The sea at Lovund
Sea stateSea state: rough
The waves you may find
- Most commonMost common6.0 ft
- Significant12 ft
- Highest expectedHighest24 ft
One wave in seven is higher than the significant height, and about 3 times a day one reaches 24 ft. Before heading out, expect waves of up to 24 ft.
Wind on the coast and offshore
The model doesn't separate offshore wind here: it's the same as on the coast.
Cross-onshore wind. The coast faces west 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: 12 ft with a period of 11 s, from the west-southwest (rough).
Water temperature

Surf in Lovund today
Surf today

- Big surf (12 ft): for experienced surfers
- 8.1 ft swell at 11 s from the west, average
- 8.7 ft wind swell at 7 s: messy waves
- Strong onshore wind (27 mph): choppy, blown-out waves
- First or last light of the day
- Rising tide (high tide at 1:53 pm)
Big surf: for experienced surfers only. If in doubt, stay on the beach.
- Light: First light 6:59 am · sunrise 7:57 am · sunset 3:50 pm · last light 4:48 pm
- Tide: high 1:30 am (9.5 ft), low 7:44 am (1.9 ft), high 1:53 pm (9.5 ft) and low 8:12 pm (2.2 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.

Today’s surf at a glance
The best window, 7:00 am to 11:00 am, has a good size, though with big surf, wind swell and onshore 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.
Follow the flags and the lifeguards, and don’t paddle out if the surf is above your level: this score is a guide, not a substitute for what you see when you get there.
Diving in Lovund today
Diving and snorkeling today
Likely visibility: poor- Slack water around low tide (7:44 am): little current from 7:20 am to 8:10 am
- 7.5 ft swell at 11 s from the west: heavy surge on the bottom
- Strong onshore wind (28 mph)
- 1.1 mph current toward the northeast (model)
- Sun high: more light underwater
Not a day for shore diving: swell, wind, current or storms during the best window. If you go, go with a dive shop and only if they give the OK.
- Slack water today: high tide 1:30 am (1:10–1:50 am), low tide 7:44 am (7:20–8:10 am), high tide 1:53 pm (1:38–2:10 pm) and low tide 8:12 pm (7:50–8:40 pm)
- Likely visibility: poor. Swell (up to 11 ft at 11 s), rain (1.04 in) and wind over the last few days have stirred up the water. Based on the last 24 hours of data.
- Water at 49.5 °F: a drysuit, with hood, gloves and booties.
- Snorkeling: better not, with these waves, wind or current.
- Night dive: dark from 4:48 pm. Waning gibbous (85%): a bright night.
Your diving day at a glance
The best window, 7:00 am to 10:00 am, combines slack water at low tide and the sun high, though with a big swell, strong wind 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.
Never dive alone and check with the local dive shop: this rating is a guide, not a substitute for a professional.

Moon phase and position
Today the moon is 226,618 mi away and looks 32′ 45″ across.
Solunar periods
Today's activity: high- 1:34–3:34 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity
- 2:06–4:06 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.

- 33 ft deep800 ft
- 66 ft deep1.1 mi

For fishing, swimming and diving
- Shore fishing. 33 ft of water just 800 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. 33 ft deep 800 ft from shore; 66 ft is far out (1.1 mi): for deeper dives, go by boat.
The profile is turned slightly from the coast so it does not run into an island or a headland. Where the bottom comes up to the surface there are shoals, rocks or an islet next to the profile.
