Sea stateSea state: moderate
The waves you may find
- Most commonMost common3.1 ft
- Significant6.2 ft

One wave in seven is higher than the significant height, and about 3 times a day one reaches 12 ft. Before heading out, expect waves of up to 12 ft.
Wind on the coast and offshore
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.
Wave height, next 7 daysWaves, next 7 days
Waves ease over the next few days. The biggest waves arrive on Thursday 29: 6.2 ft with a period of 10 s, from the west-southwest (moderate).

Diving in Bodø today
Diving and snorkeling today
Likely visibility: poor- Slack water around high tide (2:12 pm): little current from 1:50 pm to 2:30 pm
- 5.2 ft swell at 10 s from the west-southwest: strong surge on the bottom
- Light offshore wind (12 mph)
- 0.2 mph current toward the north-northeast, weak (model)
- Sun high: more light underwater
- Slack water today: high tide 1:47 am (1:30–2:10 am), low tide 7:58 am (7:30–8:20 am), high tide 2:12 pm (1:50–2:30 pm) and low tide 8:32 pm (8:00–9:00 pm)
- Likely visibility: poor. Swell (up to 5.7 ft at 10 s) and rain (0.45 in) over the last few days have stirred up the water. Based on the last 24 hours of data.
- Water at 47.1 °F: a drysuit, with hood, gloves and booties.
- Snorkeling: better not, with these waves, wind or current.
- Night dive: dark from 4:37 pm. Waning gibbous (85%): a bright night.
Your diving day at a glance
The best window, 1:30 pm to 2:50 pm, combines slack water at high tide, light wind, weak current and the sun high, though with a big swell. Also worth a look from 8:00 am to 9:00 am, with slack water at low tide, light wind and weak current, though with a big swell.
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- 1:25–3:25 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity
- 1:58–3:58 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 280 ft from shore.
From the shoreline (800 ft from Bodø) out to sea, heading northeast.
How far from shore
- 16 ft deep100 ft
- 33 ft deep280 ft
- 66 ft deepnot within 0.95 mi
- 164 ft deepnot within 0.95 mi
For fishing, swimming and diving
- Shore fishing. Deep water close in: about 35 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. 33 ft deep 280 ft from shore; 66 ft is far out (beyond 0.95 mi): for deeper dives, go by boat.
Inside bays, estuaries and harbors the bottom changes a lot from spot to spot (channels and shoals): use this only as a rough guide. There is land ahead (an island, a headland or the far shore) 0.95 mi out. The profile is turned slightly from the coast so it does not run into an island or a headland. Right by the shore the bottom may drop even faster than shown.
