Where this tide comes from
Tides from the Fosdyke Bridge station (Environment Agency), 0.6 mi from Fosdyke. Times and heights are its predictions.

The sea at Fosdyke
Sea stateSea state: smooth
The waves you may find
- Most commonMost common0.3 ft
- Significant0.7 ft
- Highest expectedHighest1.4 ft
One wave in seven is higher than the significant height, and about 3 times a day one reaches 1.4 ft. Before heading out, expect waves of up to 1.4 ft.
Wind on the coast and offshore
Cross-offshore wind. The coast faces southeast and the wind comes off the land at an angle: calmer water near the shore, and bait and boats drift out to sea.
Wave height, next 7 daysWaves, next 7 days
Waves build over the next few days. The biggest waves arrive on Sunday 1: 3.4 ft with a period of 4 s, from the north-northeast (slight).
Water temperature

Moon phase and position
Today the moon is 226,641 mi away and looks 32′ 45″ across.
Solunar periods
Today's activity: medium- 1:25–3:25 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity
- 1:58–3:58 pm Major · the moon passes underfoot · high activity
- 11:14 am–12:14 pm Minor · moonset · medium activity
- 5:41–6:41 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.
