Tides in Docksta
Today's high and low tides
- ▲ Next high tide 12:57 pm 0.0 ft
- ▼ Low tide 9:24 pm -0.1 ft
↑ Rising The tide is rising. 8 h 10 min to high tide at 12:57 pm.
In Docksta 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

Moon phase and position
Today the moon is 226,618 mi away and looks 32′ 45″ across.
Solunar periods
Today's activity: high- 1:09–3:09 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity
- 1:41–3:41 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
Gentle slopeThe bottom slopes gently: 16 ft deep 100 ft from shore and 33 ft at 0.55 mi. Right off the beach it already drops to about 29 ft.
From the shoreline out to sea, heading southeast.
How far from shore
- 16 ft deep100 ft
- 33 ft deep0.55 mi
- 66 ft deep0.85 mi
- 164 ft deepnot within 2 mi
For fishing, swimming and diving
- Shore fishing. Deep water close in: about 29 ft just 330 ft out. Good for casting from rocks, jetties or the beach itself; current and surf hit harder here.
- Swimming. The bottom drops quickly near the shore and you are soon out of your depth. Keep an eye on kids and weak swimmers.
- Diving. Shore diving works here: 33 ft at 0.55 mi and 66 ft at 0.85 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) 2 mi out. Right by the shore the bottom may drop even faster than shown.
