The sea at Rensvik
Sea stateSea state: slight
The waves you may find
- Most commonMost common1.8 ft
- Significant3.5 ft
- Highest expectedHighest7.2 ft
One wave in seven is higher than the significant height, and about 3 times a day one reaches 7.2 ft. Before heading out, expect waves of up to 7.2 ft.
Wind on the coast and offshore
Cross-shore wind. The coast faces north and the wind blows along the shore: drift and current run parallel to the beach.
Wave height, next 7 daysWaves, next 7 days
Waves ease over the next few days. The biggest waves arrive on Thursday 29: 4.5 ft with a period of 7 s, from the west (moderate).
Water temperature

- 2.5 ft swell at 9 s from the west-northwest: some surge on the bottom
- Strong cross-shore wind (25 mph)
- 0.8 mph current toward the east (model)
- Sun high: more light underwater
Not a day for shore diving: swell, wind, current or storms during the best window. If you go, go with a dive shop and only if they give the OK.
- Slack water today: high tide 12:30 am (12:10–12:50 am), low tide 6:44 am (6:20–7:10 am), high tide 12:47 pm (12:30–1:10 pm) and low tide 7:10 pm (6:40–7:40 pm)
- Likely visibility: good. Swell (up to 3.0 ft at 8 s) over the last few days has stirred up the water. Based on the last 24 hours of data.
- Water at 52.0 °F: a 7 mm semi-dry suit, with hood, gloves and booties.
- Snorkeling: better not, with these waves, wind or current.
- Night dive: dark from 5:17 pm. Waning gibbous (85%): a bright night.
Your diving day at a glance
The best window, 11:30 am to 2:30 pm, combines slack water at high tide and the sun high, though with some swell, strong wind and 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.

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 fastThe bottom drops off fast: the water is 33 ft deep just 150 ft from shore. It reaches 164 ft at 0.6 mi.
From the shoreline (2.1 mi from Rensvik) out to sea, heading north.
How far from shore
- 16 ft deep70 ft
- 33 ft deep150 ft
- 66 ft deep600 ft
- 164 ft deep0.6 mi
For fishing, swimming and diving
- Shore fishing. Deep water close in: about 44 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 150 ft and 66 ft at 600 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. Where the bottom comes up to the surface there are shoals, rocks or an islet next to the profile.
