Tides in Lidingö

Today's high and low tides

  • ▲ High tide 8:54 am 0.0 ft
  • ▼ Low tide 3:35 pm -0.1 ft
  • ▲ High tide 8:33 pm -0.1 ft

↓ Falling The tide is falling. 39 min to low tide at 1:16 am.

In Lidingö 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 6 (0.7 ft) and the lowest, on April 18 (-0.8 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 Stockholm Frihamnen station (TICON-4), 1.4 mi from Lidingö. Times and heights are its predictions.

Sea and waves

The waves you may find

One wave in seven is higher than the significant height, and about 3 times a day one reaches 2.3 ft. Before heading out, expect waves of up to 2.3 ft.

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

Your diving day at a glance

The best window, 8:30 am to 11:30 am, combines small waves, light wind, weak current and the sun high.

In Lidingö 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
  • 1:09–3:09 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity
  • 1:42–3:42 pm Major · the moon passes underfoot · high activity
  • 12:14–1:14 pm Minor · moonset · medium activity
  • 4:08–5:08 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 650 ft from shore and 33 ft at 0.4 mi.

From the shoreline (0.95 mi from Lidingö) out to sea, heading northwest.

How far from shore

  • 16 ft deep650 ft
  • 33 ft deep0.4 mi
  • 66 ft deep0.45 mi
  • 164 ft deepnot within 1.1 mi

For fishing, swimming and diving

  • Shore fishing. Shallow, gradual bottom (16 ft at 650 ft): 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. Shore diving works here: 33 ft at 0.4 mi and 66 ft at 0.45 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. There is land ahead (an island, a headland or the far shore) 1.1 mi out. Where the bottom comes up to the surface there are shoals, rocks or an islet next to the profile.
