The water level in Egmond aan Zee is determined by the astronomical tides. This is caused by the gravitational pull of the moon and the sun on the Earth. The moon has the greatest influence on the tides. The times of high and low tide vary by location. In Egmond aan Zee, high tide occurs approximately twice a day. The times shift from the southwest to the northeast of the Netherlands in about 12 hours.
Water levels can also be influenced by other factors, such as wind, precipitation, and river discharge. In Egmond aan Zee, the water level is currently higher than normal for this time of year. This is due to the high discharge of the Rhine and IJssel rivers.
The water level in Egmond aan Zee is important for the safety of residents and infrastructure. Rijkswaterstaat (the Directorate-General for Public Works and Water Management) closely monitors the water level and issues warnings of potential flooding in the event of high water.
