The water rises and falls 7.7 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.

Where this tide comes from

A · Official station

Tides from the Brønnøysund station (Kartverket), 0.0 mi from Brønnøysund. 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.

How we calculate the tide

Sea and waves

The sea at Brønnøysund

7-day waves

Sea stateSea state: moderate

Moderate Douglas 4 · strong breeze, Beaufort 6
Waves 6.1 ft · 10.7 s from the west-southwest (253°)
Swell 5.6 ft · 10.0 s from the west
Current 0.2 mph toward the NNE

The waves you may find

  • Most commonMost common3.1 ft
  • Significant6.1 ft
  • Highest expectedHighest12 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

On the coast 22 mph SSW · gusts 46
Offshore (6.3 mi WNW)Offshore 31 mph SSW · gusts 40

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: 7.2 ft with a period of 11 s, from the west (moderate).

Water temperature

Water now46.6 °F
Today 46.4–46.6 °F air: 48 / 50 °F
Satellite (2 days ago) 50.4 °F measured 0.9 mi away

The satellite measured 3.8 °F more 2 days ago than the model gives now: the water is probably warmer than the forecast says.

Water temperature changes how fish behave: in very cold or very warm water they feed less. The water is steady these days, with no sudden changes.

Water colder than normal for late October (−2.0 °F).

Your diving day at a glance

The best window, 1:00 pm to 2:20 pm, combines slack water at high tide, weak current and the sun high, though with a big swell and fresh wind. Also worth a look from 7:50 am to 8:40 am, with weak current, though with a big swell 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.

Today's activity: high
  • 1:34–3:34 am Major · the moon passes overhead · 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 950 ft from shore. It reaches 164 ft at 2.9 mi.

From the shoreline (1.3 mi from Brønnøysund) out to sea, heading southwest.

How far from shore

  • 16 ft deep400 ft
  • 33 ft deep950 ft
  • 66 ft deep1.6 mi
  • 164 ft deep2.9 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. 33 ft deep 950 ft from shore; 66 ft is far out (1.6 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. 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. Where the bottom comes up to the surface there are shoals, rocks or an islet next to the profile.
