Tides in Fårösund
Today's high and low tides
- ▼ Low tide 12:14 am 0.1 ft
- ▲ High tide 8:15 am 0.2 ft
↓ Falling The tide is falling. 15 h 0 min to low tide at 12:59 am.
In Fårösund the astronomical tide is very small: about 0.1 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 (0.3 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 sea at Fårösund
Sea stateSea state: smooth
The waves you may find
- Most commonMost common0.3 ft
- Significant0.6 ft
- Highest expectedHighest1.2 ft
One wave in seven is higher than the significant height, and about 3 times a day one reaches 1.2 ft. Before heading out, expect waves of up to 1.2 ft.
Wind on the coast and offshore
The model doesn't separate offshore wind here: it's the same as on the coast.
Cross-shore wind. The coast faces southeast and the wind blows along the shore: drift and current run parallel to the beach.
Wave height, next 7 daysWaves, next 7 days
Waves build over the next few days. The biggest waves arrive on Wednesday 4: 5.3 ft with a period of 6 s, from the north (moderate).
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 49.7 °F by Wednesday 4.
Water warmer than normal for late October (+3.0 °F).

The moon in Fårösund
Moon phase and position
Today the moon is 226,618 mi away and looks 32′ 45″ across.
Solunar periods
Today's activity: high- 1:06–3:06 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity
- 1:38–3:38 pm Major · the moon passes underfoot · high activity
- 11:47 am–12:47 pm Minor · moonset · medium activity
- 4:28–5:28 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 0.3 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 near shore: you only reach 33 ft at 2.1 mi. For dives deeper than 33 ft, go by boat.
