↓ Falling The tide is falling. 35 min to low tide at 3:49 am.
Tide coefficient 92 for the 10:01 am high tide and 86 for the 10:20 pm high tide. Spring tides. The water rises and falls 7.4 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. What is the tide coefficient?
2026 extremes: the highest tide of the year is on December 26 (4.4 ft) and the lowest, on March 20 (-4.3 ft).
Semidiurnal: two high and two low tides a day, of similar height.
Heights above mean sea level. Astronomical prediction: wind and air pressure can raise or lower the water by a few inches, and more in a storm. Not for navigation. mean sea level
Tide coefficient and range in October
The biggest tides of the month came from October 26 to 28 (coefficient 101, 7.9 ft range). The smallest, on October 19 (coefficient 27, 2.7 ft).

Where this tide comes from
Suðureyri has no tide station nearby: its tide is calculated with the global FES2022 model, from the nearest model cells offshore (the first one 2.0 mi away). It may differ from the real tide by a few minutes and inches, and more with wind or storms. Heights are above mean sea level, not chart datum, so low tides are negative. Not for navigation.
Model attribution: FES2022 Tide was produced by LEGOS, NOVELTIS and CLS, funded by CNES, and distributed by AVISO (https://doi.org/10.24400/527896/a01-2024.004), AVISO licence (https://www.aviso.altimetry.fr/fileadmin/documents/data/License_Aviso.pdf). Modified by TidePlanet: constants interpolated from the nearest model cells offshore; heights above mean sea level.
The sea at Suðureyri
Sea stateSea state: rough
The waves you may find
- Most commonMost common4.3 ft
- Significant8.7 ft
- Highest expectedHighest17 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 stay much the same all week. The biggest waves arrive on Thursday 29: 9.2 ft with a period of 9 s, from the north-northeast (rough).
Water temperature
Water temperature →The satellite measured 5.6 °F less 2 days ago than the model gives now: the water is probably colder than the forecast says.
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 about normal for late October.

Surf in Suðureyri today
Surf today
Good- 4.0–6.1 ft surf at the shore, a good size with some punch
- 6.6 ft swell at 8 s from the north-northeast, short: weak, messy waves
- Light offshore wind (10 mph): it holds up and grooms the waves
- First or last light of the day
- Rising tide (high tide at 10:01 am)
- Light: First light 8:22 am · sunrise 9:19 am · sunset 5:15 pm · last light 6:12 pm
- Tide: low 3:49 am (-3.6 ft), high 10:01 am (3.8 ft), low 4:27 pm (-3.2 ft) and high 10:20 pm (2.7 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 45.1 °F: a 6/5 hooded fullsuit with booties and gloves.
- Energy: 618 kJ · High power
Today’s surf at a glance
The best window, 8:22 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.
Diving in Suðureyri today
Diving and snorkeling today
Likely visibility: poor- Slack water around low tide (4:27 pm): little current from 4:10 pm to 4:50 pm
- 5.8 ft swell at 7 s from the north-northeast: strong surge on the bottom
- Light offshore wind (6 mph)
- 0.5 mph current toward the east-southeast, weak (model)
- Daylight
- Slack water today: low tide 3:49 am (3:30–4:10 am), high tide 10:01 am (9:40–10:30 am), low tide 4:27 pm (4:10–4:50 pm) and high tide 10:20 pm (9:50–10:50 pm)
- Likely visibility: poor. Swell (up to 13 ft at 9 s) and rain (0.51 in) over the last few days have stirred up the water. Based on the last 24 hours of data.
- Water at 45.1 °F: a drysuit, with hood, gloves and booties.
- Snorkeling: better not, with these waves, wind or current.
- Night dive: dark from 6:12 pm. Waning gibbous (85%): a bright night.
Your diving day at a glance
The best window, 3:50 pm to 5:20 pm, combines 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.

Moon phase and position
Today the moon is 226,641 mi away and looks 32′ 45″ across.
Solunar periods
Today's activity: high- 3:04–5:04 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity
- 3:36–5:36 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.

- 66 ft deepnot within 1.4 mi
- 164 ft deepnot within 1.4 mi
For fishing, swimming and diving
- Shore fishing. Shallow, gradual bottom (16 ft at 0.3 mi): cast far from the beach and fish the high tide, when there is more water close in.
- Swimming. A very gentle way in with plenty of shallow water, good for kids. At low tide the water can be far out.
- Diving. Shallow near shore: you only reach 33 ft at 1 mi. For dives deeper than 33 ft, go by boat.
There is land ahead (an island, a headland or the far shore) 1.4 mi out. Where the bottom comes up to the surface there are shoals, rocks or an islet next to the profile.
