Tides in Sundsvall
Today's high and low tides
- ▲ Next high tide 1:02 pm 0.2 ft
- ▼ Low tide 9:37 pm 0.1 ft
↑ Rising The tide is rising. 6 h 50 min to high tide at 1:02 pm.
In Sundsvall 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 August 24 (0.3 ft) and the lowest, on April 20 (-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 Sundsvall
Sea state
The wave model doesn't reach Sundsvall: 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
The model doesn't separate offshore wind here: it's the same as on the coast.
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.
Water temperature
Water temperature →Water temperature changes how fish behave: in very cold or very warm water they feed less. The water cools over the next few days: about 42.9 °F by Wednesday 4.
Water warmer than normal for late October (+1.9 °F).

Steady now (−0.01 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.

The moon in Sundsvall
Moon phase and position
Today the moon is 226,618 mi away and looks 32′ 45″ across.
Solunar periods
Today's activity: high- 1:13–3:13 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity
- 1:45–3:45 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 390 ft from shore and 33 ft at 0.45 mi. Right off the beach it already drops to about 13 ft.
From the shoreline (0.4 mi from Sundsvall) out to sea, heading east.
How far from shore
- 16 ft deep390 ft
- 33 ft deep0.45 mi
- 66 ft deep1.6 mi
- 164 ft deepnot within 2.8 mi
For fishing, swimming and diving
- Shore fishing. About 13 ft of water 330 ft out: long casts help, and so does a rising tide, which brings fish closer in.
- 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. 33 ft deep 0.45 mi from shore; 66 ft is far out (1.6 mi): for deeper dives, go by boat.
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) 2.8 mi out. Right by the shore the bottom may drop even faster than shown.
