Where this tide comes from
Tides from the Bjerka station (Kartverket), 0.0 mi from Bjerka. Times and heights are its predictions. It is a NOAA subordinate station: its times and heights come from the Rørvik reference station with the official corrections.

The sea at Bjerka
Sea state
The wave model doesn't reach Bjerka: 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
The model doesn't separate offshore wind here: it's the same as on the coast.
Cross-offshore wind. The coast faces northwest and the wind comes off the land at an angle: calmer water near the shore, and bait and boats drift out to sea.

Solunar periods
Today's activity: medium- 12:24–2:24 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity
- 12:55–2:55 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
Deepens quicklyThe bottom deepens quickly: 33 ft of water 800 ft from shore. It reaches 164 ft at 2.5 mi.
From the shoreline (0.3 mi from Bjerka) out to sea, heading northwest.
How far from shore
- 16 ft deep380 ft
- 33 ft deep800 ft
- 66 ft deep1,300 ft
- 164 ft deep2.5 mi
For fishing, swimming and diving
- Shore fishing. Deep water close in: about 15 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 800 ft and 66 ft at 1,300 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.
