Tides

Tides in Älandsbro

Today's high and low tides

  • ▲ High tide 12:29 pm 0.0 ft
  • ▼ Low tide 8:47 pm -0.2 ft

↑ Rising The tide is rising. 13 h 1 min to high tide at 12:57 pm.

In Älandsbro the astronomical tide is very small: about 0.1 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 18 (0.6 ft) and the lowest, on May 16 (-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

How we calculate the tide

Sea and waves

The sea at Älandsbro

7-day waves

Sea stateSea state: slight

Slight Douglas 3 · moderate breeze, Beaufort 4
Waves 3.0 ft · 4.3 s from the south (179°)
Wind waves — —
Current 0.4 mph toward the SSW

The waves you may find

  • Most commonMost common1.5 ft
  • Significant3.0 ft
  • Highest expectedHighest6.2 ft

One wave in seven is higher than the significant height, and about 3 times a day one reaches 6.2 ft. Before heading out, expect waves of up to 6.2 ft.

Wind on the coast and offshore

On the coast 3 mph SSW · gusts 7

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

Water temperature changes how fish behave: in very cold or very warm water they feed less. The water is steady these days, with no sudden changes.

Water warmer than normal for late October (+2.5 °F).

Your diving day at a glance

The best window, 12:50 pm to 3:50 pm, combines light wind, weak current and the sun high, though with waves.

In Älandsbro 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.

Today the moon is 226,461 mi away and looks 32′ 47″ across.

Solunar periods

Today's activity: high
  • 12:07–2:07 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity
  • 12:39–2:39 pm Major · the moon passes underfoot · high activity
  • 11:51 am–12:51 pm Minor · moonset · medium activity
  • 2:18–3:18 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

Deepens quickly

The bottom deepens quickly: 33 ft of water 1,100 ft from shore.

From the shoreline (1,300 ft from Älandsbro) out to sea, heading southeast.

How far from shore

  • 16 ft deep600 ft
  • 33 ft deep1,100 ft
  • 66 ft deep0.45 mi
  • 164 ft deepnot within 1.7 mi

For fishing, swimming and diving

  • Shore fishing. 33 ft of water just 1,100 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 1,100 ft 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) 1.7 mi out. Where the bottom comes up to the surface there are shoals, rocks or an islet next to the profile.
