Tides in Uddevalla
Today's high and low tides
- ▲ Next high tide 7:26 am 0.0 ft
↑ Rising The tide is rising. 5 h 31 min to high tide at 7:26 am.
In Uddevalla the astronomical tide is very small: about 0.2 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 (0.5 ft) and the lowest, on April 27 (-0.5 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 Uddevalla
Sea state
The wave model doesn't reach Uddevalla: 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-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.
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 50.5 °F by Wednesday 4.
Water warmer than normal for late October (+2.5 °F).

Moon phase and position
Today the moon is 226,618 mi away and looks 32′ 45″ across.
Solunar periods
Today's activity: high- 1:35–3:35 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity
- 2:08–4:08 pm Major · the moon passes underfoot · high activity
- 12:24–1:24 pm Minor · moonset · medium activity
- 4:51–5:51 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
Drops off fastThe bottom drops off fast: the water is 33 ft deep just 140 ft from shore.
From the shoreline (1.7 mi from Uddevalla) out to sea, heading west.
How far from shore
- 16 ft deep70 ft
- 33 ft deep140 ft
- 66 ft deepnot within 0.45 mi
- 164 ft deepnot within 0.45 mi
For fishing, swimming and diving
- Shore fishing. Deep water close in: about 60 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. 33 ft deep 140 ft from shore; 66 ft is far out (beyond 0.45 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) 0.45 mi out. Right by the shore the bottom may drop even faster than shown. Where the bottom comes up to the surface there are shoals, rocks or an islet next to the profile.
