↑ Rising The tide is rising. 3 h 45 min to high tide at 4:42 am.

In Stenungsön the astronomical tide is very small: about 0.8 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 September 6 (0.8 ft) and the lowest, on April 26 (-1.0 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
