The water rises and falls 1.6 ft between the highest high and the lowest low: a large range for this place. 70 is an average tide here; 90 and above means spring tides; below 45, neap tides.

2026 extremes: the highest tide of the year is on December 26 (2.2 ft) and the lowest, on April 19 (0.1 ft).

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)

Sea and waves

The sea at Hvítanes

7-day waves

Moderate Douglas 4 · moderate breeze, Beaufort 4
Waves 4.5 ft · 7.7 s from the west-southwest (241°)

Current 0.8 mph toward the E

The waves you may find

  • Most commonMost common2.3 ft
  • Significant4.5 ft
  • Highest expectedHighest9.1 ft

One wave in seven is higher than the significant height, and about 3 times a day one reaches 9.1 ft. Before heading out, expect waves of up to 9.1 ft.

Wind on the coast and offshore

On the coast 10 mph WSW · gusts 23
Offshore (3.2 mi S)Offshore 16 mph WSW · gusts 23

Cross-offshore wind. The coast faces east and the wind comes off the land at an angle: calmer water near the shore, and bait and boats drift out to sea.

Water warmer than normal for late October (+1.1 °F).

Today’s surf at a glance

The best window, 7:02 am to 11:00 am, has light offshore wind, though with small waves and wind swell. 3:00 pm to 5:00 pm can also work, with light offshore wind, though with a short-period swell and wind swell.

An estimate for this stretch of coast, not for a specific break: every beach or reef works its own way (its tide, bottom and angle). Check it when you get there.

Follow the flags and the lifeguards, and don’t paddle out if the surf is above your level: this score is a guide, not a substitute for what you see when you get there.

Your diving day at a glance

The best window, 10:50 am to 12:20 pm, combines light wind, weak current and the sun high. Also worth a look from 3:00 pm to 3:50 pm, with slack water at low 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.

Solunar periods

Today's activity: high
  • 1:53–3:53 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity
  • 2:26–4:26 pm Major · the moon passes underfoot · high activity
  • 2:16–3:16 pm Minor · moonset · medium activity
  • 3:35–4:35 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 quickly

The bottom deepens quickly: 33 ft of water 1,000 ft from shore. It reaches 164 ft at 0.9 mi.

From the shoreline out to sea, heading east.

How far from shore

  • 16 ft deep550 ft
  • 33 ft deep1,000 ft
  • 66 ft deep0.4 mi
  • 164 ft deep0.9 mi

For fishing, swimming and diving

  • Shore fishing. Deep water close in: about 6.6 ft just 330 ft out. Good for casting from rocks, jetties or the beach itself; 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. Shore diving works here: 33 ft at 1,000 ft and 66 ft at 0.4 mi from shore.

Rough estimate: here the data comes in cells of about 0.3 mi and misses details near shore (rocks, sandbars, small coves).

Source: EMODnet Bathymetry DTM 2024, here using the GEBCO grid (CC BY 4.0), cells of about 0.3 mi; depth at the lowest astronomical tide. For reference only: not for navigation or anchoring.
