out, expect waves of up to 13 ft.
Wind on the coast and offshore
Cross-onshore wind. The coast faces southwest and the wind comes in from the sea at an angle: a bit more surf at the shore and drift along the coast, toward land.
Wave height, next 7 daysWaves, next 7 days
Waves ease over the next few days. The biggest waves arrive on Thursday 29: 8.0 ft with a period of 8 s, from the west-southwest (moderate).
Water temperature
Water temperature →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 (+2.7 °F).

Surf in Brusand today
Surf today
Good- 2.9–4.4 ft surf at the shore, a good size with some punch
- 4.8 ft swell at 8 s from the west-northwest, a bit short
- Light cross-shore wind (11 mph): a bit of chop
- Light: First light 7:04 am · sunrise 7:46 am · sunset 4:55 pm · last light 5:37 pm
- Tide: We don’t have a reliable tide to show here.
- Water at 54.3 °F: a 5/4 fullsuit with booties (and a hood if it’s windy).
- Energy: 270 kJ · Medium power
Today’s surf at a glance
The best window, 4:00 pm to 5:37 pm, has a good size. 7:04 am to 10:00 am also works, with a good size. 11:00 am to 12:00 pm also works, with a good size.
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.
Diving in Brusand today
Diving and snorkeling today
Likely visibility: poor- 4.9 ft swell at 8 s from the west-northwest: strong surge on the bottom
- Light onshore wind (11 mph)
- 0.4 mph current toward the northwest, weak (model)
- Sun high: more light underwater
- Slack water today: none; the tide doesn't count here
- Likely visibility: poor. Swell (up to 9.6 ft at 8 s) and rain (0.35 in) over the last few days have stirred up the water. Based on the last 24 hours of data.
- Water at 54.3 °F: a 7 mm semi-dry suit, with hood, gloves and booties.
- Snorkeling: better not, with these waves, wind or current.
- Night dive: dark from 5:37 pm. Waning gibbous (85%), rising at 5:44 pm: a bright night.
Your diving day at a glance
The best window, 10:30 am to 1:30 pm, combines light wind, weak current and the sun high, though with some swell. Also worth a look from 3:30 pm to 4:30 pm, with light wind and weak current, though with some swell.
In Brusand 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.

Moon phase and position
Today the moon is 226,618 mi away and looks 32′ 45″ across.
Solunar periods
Today's activity: high- 2:01–4:01 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity
- 2:34–4:34 pm Major · the moon passes underfoot · high activity
- 12:53–1:53 pm Minor · moonset · medium activity
- 5:14–6:14 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 0.4 mi from shore and 33 ft at 0.85 mi. It reaches 164 ft at 3.1 mi.

- 66 ft deep2.4 mi
- 164 ft deep3.1 mi
For fishing, swimming and diving
- Shore fishing. Shallow, gradual bottom (16 ft at 0.4 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 near shore: you only reach 33 ft at 0.85 mi. For dives deeper than 33 ft, go by boat.
