Surf in Old Sukkertoppen today
Surf today
Good- 3.3–5.1 ft surf at the shore, a good size with some punch
- 4.8 ft swell at 7 s from the northwest, short: weak, messy waves
- Light offshore wind (11 mph): it holds up and grooms the waves
- First or last light of the day
- Rising tide (high tide at 10:05 am)
- Light: First light 8:21 am · sunrise 9:17 am · sunset 5:16 pm · last light 6:12 pm
- Tide: low 3:42 am (1.4 ft), high 10:05 am (14.1 ft), low 4:28 pm (1.7 ft) and high 10:24 pm (11.2 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 37.2 °F: a 6/5 hooded fullsuit with booties and gloves.
- Energy: 249 kJ · Medium power
Today’s surf at a glance
The best window, 8:21 am to 12:00 pm, has a good size and light offshore wind, though with a short-period 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, 9:30 am to 10:30 am, combines slack water at high tide, light wind and weak current, though with some swell. Also worth a look from 3:50 pm to 5:00 pm, with slack water at low tide, light wind and weak current, though with a big swell.
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- 3:08–5:08 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity
- 3:41–5:41 pm Major · the moon passes underfoot · high 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.
