Ebeltoft tide times

Approximately 0.3 m mean range at Ebeltoft, slightly less than the open Kattegat coast due to the sheltering effect of Ebeltoft Vig. The bay's semi-enclosed geometry dampens the already-modest tidal signal further. In practice, wind-driven water level changes often exceed the tidal range — a sustained northeast wind can add 0.2–0.4 m on top of the predicted high water.

The frigate Jylland is the oldest preserved screw-propelled warship in the world. Launched in 1860, she is 71 m long and constructed of iron-reinforced wood. She is on permanent display in a dedicated dry dock at the Ebeltoft Færgehavn museum complex, right at the harbour. Admission is charged; the ship is accessible year-round, with seasonal variation in opening hours. The Kattegat tidal water lapping the dock outside is the same sea she served on during her active career.

Yes. The sheltered bay, gentle gradient, and 0.3 m tidal range make Ebeltoft beach accessible and safe for swimming at virtually any tide state. The foreshore is widest at low water but the difference is subtle. Main safety consideration is wind chop from the northeast, which can build surprisingly quickly even in the protected bay. Check DMI's coastal forecast for wind before entering the water.

Ebeltoft is served by the Mols-Linien high-speed ferry to Odden (Zealand), with crossings taking approximately 65–75 minutes depending on service type. Ferry schedules run multiple times daily. Tidal state has minimal impact on the crossing itself given the modest range, but wind over the Kattegat can affect departure timing and sea conditions — check the operator's live status alongside DMI's marine forecast for your travel day.

No prediction is guaranteed. Data on this page comes from Open-Meteo Marine modelling (typical accuracy ±45 minutes on timing, ±0.2–0.3 m on height) and is intended as planning guidance only. DMI (Danmarks Meteorologiske Institut) is the authoritative source for Danish coastal waters. Consult DMI's forecasts before any activity where tidal state affects safety.
