Your diving day at a glance
The best window, 9:10 am to 10:00 am, combines slack water at low tide, light wind, weak current and the sun high. Also worth a look from 2:10 pm to 4:40 pm, with slack water at high tide, light wind and weak current, though with waves.
Slack water comes from the tide: in inlets, channels and between islands the water can keep running for an hour or two after. Ask the local dive shop.
Never dive alone and check with the local dive shop: this rating is a guide, not a substitute for a professional.

Moon phase and position
Today the moon is 226,461 mi away and looks 32′ 47″ across.
Solunar periods
Today's activity: high- 12:46–2:46 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity
- 1:17–3:17 pm Major · the moon passes underfoot · high activity
- 10:36–11:36 am Minor · moonset · medium activity
- 4:52–5:52 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
Shallow, gradualShallow, gradual bottom: 16 ft at 150 ft from shore and 0 ft at 2.9 mi. Right off the beach it already drops to about 27 ft.
From the shoreline (0.3 mi from Havneby) out to sea, heading east.
How far from shore
- 16 ft deep150 ft
- 33 ft deepnot within 2.9 mi
- 66 ft deepnot within 2.9 mi
- 164 ft deepnot within 2.9 mi
For fishing, swimming and diving
- Shore fishing. Deep water close in: about 27 ft just 330 ft out. Good for casting from rocks, jetties or the beach itself; current and surf hit harder here.
- Swimming. The bottom drops quickly near the shore and you are soon out of your depth. Keep an eye on kids and weak swimmers.
- Diving. Shallow: the water doesn't reach 33 ft within 2.9 mi. For deeper dives, take a boat farther out.
Inside bays, estuaries and harbors the bottom changes a lot from spot to spot (channels and shoals): use this only as a rough guide. There is land ahead (an island, a headland or the far shore) 2.9 mi out. Right by the shore the bottom may drop even faster than shown. Where the bottom comes up to the surface there are shoals, rocks or an islet next to the profile.
