Tides in Seittenkaari

Today's high and low tides

  • ▲ High tide 9:04 pm 0.3 ft

↓ Falling The tide is falling. 1 h 7 min to low tide at 9:24 am.

In Seittenkaari 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 12 (0.5 ft) and the lowest, on April 25 (-0.6 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

No significant tide

Tides from the Kalix Karlsborg station (TICON-4), 13 mi from Seittenkaari. Times and heights are its predictions.

How we calculate the tide

Sea and waves

The sea at Seittenkaari

7-day waves

Sea stateSea state: slight

Slight Douglas 3 · moderate breeze, Beaufort 4
Waves 3.2 ft · 4.6 s from the south-southwest (201°)
Swell 0.7 ft · 5.5 s from the south
Current 0.4 mph toward the WSW

The waves you may find

  • Most commonMost common1.6 ft
  • Significant3.2 ft
  • Highest expectedHighest6.7 ft

One wave in seven is higher than the significant height, and about 3 times a day one reaches 6.7 ft. Before heading out, expect waves of up to 6.7 ft.

Wind on the coast and offshore

On the coast 12 mph SSW · gusts 24
Offshore (0.9 mi NNE)Offshore 16 mph SSW · gusts 21

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

Waves stay much the same all week. The biggest waves arrive on Thursday 29: 3.2 ft with a period of 5 s, from the south-southwest (slight).

Your diving day at a glance

The best window, 9:30 am to 12:30 pm, combines light wind, weak current and the sun high.

In Seittenkaari 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
  • 12:46–2:46 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity
  • 1:18–3:18 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

Deepens quickly

The bottom deepens quickly: 33 ft of water 900 ft from shore.

From the shoreline (2.5 mi from Seittenkaari) out to sea, heading southwest.

How far from shore

  • 16 ft deep600 ft
  • 33 ft deep900 ft
  • 66 ft deep0.35 mi
  • 164 ft deepnot within 3.1 mi

For fishing, swimming and diving

  • Shore fishing. 33 ft of water just 900 ft from shore: a good cast reaches deep water. Current and surf hit harder here.
  • Swimming. The water gets deeper little by little, but a few dozen yards out you can no longer stand.
  • Diving. Shore diving works here: 33 ft at 900 ft and 66 ft at 0.35 mi from shore.

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