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

The sea at Havøysund
Sea stateSea state: slight
The waves you may find
- Most commonMost common1.8 ft
- Significant3.7 ft
- Highest expectedHighest7.6 ft
One wave in seven is higher than the significant height, and about 3 times a day one reaches 7.6 ft. Before heading out, expect waves of up to 7.6 ft.
Wind on the coast and offshore
The model doesn't separate offshore wind here: it's the same as on the coast.
Cross-shore wind. The coast faces west and the wind blows along the shore: drift and current run parallel to the beach.
Wave height, next 7 daysWaves, next 7 days
Waves build over the next few days. The biggest waves arrive on Monday 2: 8.7 ft with a period of 8 s, from the west (rough).
Water temperature
Water temperature →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.

Surf in Havøysund today
Surf today
Poor- 1.0–1.6 ft surf at the shore, small: good for learning or a longboard
- 0.9 ft swell at 10 s from the west, a bit short
- Moderate offshore wind (17 mph): it holds up and grooms the waves
- First or last light of the day
- Falling tide (low tide at 9:33 am)
- Light: First light 6:26 am · sunrise 7:42 am · sunset 2:27 pm · last light 3:42 pm
- Tide: high 3:11 am (9.6 ft), low 9:33 am (1.5 ft), high 3:39 pm (9.8 ft) and low 9:57 pm (1.9 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 45.9 °F: a 6/5 hooded fullsuit with booties and gloves.
- Energy: 15 kJ · Low power
Today’s surf at a glance
The best window, 6:26 am to 9:00 am, has light offshore wind, though with small waves. 10:00 am to 2:00 pm can also work, though with small waves, a short-period swell, wind swell and cross-shore wind.
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 low tide, little swell, weak current and the sun high, though with moderate wind.
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- 12:10–2:10 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.

For fishing, swimming and diving
- Shore fishing. Shallow, gradual bottom (16 ft at 1,050 ft): 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. Shore diving works here: 33 ft at 0.3 mi and 66 ft at 0.5 mi from shore.
