2026 extremes: the highest tide of the year is on December 26 (10.2 ft) and the lowest, on August 14 (0.5 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)

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

The sea at Kjøllefjord
Sea stateSea state: smooth
The waves you may find
- Most commonMost common0.8 ft
- Significant1.6 ft
- Highest expectedHighest3.3 ft
One wave in seven is higher than the significant height, and about 3 times a day one reaches 3.3 ft. Before heading out, expect waves of up to 3.3 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 build over the next few days. The biggest waves arrive on Tuesday 3: 5.9 ft with a period of 7 s, from the north-northwest (moderate).
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.

Your diving day at a glance
The best window, 9:50 am to 10:30 am, combines little swell, light wind, weak current and the sun high, though with tidal 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.

Today the moon is 226,618 mi away and looks 32′ 45″ across.
Solunar periods
Today's activity: high- 12:31–2:31 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity
- 1:03–3:03 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.

Water depth
Drops off fastThe bottom drops off fast: the water is 33 ft deep just 300 ft from shore. It reaches 164 ft at 0.7 mi.
From the shoreline (0.35 mi from Kjøllefjord) out to sea, heading northwest.
How far from shore
- 16 ft deep100 ft
- 33 ft deep300 ft
- 66 ft deep650 ft
- 164 ft deep0.7 mi
For fishing, swimming and diving
- Shore fishing. Deep water close in: about 34 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 300 ft and 66 ft at 650 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. Right by the shore the bottom may drop even faster than shown.
