Semidiurnal: two high and two low tides a day, of similar height.

Where this tide comes from
Tides from the Njiđgu station (Kartverket), 1.2 mi from Varangerbotn. Times and heights are its predictions. It is a NOAA subordinate station: its times and heights come from the Vardø reference station with the official corrections.

The sea at Varangerbotn
Sea state
The wave model doesn't reach Varangerbotn: it's on inland water (an estuary, sound or sheltered bay) or far from the open sea. Wind is still available right here.
Wind on the coast and offshore
The model doesn't separate offshore wind here: it's the same as on the coast.
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.

Moon phase and position
Today the moon is 226,618 mi away and looks 32′ 45″ across.
Solunar periods
Today's activity: high- 12:26–2:26 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity
- 12:58–2:58 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
Shallow, gradualShallow, gradual bottom: you need to go 1.2 mi out for 33 ft of water.
From the shoreline (1,100 ft from Varangerbotn) out to sea, heading east.
How far from shore
- 16 ft deep0.75 mi
- 33 ft deep1.2 mi
- 66 ft deepnot within 3.1 mi
- 164 ft deepnot within 3.1 mi
For fishing, swimming and diving
- Shore fishing. Shallow, gradual bottom (16 ft at 0.75 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 1.2 mi. For dives deeper than 33 ft, go by boat.
Inside bays, estuaries and harbors the bottom changes a lot from spot to spot (channels and shoals): use this only as a rough guide.
