Tides in Åros
Today's high and low tides
- ▲ High tide 6:31 am 2.8 ft · coef. 70
- ▼ Low tide 11:25 am 1.9 ft
- ▲ High tide 6:53 pm 3.0 ft · coef. 70
↓ Falling The tide is falling. 28 min to low tide at 12:16 am.
Tide coefficient 70 for the 6:31 am high tide and 70 for the 6:53 pm high tide. Average coefficient. The water rises and falls 1.1 ft between the highest high and the lowest low: an average 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 August 22 (3.3 ft) and the lowest, on March 29 (1.1 ft).
Semidiurnal: two high and two low tides a day, of similar height.
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)
Tide coefficient and range in October
The biggest tides of the month came from October 6 to 7 (coefficient 90, 1.5 ft range). The smallest, from October 14 to 15 (coefficient 49, 0.9 ft).

The sea at Åros
Sea stateSea state: smooth
The waves you may find
- Most commonMost common0.3 ft
- Significant0.7 ft
- Highest expectedHighest1.4 ft
One wave in seven is higher than the significant height, and about 3 times a day one reaches 1.4 ft. Before heading out, expect waves of up to 1.4 ft.
Wind on the coast and offshore
Cross-offshore wind. The coast faces east 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 Wednesday 28: 1.0 ft with a period of 3 s, from the south (smooth).
Water temperature

Your diving day at a glance
The best window, 10:00 am to 12:20 pm, combines slack water at low tide, little swell, light wind, weak current and the sun high. Also good from 3:30 pm to 4:30 pm, with little swell, light wind and weak 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.

Moon phase and position
Today the moon is 226,461 mi away and looks 32′ 47″ across.
Solunar periods
Today's activity: high- 12:38–2:38 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity
- 1:09–3:09 pm Major · the moon passes underfoot · high activity
- 11:21 am–12:21 pm Minor · moonset · medium activity
- 3:51–4:51 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
Drops off fastThe bottom drops off fast: the water is 33 ft deep just 50 ft from shore. It reaches 164 ft at 270 ft.
From the shoreline (0.85 mi from Åros) out to sea, heading northeast.
How far from shore
- 16 ft deep30 ft
- 33 ft deep50 ft
- 66 ft deep100 ft
- 164 ft deep270 ft
For fishing, swimming and diving
- Shore fishing. Deep water close in: about 195 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 50 ft and 66 ft at 100 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) 1.9 mi out. The profile is turned slightly from the coast so it does not run into an island or a headland. Right by the shore the bottom may drop even faster than shown.
