Tides in Hvalpsund
Today's high and low tides
- ▲ High tide 12:12 am 0.2 ft
- ▼ Next low tide 6:30 am -0.1 ft
- ▲ High tide 12:17 pm 0.2 ft
- ▼ Low tide 6:48 pm -0.2 ft
↓ Falling The tide is falling. 1 h 17 min to low tide at 6:30 am.
In Hvalpsund the astronomical tide is very small: about 0.4 ft between high and low tide. Here the sea level is moved mostly by wind and air pressure (storm surge), which can raise or lower it more than the tide itself.
2026 extremes: the highest tide of the year is on December 28 (0.3 ft) and the lowest, on January 1 (-0.2 ft).
Heights above mean sea level. Astronomical prediction: wind and air pressure can raise or lower the water by a few inches, and more in a storm. Not for navigation. mean sea level

Moon phase and position
Today the moon is 226,618 mi away and looks 32′ 45″ across.
Solunar periods
Today's activity: high- 1:47–3:47 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity
- 2:19–4:19 pm Major · the moon passes underfoot · high activity
- 12:13–1:13 pm Minor · moonset · medium activity
- 5:25–6:25 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.

Water depth
Deepens quicklyThe bottom deepens quickly: 33 ft of water 1,000 ft from shore.
From the shoreline out to sea, heading northwest.

- 33 ft deep1,000 ft
- 66 ft deepnot within 3.1 mi
- 164 ft deepnot within 3.1 mi
For fishing, swimming and diving
- Shore fishing. 33 ft of water just 1,000 ft from shore: a good cast reaches deep water. Current and surf hit harder here.
- Swimming. The water gets deeper little by little, but a few dozen yards out you can no longer stand.
- Diving. 33 ft deep 1,000 ft from shore; 66 ft is far out (beyond 3.1 mi): for deeper dives, go by boat.
Inside bays, estuaries and harbors the bottom changes a lot from spot to spot (channels and shoals): use this only as a rough guide.
