Tides in Kramfors

Today's high and low tides

  • ▼ Low tide 9:24 pm -0.1 ft

↑ Rising The tide is rising. 6 h 25 min to high tide at 12:57 pm.

In Kramfors 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

Sea and waves

The sea at Kramfors

Hourly wind

Sea state

The wave model doesn't reach Kramfors: it's on inland water (an estuary, sound or sheltered bay) or far from the open sea. Wind is still available right here.

Wind on the coast and offshore

On the coast 2 mph SSE · gusts 4

The model doesn't separate offshore wind here: it's the same as on the coast.

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

Steady now (+0.00 inHg in 3 hours). Over the next 48 hours: +0.50 inHg. Steady pressure: anglers expect normal activity. Fast changes, either way, tend to affect fishing.

Solunar periods

Today's activity: high
  • 1:11–3:11 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity
  • 1:43–3:43 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

Drops off fast

The bottom drops off fast: the water is 33 ft deep just 280 ft from shore. It reaches 164 ft at 950 ft.

From the shoreline (1.1 mi from Kramfors) out to sea, heading north.

How far from shore

  • 16 ft deep210 ft
  • 33 ft deep280 ft
  • 66 ft deep400 ft
  • 164 ft deep950 ft

For fishing, swimming and diving

  • Shore fishing. Deep water close in: about 44 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 280 ft and 66 ft at 400 ft 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) 2.3 mi out. The profile is turned slightly from the coast so it does not run into an island or a headland. Right by the shore the bottom may drop even faster than shown.
