Your day at a glance

The best window, 3:20 pm to 4:30 pm, combines a major period, sunset and a light onshore breeze, though with rising pressure. Also worth a try from 11:40 am to 1:40 pm, with the 12:45 pm high tide and a light onshore breeze, though with rising pressure. Also worth a try from 5:40 am to 7:40 am, with the 6:42 am low tide and sunrise, though with rising pressure.

Tide coefficient 95 for the 12:28 am high tide and 91 for the 12:45 pm high tide. Spring tides. The water rises and falls 6.1 ft between the highest high and the lowest low: a large 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 December 26 (8.1 ft) and the lowest, on July 16 (0.4 ft).

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

Where this tide comes from

A · Official station

Tides from the Åndalsnes station (Kartverket), 0.0 mi from Åndalsnes. Times and heights are its predictions. It is a NOAA subordinate station: its times and heights come from the Kristiansund reference station with the official corrections.

How we calculate the tide

Sea and waves

The sea at Åndalsnes

Hourly wind

Sea state

The wave model doesn't reach Åndalsnes: 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

On the coast 2 mph SW · gusts 7

The model doesn't separate offshore wind here: it's the same as on the coast.

Cross-offshore wind. The coast faces north and the wind comes off the land at an angle: calmer water near the shore, and bait and boats drift out to sea.

Cross-offshore Hourly wind →

Water temperature

Water temperature →
Water now49.8 °F
Today 49.6–49.8 °F air: 48 / 52 °F
Satellite (2 days ago) 52.7 °F measured 0.2 mi away

The satellite measured 2.9 °F more 2 days ago than the model gives now: the water is probably warmer than the forecast says.

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 48.7 °F by Wednesday 4.

Water about normal for late October.

Solunar periods

Today's activity: high
  • 1:53–3:53 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity
  • 2:25–4:25 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 fast

The bottom drops off fast: the water is 33 ft deep just 310 ft from shore. It reaches 164 ft at 0.35 mi.

From the shoreline (700 ft from Åndalsnes) out to sea, heading northwest.

How far from shore

  • 16 ft deep150 ft
  • 33 ft deep310 ft
  • 66 ft deep650 ft
  • 164 ft deep0.35 mi

For fishing, swimming and diving

  • Shore fishing. Deep water close in: about 35 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 310 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. There is land ahead (an island, a headland or the far shore) 0.95 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.
