The water rises and falls 8.3 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 (10.2 ft) and the lowest, on April 18 (0.5 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 26 to 28 (coefficient 100, 8.4 ft range). The smallest, on October 19 (coefficient 30, 2.8 ft).

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

The sea at Nesna
Sea stateSea state: moderate
The waves you may find
- Most commonMost common2.4 ft
- Significant4.7 ft
- Highest expectedHighest9.6 ft
One wave in seven is higher than the significant height, and about 3 times a day one reaches 9.6 ft. Before heading out, expect waves of up to 9.6 ft.
Wind on the coast and offshore
Cross-shore wind. The coast faces northwest and the wind blows along the shore: drift and current run parallel to the beach.
Wave height, next 7 daysWaves, next 7 days
Waves stay much the same all week. The biggest waves arrive on Thursday 29: 5.2 ft with a period of 7 s, from the southwest (moderate).
Water temperature
Water temperature →The satellite measured 3.4 °F more yesterday 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 cools over the next few days: about 45.4 °F by Tuesday 3.
Water colder than normal for late October (−1.4 °F).

Diving in Nesna today
Diving and snorkeling today
Likely visibility: fair- Slack water around high tide (1:06 pm): little current from 12:50 pm to 1:21 pm
- 2.6 ft swell at 11 s from the west-southwest: some surge on the bottom
- Moderate cross-shore wind (14 mph)
- 0.1 mph current toward the north, weak (model)
- Sun high: more light underwater
- Slack water today: high tide 12:41 am (12:20–1:00 am), low tide 6:57 am (6:40–7:20 am), high tide 1:06 pm (12:50–1:21 pm) and low tide 7:20 pm (7:00–7:40 pm)
- Likely visibility: fair. Swell (up to 2.6 ft at 11 s) and rain (0.84 in) over the last few days have stirred up the water. Based on the last 24 hours of data.
- Water at 46.4 °F: a drysuit, with hood, gloves and booties.
- Snorkeling: better not, with these waves, wind or current.
- Night dive: dark from 4:49 pm. Waning gibbous (93%): a bright night.
Your diving day at a glance
The best window, 12:30 pm to 1:50 pm, combines slack water at high tide, weak current and the sun high, though with some swell and moderate wind. Also worth a look from 6:50 am to 8:30 am, with slack water at low tide and weak current, though with moderate wind and low light.
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 226,461 mi away and looks 32′ 47″ across.
Solunar periods
Today's activity: medium- 12:27–2:27 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity
- 12:59–2:59 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 100 ft from shore.
From the shoreline (0.35 mi from Nesna) out to sea, heading northwest.
How far from shore
- 16 ft deep50 ft
- 33 ft deep100 ft
- 66 ft deep290 ft
- 164 ft deepnot within 1.3 mi
For fishing, swimming and diving
- Shore fishing. Deep water close in: about 69 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 100 ft and 66 ft at 290 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. There is land ahead (an island, a headland or the far shore) 1.3 mi out. 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.
