Cuxhaven tide times

The hero block shows the next high tide at Cuxhaven in Berlin local time, height above MSL. The 7-day table breaks out all four daily extremes. High water at Cuxhaven leads Hamburg by about three hours and lags Helgoland by close to an hour, so the timing here is the southern-Bight reference for the lower Elbe.

Mean range at Cuxhaven is about 2.8 metres — bigger than at Helgoland because the southern Bight geometry funnels and amplifies the open-North-Sea swing. Spring tides push past 3.4 metres, neaps compress to about 2.2. Easterly storm surge during winter low-pressure systems can lift levels another metre or more above predicted.

Open-Meteo Marine, a global ocean-model grid. Gridded model output, useful for planning a wattwanderung or a beach day, but not navigation-grade. For authoritative German tide data including Pegel Cuxhaven, see Bundesamt für Seeschifffahrt und Hydrographie (BSH).

The Sahlenburger Watt and the path out to Neuwerk are walkable around low water on most days, but the safe window is short — typically two to three hours either side of the predicted low. Guided wattwanderung is the only safe way for visitors. The 7-day table flags each day's predicted low; pair with sunrise from the sun/moon block. Check the local nationalpark service for guided-tour timing.

No. For piloting in the lower Elbe and the southern German Bight use BSH's authoritative tide tables and chart products plus the latest navigational warnings. Open-Meteo's gridded predictions are useful general planning data, not a navigational source.
