Tides

Tides in Abbekås

Today's high and low tides

  • ▲ High tide 9:23 am 0.3 ft

↓ Falling The tide is falling. 4 min to low tide at 12:30 am.

In Abbekås the astronomical tide is very small: about 0.3 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 August 26 (0.4 ft) and the lowest, on May 3 (-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

Sea and waves

The sea at Abbekås

7-day waves

Sea stateSea state: smooth

Smooth Douglas 2 · moderate breeze, Beaufort 4
Waves 0.8 ft · 2.8 s from the southwest (225°)

The waves you may find

  • Most commonMost common0.4 ft

  • Highest expectedHighest1.8 ft

One wave in seven is higher than the significant height, and about 3 times a day one reaches 1.8 ft. Before heading out, expect waves of up to 1.8 ft.

Wind on the coast and offshore

Cross-shore wind. The coast faces south and the wind blows along the shore: drift and current run parallel to the beach.

The best window, 8:50 am to 11:50 am, combines little swell, light wind, weak current and the sun high.

In Abbekås 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
  • 1:28–3:28 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity
  • 2:01–4:01 pm Major · the moon passes underfoot · high activity
  • 11:40 am–12:40 pm Minor · moonset · medium activity
  • 5:21–6:21 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

Gentle slope

The bottom slopes gently: 16 ft deep 0.35 mi from shore and 33 ft at 0.7 mi.

From the shoreline (0.45 mi from Abbekås) out to sea, heading south.

How far from shore

  • 16 ft deep0.35 mi
  • 33 ft deep0.7 mi
  • 66 ft deep1.7 mi
  • 164 ft deepnot within 3.1 mi

For fishing, swimming and diving

  • Shore fishing. Shallow, gradual bottom (16 ft at 0.35 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 0.7 mi. For dives deeper than 33 ft, go by boat.
