Tides in Lyngdal
Today's high and low tides
- ▲ Next high tide 4:58 am 1.7 ft
- ▼ Low tide 11:07 am 1.2 ft
- ▲ High tide 5:34 pm 1.7 ft
- ▼ Low tide 11:49 pm 1.3 ft
↑ Rising The tide is rising. 2 h 57 min to high tide at 4:58 am.
In Lyngdal the astronomical tide is very small: about 0.5 ft between high and low tide. Here the sea level is moved mostly by wind and air pressure (storm surge), which can raise or lower it more than the tide itself.
2026 extremes: the highest tide of the year is on November 25 (1.8 ft) and the lowest, on April 26 (0.7 ft).
Heights above chart datum (CD), the zero of that port's nautical charts. 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 (CD)

Where this tide comes from
Tides from the Lyngdal station (Kartverket), 0.0 mi from Lyngdal. Times and heights are its predictions. It is a NOAA subordinate station: its times and heights come from the Tregde reference station with the official corrections.

The sea at Lyngdal
Sea stateSea state: slight
The waves you may find
- Most commonMost common1.8 ft
- Significant3.7 ft
- Highest expectedHighest7.5 ft
One wave in seven is higher than the significant height, and about 3 times a day one reaches 7.5 ft. Before heading out, expect waves of up to 7.5 ft.
Wind on the coast and offshore
Cross-onshore wind. The coast faces southwest and the wind comes in from the sea at an angle: a bit more surf at the shore and drift along the coast, toward land.
Wave height, next 7 daysWaves, next 7 days
Waves ease over the next few days. The biggest waves arrive on Thursday 29: 3.9 ft with a period of 7 s, from the southwest (slight).
Water temperature
Water temperature →Water temperature changes how fish behave: in very cold or very warm water they feed less. The water cools over the next few days: about 53.5 °F by Wednesday 4.
Water warmer than normal for late October (+2.3 °F).

Diving in Lyngdal today
Diving and snorkeling today
Likely visibility: poor- 2.4 ft swell at 5 s from the southwest: some surge on the bottom
- Light onshore wind (8 mph)
- 0.3 mph current toward the north, weak (model)
- Sun high: more light underwater
- Slack water today: none; the tide doesn't count here
- Likely visibility: poor. Swell (up to 5.8 ft at 7 s) and rain (0.26 in) over the last few days have stirred up the water. Based on the last 24 hours of data.
- Water at 54.3 °F: a 7 mm semi-dry suit, with hood, gloves and booties.
- Snorkeling: doable, with some waves or wind.
- Night dive: dark from 5:33 pm. Waning gibbous (85%), rising at 5:44 pm: a bright night.
Your diving day at a glance
The best window, 9:30 am to 12:30 pm, combines light wind, weak current and the sun high. Also worth a look from 7:40 am to 8:20 am, with light wind, though with current.
In Lyngdal the tide barely moves the water, so there's no slack to wait for: swell, wind and current are what count.
Never dive alone and check with the local dive shop: this rating is a guide, not a substitute for a professional.

The moon in Lyngdal
Moon phase and position
Today the moon is 226,618 mi away and looks 32′ 45″ across.
Solunar periods
Today's activity: high- 1:56–3:56 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity
- 2:28–4:28 pm Major · the moon passes underfoot · high activity
- 12:41–1:41 pm Minor · moonset · medium activity
- 5:14–6:14 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 quicklyThe bottom deepens quickly: 33 ft of water 800 ft from shore. It reaches 164 ft at 0.8 mi.
From the shoreline (1.2 mi from Lyngdal) out to sea, heading southwest.
How far from shore
- 16 ft deep700 ft
- 33 ft deep800 ft
- 66 ft deep1,150 ft
- 164 ft deep0.8 mi
For fishing, swimming and diving
- Shore fishing. 33 ft of water just 800 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 800 ft and 66 ft at 1,150 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. Where the bottom comes up to the surface there are shoals, rocks or an islet next to the profile.
