Tides in Klintehamn

Today's high and low tides

  • ▲ High tide 6:07 am 0.1 ft
  • ▼ Low tide 10:32 pm -0.1 ft

↑ Rising The tide is rising. 8 h 15 min to high tide at 7:05 am.

In Klintehamn 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 January 17 (0.5 ft) and the lowest, on April 30 (-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

Tides from the Simpevarp station (TICON-4), 57 mi from Klintehamn. Times and heights are its predictions.

How we calculate the tide

Sea and waves

The sea at Klintehamn

7-day waves

Sea stateSea state: smooth

Smooth Douglas 2 · light breeze, Beaufort 2
Waves 1.2 ft · 4.6 s from the south-southwest (199°)
Swell 1.2 ft · 3.9 s from the south-southwest
Current 0.2 mph toward the SSE

The waves you may find

  • Most commonMost common0.6 ft
  • Significant1.2 ft
  • Highest expectedHighest2.6 ft

One wave in seven is higher than the significant height, and about 3 times a day one reaches 2.6 ft. Before heading out, expect waves of up to 2.6 ft.

Wind on the coast and offshore

On the coast 2 mph W · gusts 3
Offshore (11 mi NW)Offshore 6 mph WNW · gusts 7

Onshore wind. The coast faces west and the wind blows straight in from the sea: more surf and backwash at the shore, and bait and boats drift toward land.

Today’s surf at a glance

The best window, 6:09 am to 10:00 am, has a good size, though with a short-period swell. 2:00 pm to 4:52 pm can also work, with glassy water, though with a short-period swell.

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, 8:30 am to 11:30 am, combines light wind, weak current and the sun high.

In Klintehamn 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
  • 12:06–2:06 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity
  • 12:37–2:37 pm Major · the moon passes underfoot · high activity
  • 10:18–11:18 am Minor · moonset · medium activity
  • 3:50–4:50 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: you need to go 1.2 mi out for 33 ft of water. Right off the beach it already drops to about 18 ft.

From the shoreline (0.9 mi from Klintehamn) out to sea, heading west.

How far from shore

  • 16 ft deep290 ft
  • 33 ft deep1.2 mi
  • 66 ft deep2.8 mi
  • 164 ft deepnot within 3.1 mi

For fishing, swimming and diving

  • Shore fishing. Deep water close in: about 18 ft just 330 ft out. Good for casting from rocks, jetties or the beach itself; current and surf hit harder here.
  • Swimming. The bottom drops quickly near the shore and you are soon out of your depth. Keep an eye on kids and weak swimmers.
  • Diving. Shallow near shore: you only reach 33 ft at 1.2 mi. For dives deeper than 33 ft, go by boat.

Right by the shore the bottom may drop even faster than shown.
