  • ▼ Low tide 8:50 pm 2.6 ft

↑ Rising The tide is rising. 27 min to high tide at 2:28 pm.

Tide coefficient 96 for the 2:02 am high tide and 92 for the 2:28 pm high tide. Spring tides. The water rises and falls 9.5 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 (12.2 ft) and the lowest, on August 14 (0.6 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 27 to 28 (coefficient 100, 10.2 ft range). The smallest, on October 19 (coefficient 29, 3.3 ft).

Sea and waves

The sea at Bjerkvik

Hourly wind

Sea state

The wave model doesn't reach Bjerkvik: 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

On the coast 6 mph ESE · gusts 14

The model doesn't separate offshore wind here: it's the same as on the coast.

Cross-shore wind. The coast faces southwest and the wind blows along the shore: drift and current run parallel to the beach.

Solunar periods

Today's activity: high
  • 1:12–3:12 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity
  • 1:44–3:44 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 quickly

The bottom deepens quickly: 33 ft of water 1,100 ft from shore. It reaches 164 ft at 0.45 mi.

From the shoreline out to sea, heading southwest.

How far from shore

  • 16 ft deep700 ft
  • 33 ft deep1,100 ft
  • 66 ft deep1,250 ft
  • 164 ft deep0.45 mi

For fishing, swimming and diving

  • Shore fishing. 33 ft of water just 1,100 ft from shore: a good cast reaches deep water. Current and surf hit harder here.
  • Swimming. The water gets deeper little by little, but a few dozen yards out you can no longer stand.
  • Diving. Shore diving works here: 33 ft at 1,100 ft and 66 ft at 1,250 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.
