↓ Falling The tide is falling. 4 h 54 min to low tide at 6:42 am.
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.
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)
Tide coefficient and range in October
The biggest tides of the month came from October 26 to 28 (coefficient 99, 6.6 ft range). The smallest, on October 19 (coefficient 29, 1.8 ft).

Where this tide comes from
Tides from the Nesjestranda station (Kartverket), 1.1 mi from Sølsnes. 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.

The sea at Sølsnes
Sea stateSea state: rough
The waves you may find
- Most commonMost common4.4 ft
- Significant8.8 ft
- Highest expectedHighest17 ft
One wave in seven is higher than the significant height, and about 3 times a day one reaches 17 ft. Before heading out, expect waves of up to 17 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 ease over the next few days. The biggest waves arrive on Thursday 29: 9.5 ft with a period of 9 s, from the west (rough).
Water temperature

Your diving day at a glance
The best window, 7:10 am to 7:50 am, combines light wind and weak current, though with waves and low light. Also worth a look from 12:10 pm to 1:30 pm, with slack water at high tide, weak current and the sun high, though with waves and 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.

Moon phase and position
Today the moon is 226,618 mi away and looks 32′ 45″ across.
Solunar periods
Today's activity: high- 1:54–3:54 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity
- 2:26–4:26 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 400 ft from shore. It reaches 164 ft at 1.1 mi.
From the shoreline (600 ft from Sølsnes) out to sea, heading south.
How far from shore
- 16 ft deep210 ft
- 33 ft deep400 ft
- 66 ft deep0.55 mi
- 164 ft deep1.1 mi
For fishing, swimming and diving
- Shore fishing. Deep water close in: about 28 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 400 ft and 66 ft at 0.55 mi 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.
