The sea at Tjørnuvík
Sea stateSea state: rough
The waves you may find
- Most commonMost common4.2 ft
- Significant8.3 ft

One wave in seven is higher than the significant height, and about 3 times a day one reaches 17 ft. Before heading out, expect waves of up to 17 ft.
Wind on the coast and offshore
Cross-offshore wind. The coast faces northwest 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 ease over the next few days. The biggest waves arrive on Thursday 29: 11 ft with a period of 10 s, from the west (rough).
Water temperature

Surf in Tjørnuvík today
Surf today
Good- 3.4–5.2 ft surf at the shore, a good size with some punch
- 4.5 ft swell at 8 s from the north-northwest, a bit short

- Falling tide (low tide at 4:55 pm)
- Light: First light 7:04 am · sunrise 7:53 am · sunset 4:31 pm · last light 5:19 pm
- Tide: low 4:28 am (1.3 ft), high 10:22 am (6.6 ft), low 4:55 pm (1.3 ft) and high 10:53 pm (6.2 ft). Every break has its own tide: some work at low tide and others at high tide. The tide doesn’t change the score here.
- Water at 50.0 °F: a 6/5 hooded fullsuit with booties and gloves.
- Energy: 257 kJ · Medium power
Today’s surf at a glance
The best window, 12:00 pm to 4:00 pm, has a good size and light offshore wind.
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.

- Snorkeling: better not, with these waves, wind or current.
- Night dive: dark from 5:19 pm. Waning gibbous (85%), rising at 3:47 pm: a bright night.
Your diving day at a glance
The best window, 3:20 pm to 5:20 pm, combines slack water at low tide and light wind, though with some swell and current.
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 Tjørnuvík
Moon phase and position
Today the moon is 226,641 mi away and looks 32′ 45″ across.
Solunar periods
Today's activity: high- 1:55–3:55 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity
- 2:27–4:27 pm Major · the moon passes underfoot · high activity
- 2:38–3:38 pm Minor · moonset · medium activity
- 3:17–4:17 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.

- 66 ft deep0.35 mi

For fishing, swimming and diving
- Shore fishing. 33 ft of water just 1,100 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. Shore diving works here: 33 ft at 1,100 ft and 66 ft at 0.35 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).
