Where this tide comes from
Tides from the Elnesvågen station (Kartverket), 0.0 mi from Elnesvågen. 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.

Sea stateSea state: slight
The waves you may find
- Most commonMost common1.7 ft
- Significant3.3 ft
- Highest expectedHighest6.9 ft
One wave in seven is higher than the significant height, and about 3 times a day one reaches 6.9 ft. Before heading out, expect waves of up to 6.9 ft.
Wind on the coast and offshore
Cross-onshore wind. The coast faces south and the wind comes in from the sea at an angle: a bit more surf at the shore and drift along the coast, toward land.
Wave height, next 7 daysWaves, next 7 days
Waves stay much the same all week. The biggest waves arrive on Thursday 29: 3.7 ft with a period of 5 s, from the west (slight).

Your diving day at a glance
The best window, 11:50 am to 1:40 pm, combines slack water at high tide, weak current and the sun high, though with fresh 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- 1:55–3:55 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity
- 2:28–4:28 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 420 ft from shore. It reaches 164 ft at 1.3 mi.
From the shoreline (1,300 ft from Elnesvågen) out to sea, heading southwest.
How far from shore
- 16 ft deep260 ft
- 33 ft deep420 ft
- 66 ft deep900 ft
- 164 ft deep1.3 mi
For fishing, swimming and diving
- Shore fishing. Deep water close in: about 24 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 420 ft and 66 ft at 900 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) 1.7 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. Where the bottom comes up to the surface there are shoals, rocks or an islet next to the profile.
