The waves you may find
- Most commonMost common4.0 ft
- Significant8.0 ft
- Highest expectedHighest16 ft
One wave in seven is higher than the significant height, and about 3 times a day one reaches 16 ft. Before heading out, expect waves of up to 16 ft.
Wind on the coast and offshore
The model doesn't separate offshore wind here: it's the same as on the coast.
Offshore wind. The coast faces north and the wind blows from land out to sea: calm shore and clean waves, but watch the drift out to sea.

Surf in Andenes today
Surf today
Fair- 2.3–3.6 ft surf at the shore, a fun size for most surfers
- 4.0 ft swell at 10 s from the west-southwest, a bit short; it hits this coast at an angle
- Fresh offshore wind (18 mph): it holds up and grooms the waves
- Falling tide (low tide at 8:05 pm)
- Light: First light 6:53 am · sunrise 8:00 am · sunset 3:17 pm · last light 4:25 pm
- Tide: high 1:28 am (7.9 ft), low 7:43 am (1.5 ft), high 1:51 pm (7.9 ft) and low 8:05 pm (1.7 ft). Every break has its own tide: some work at low tide and others at high tide. The tide doesn’t change the score here.
- Water at 48.7 °F: a 6/5 hooded fullsuit with booties and gloves.
- Energy: 307 kJ · Medium power
Today’s surf at a glance
The best window, 2:00 pm to 4:00 pm, has a good size and light offshore wind. 12:00 pm to 1:00 pm also works, with light offshore wind.
An estimate for this stretch of coast, not for a specific break: every beach or reef works its own way (its tide, bottom and angle). Check it when you get there.

Your diving day at a glance
The best window, 6:50 am to 7:30 am, combines slack water at low tide and light wind, though with current and low light. Also worth a look from 8:30 am to 9:20 am, with light wind and the sun high, though with tidal current 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.

Solunar periods
Today's activity: medium- 12:15–2:15 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity
- 12:46–2:46 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.

For fishing, swimming and diving
- Shore fishing. Shallow, gradual bottom (16 ft at 950 ft): cast far from the beach and fish the high tide, when there is more water close in.
- Swimming. The water gets deeper little by little, but a few dozen yards out you can no longer stand.
- Diving. 33 ft deep 0.5 mi from shore; 66 ft is far out (1.8 mi): for deeper dives, go by boat.
