Tides in Härnösand
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. 14 h 3 min to high tide at 12:57 pm.
In Härnösand 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

The sea at Härnösand
Sea stateSea state: slight
The waves you may find
- Most commonMost common1.4 ft
- Significant2.9 ft
- Highest expectedHighest6.0 ft
One wave in seven is higher than the significant height, and about 3 times a day one reaches 6.0 ft. Before heading out, expect waves of up to 6.0 ft.
Wind on the coast and offshore
Cross-offshore wind. The coast faces east and the wind comes off the land at an angle: calmer water near the shore, and bait and boats drift out to sea.
Wave height, next 7 daysWaves, next 7 days
Waves ease over the next few days. The biggest waves arrive on Wednesday 28: 7.2 ft with a period of 6 s, from the south (moderate).
Water temperature
Water temperature →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.

The moon in Härnösand
Moon phase and position
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
- 12:38–2:38 pm Major · the moon passes underfoot · high activity
- 11:50 am–12:50 pm Minor · moonset · medium activity
- 2:19–3:19 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 0.4 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 0.4 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) 0.4 mi out. The profile is turned slightly from the coast so it does not run into an island or a headland. Where the bottom comes up to the surface there are shoals, rocks or an islet next to the profile.
