Tides in Sjösa
Today's high and low tides
- ▲ High tide 6:34 am 0.1 ft
- ▼ Low tide 1:53 pm 0.0 ft
- ▲ High tide 6:00 pm 0.0 ft
- ▼ Next low tide 11:58 pm -0.1 ft
↓ Falling The tide is falling. 5 min to low tide at 11:58 pm.
In Sjösa 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 20 (0.3 ft) and the lowest, on May 17 (-0.4 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 Sjösa
Sea stateSea state: smooth
The waves you may find
- Most commonMost common0.5 ft
- Significant1.0 ft
- Highest expectedHighest2.1 ft
One wave in seven is higher than the significant height, and about 3 times a day one reaches 2.1 ft. Before heading out, expect waves of up to 2.1 ft.
Wind on the coast and offshore
Cross-onshore wind. The coast faces south 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.
Wave height, next 7 daysWaves, next 7 days
Waves ease over the next few days. The biggest waves arrive on Wednesday 28: 3.5 ft with a period of 5 s, from the south (slight).
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 47.0 °F by Tuesday 3.
Water warmer than normal for late October (+1.0 °F).

The moon in Sjösa
Moon phase and position
Today the moon is 226,461 mi away and looks 32′ 47″ across.
Solunar periods
Today's activity: high- 12:11–2:11 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity
- 12:42–2:42 pm Major · the moon passes underfoot · high activity
- 10:39–11:39 am Minor · moonset · medium activity
- 3:37–4:37 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. Very shallow: the water doesn't reach 16 ft within 2.6 mi. Cast far from the beach, ideally around high tide.
- 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: the water doesn't reach 33 ft within 2.6 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. There is land ahead (an island, a headland or the far shore) 2.6 mi out. The profile is turned slightly from the coast so it does not run into an island or a headland.
