Tides in Chełm

Today's high and low tides

  • ▲ High tide 1:51 am 0.2 ft
  • ▼ Low tide 7:49 am 0.1 ft
  • ▲ High tide 2:51 pm 0.3 ft
  • ▼ Low tide 9:11 pm 0.1 ft

↑ Rising The tide is rising. 2 h 43 min to high tide at 2:32 am.

In Chełm 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

Where this tide comes from

No significant tide

Tides from the Władysławowo station (TICON-4), 33 mi from Chełm. Times and heights are its predictions.

How we calculate the tide

Sea and waves

The sea at Chełm

7-day waves

Sea stateSea state: calm (rippled)

Calm (rippled) Douglas 1 · gentle breeze, Beaufort 3
Waves 0.1 ft · 2.0 s from the south (190°)
Swell 0.1 ft · 1.4 s from the southwest
Current 0.0 mph toward the ENE

The waves you may find

  • Most commonMost common0.1 ft
  • Significant0.1 ft
  • Highest expectedHighest0.3 ft

One wave in seven is higher than the significant height, and about 3 times a day one reaches 0.3 ft. Before heading out, expect waves of up to 0.3 ft.

Wind on the coast and offshore

On the coast 2 mph SW · gusts 7
Offshore (12 mi NNE)Offshore 8 mph W · gusts 12

Offshore wind. The coast faces northeast and the wind blows from land out to sea: calm shore and clean waves, but watch the drift out to sea.

Wave height, next 7 daysWaves, next 7 days

Waves build over the next few days. The biggest waves arrive on Tuesday 3: 4.2 ft with a period of 5 s, from the north-northeast (moderate).

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 53.1 °F by Tuesday 3.

Water warmer than normal for late October (+3.0 °F).

Your diving day at a glance

The best window, 8:30 am to 11:30 am, combines little swell, light wind, weak current and the sun high.

In Chełm 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
  • 12:04–2:04 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity
  • 12:35–2:35 pm Major · the moon passes underfoot · high activity
  • 9:47–10:47 am Minor · moonset · medium activity
  • 4:17–5:17 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.
