Mixed: two high and two low tides a day, but of quite different heights.
Heights above chart datum: the lowest astronomical tide (LAT), the zero of nautical charts in Europe. Astronomical prediction: wind and air pressure can raise or lower the water by a few inches, and more in a storm. Not for navigation. chart datum (LAT)

Where this tide comes from
Tides from the Klaksvík station (DMI), 0.6 mi from Klaksvík. Times and heights are its predictions.

The sea at Klaksvík
Sea stateSea state: slight
The waves you may find
- Most commonMost common1.8 ft
- Significant3.6 ft
- Highest expectedHighest7.3 ft
One wave in seven is higher than the significant height, and about 3 times a day one reaches 7.3 ft. Before heading out, expect waves of up to 7.3 ft.
Wind on the coast and offshore
Cross-offshore wind. The coast faces southeast and the wind comes off the land at an angle: calmer water near the shore, and bait and boats drift out to sea.
Wave height, next 7 daysWaves, next 7 days
Waves stay much the same all week. The biggest waves arrive on Wednesday 28: 4.6 ft with a period of 7 s, from the west-southwest (moderate).
Water temperature
Water temperature →Water temperature changes how fish behave: in very cold or very warm water they feed less. The water is steady these days, with no sudden changes.
Water warmer than normal for late October (+1.6 °F).

Diving in Klaksvík today
Diving and snorkeling today
Likely visibility: poor- 2.9 ft swell at 8 s from the west-northwest: some surge on the bottom
- Fresh offshore wind (23 mph): it pushes surface swimmers away from shore
- 0.2 mph current toward the east-southeast, weak (model)
- Daylight
- Slack water today: low tide 5:13 am (4:40–5:30 am), high tide 10:02 am (9:40–10:50 am), low tide 5:15 pm (4:30–5:40 pm) and high tide 10:47 pm (10:10–11:40 pm)
- Likely visibility: poor. Swell (up to 3.5 ft at 8 s), rain (1.21 in) and wind over the last few days have stirred up the water. Based on the last 24 hours of data.
- Water at 49.6 °F: a drysuit, with hood, gloves and booties.
- Snorkeling: better not, with these waves, wind or current.
- Night dive: dark from 5:20 pm. Waning gibbous (92%), rising at 3:39 pm: a bright night.
Your diving day at a glance
The best window, 3:40 pm to 4:30 pm, lines up with weak current, though with some swell and fresh wind. Also worth a look from 9:30 am to 10:50 am, with slack water at high tide, weak current and the sun high, though with some swell and strong wind.
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.

The moon in Klaksvík
Moon phase and position
Today the moon is 226,451 mi away and looks 32′ 47″ across.
Solunar periods
Today's activity: high- 12:49–2:49 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity
- 1:21–3:21 pm Major · the moon passes underfoot · high activity
- 12:25–1:25 pm Minor · moonset · medium activity
- 3:09–4:09 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.
