Tides in Jämtön

Today's high and low tides

  • ▲ High tide 9:26 pm 0.3 ft

↓ Falling The tide is falling. 9 h 39 min to low tide at 10:03 am.

In Jämtön 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 13 (0.6 ft) and the lowest, on May 2 (-0.7 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 Kalix Storön station (TICON-4), 20 mi from Jämtön. Times and heights are its predictions.

How we calculate the tide

Sea and waves

The sea at Jämtön

7-day waves

Sea stateSea state: smooth

Smooth Douglas 2 · gentle breeze, Beaufort 3
Waves 1.2 ft · 3.1 s from the south-southwest (198°)
Swell 0.5 ft · 4.7 s from the south
Current 0.1 mph toward the S

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 5 mph S · gusts 9
Offshore (6.9 mi S)Offshore 10 mph SSW · gusts 13

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.

Cross-onshore Hourly wind →

Wave height, next 7 daysWaves, next 7 days

Waves stay much the same all week. The biggest waves arrive on Thursday 29: 1.4 ft with a period of 3 s, from the south-southwest (smooth).

Water temperature

Water now43.0 °F
Today 42.8–43.0 °F air: 41 / 44 °F
Satellite (2 days ago) 46.2 °F measured 1.3 mi away

The satellite measured 3.2 °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 cools over the next few days: about 40.3 °F by Wednesday 4.

Water about normal for late October.

Your diving day at a glance

The best window, 8:10 am to 11:10 am, combines little swell, light wind, weak current and the sun high.

In Jämtön the tide barely moves the water, so there's no slack to wait for: swell, wind and current are what count.

Solunar periods

Today's activity: high
  • 12:51–2:51 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity
  • 1:24–3:24 pm Major · the moon passes underfoot · high 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 600 ft from shore and 8.2 ft at 3.1 mi. Right off the beach it already drops to about 12 ft.

From the shoreline (1.2 mi from Jämtön) out to sea, heading southwest.

How far from shore

  • 16 ft deep600 ft
  • 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. About 12 ft of water 330 ft out: long casts help, and so does a rising tide, which brings fish closer in.
  • 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: the water doesn't reach 33 ft within 3.1 mi. For deeper dives, take a boat farther out.

Inside bays, estuaries and harbors the bottom changes a lot from spot to spot (channels and shoals): use this only as a rough guide.
