About tides at Cuxhaven
Cuxhaven sits at the corner where the Elbe meets the open North Sea, the southern edge of the German Bight and the eastern end of the Wadden coast. The tide here is one of the bigger ones on the German shore — mean range about 2.8 metres, climbing past 3.4 on spring tides. The pattern is semidiurnal, two highs and two lows about twelve and a half hours apart, and the flood reaches Cuxhaven from Helgoland and the open Bight before pushing on up the Elbe toward Brunsbüttel and Hamburg. That makes the timing distinctive: high water at Cuxhaven leads Hamburg by about three hours, depending on river discharge. The Wadden mudflats north of town — the Sahlenburger Watt and the long flat out toward Neuwerk — open up completely on each ebb and refill on each flood, and the guided wattwanderung walks across to Neuwerk run on the bottom of the cycle. Predictions on this page come from Open-Meteo Marine, gridded ocean-model output. Useful for planning but not navigation-grade — for the authoritative German tide data, the BSH Pegel Cuxhaven is the reference gauge.
