The sea at Seyðisfjörður
Sea state
The wave model doesn't reach Seyðisfjörður: it's on inland water (an estuary, sound or sheltered bay) or far from the open sea. Wind is still available right here.
Wind on the coast and offshore
Cross-offshore wind. The coast faces north and the wind comes off the land at an angle: calmer water near the shore, and bait and boats drift out to sea.

Water depth
Drops off fastThe bottom drops off fast: the water is 33 ft deep just 220 ft from shore.
From the shoreline (1,250 ft from Seyðisfjörður) out to sea, heading north.
How far from shore
- 16 ft deep100 ft
- 33 ft deep220 ft
- 66 ft deep550 ft
- 164 ft deepnot within 1.3 mi
For fishing, swimming and diving
- Shore fishing. Deep water close in: about 44 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. Shore diving works here: 33 ft at 220 ft and 66 ft at 550 ft from shore.
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) 1.3 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.
