Your day at a glance

The best window, 3:30 pm to 4:10 pm, combines a major period, sunset and some swell, though with rising pressure and moderate wind. Also worth a try from 1:40 am to 3:40 am, with a major period, a light onshore breeze and some swell, though with rising pressure.

Species with the most records nearby: Atlantic cod, whiting, European plaice and European flounder. October is one of the months when these are seen most: whiting and pollock. What you can catch

Tides

Tides in Rörö

Today's high and low tides

  • ▼ Low tide 11:25 am -0.2 ft
  • ▲ High tide 8:09 pm 0.5 ft

↑ Rising The tide is rising. 3 h 29 min to high tide at 4:23 am.

In Rörö the astronomical tide is very small: about 0.7 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 2 (0.8 ft) and the lowest, on April 26 (-0.9 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

Where this tide comes from

No significant tide

Tides from the Måvholmsbådan station (TICON-4), 7.8 mi from Rörö. Times and heights are its predictions.

How we calculate the tide

Sea and waves

The sea at Rörö

7-day waves

Sea stateSea state: slight

Slight Douglas 3 · fresh breeze, Beaufort 5
Waves 2.8 ft · 4.2 s from the west-southwest (239°)
Swell 1.2 ft · 6.0 s from the west
Current 1.0 mph toward the N

The waves you may find

  • Most commonMost common1.4 ft
  • Significant2.8 ft
  • Highest expectedHighest5.8 ft

One wave in seven is higher than the significant height, and about 3 times a day one reaches 5.8 ft. Before heading out, expect waves of up to 5.8 ft.

Wind on the coast and offshore

On the coast 14 mph SW · gusts 24
Offshore (4.8 mi WSW)Offshore 21 mph SW · gusts 32

Cross-onshore wind. The coast faces west and the wind comes in from the sea at an angle: a bit more surf at the shore and drift along the coast, toward land.

The best window is 7:00 am to 11:00 am, though with a short-period swell, wind swell and onshore wind.

An estimate for this stretch of coast, not for a specific break: every beach or reef works its own way (its tide, bottom and angle). Check it when you get there.

Follow the flags and the lifeguards, and don’t paddle out if the surf is above your level: this score is a guide, not a substitute for what you see when you get there.

Your diving day at a glance

The best window, 9:00 am to 12:00 pm, combines weak current and the sun high, though with moderate wind.

In Rörö the tide barely moves the water, so there's no slack to wait for: swell, wind and current are what count.

Solunar periods

Today's activity: high
  • 1:37–3:37 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity
  • 2:09–4:09 pm Major · the moon passes underfoot · high activity
  • 12:17–1:17 pm Minor · moonset · medium activity
  • 5:01–6:01 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 800 ft from shore.

From the shoreline (0.75 mi from Rörö) out to sea, heading west.

How far from shore

  • 16 ft deep450 ft
  • 33 ft deep800 ft
  • 66 ft deep0.45 mi
  • 164 ft deepnot within 3.1 mi

For fishing, swimming and diving

  • Shore fishing. Deep water close in: about 11 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 800 ft and 66 ft at 0.45 mi from shore.

Right by the shore the bottom may drop even faster than shown.
