Semidiurnal: two high and two low tides a day, of similar height.

Where this tide comes from
Tides from the Solfjellsjøen station (Kartverket), 0.0 mi from Solfjellsjøen. 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.

Licensed CC BY 4.0 (https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/). Modified: TidePlanet applies the zone's time delay (-5 min) and height factor (1.03) to the harmonic constants of Træna in the Slackwater database (https://github.com/openwatersio/slackwater-database).
The sea at Solfjellsjøen
Sea stateSea state: moderate
The waves you may find
- Most commonMost common2.1 ft
- Significant4.2 ft
- Highest expectedHighest8.7 ft
One wave in seven is higher than the significant height, and about 3 times a day one reaches 8.7 ft. Before heading out, expect waves of up to 8.7 ft.
Wind on the coast and offshore
The model doesn't separate offshore wind here: it's the same as on the coast.
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: 4.7 ft with a period of 7 s, from the west-southwest (moderate).
Water temperature
Water temperature →The satellite measured 3.4 °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 (−1.0 °F).

Your diving day at a glance
The best window, 1:00 pm to 2:40 pm, combines slack water at high tide and the sun high, though with waves, moderate 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.

Solunar periods
Today's activity: high- 1:33–3:33 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity
- 2:05–4:05 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
Gentle slopeThe bottom slopes gently: 16 ft deep 90 ft from shore and 33 ft at 0.35 mi. Right off the beach it already drops to about 32 ft.
From the shoreline out to sea, heading northwest.
How far from shore
- 16 ft deep90 ft
- 33 ft deep0.35 mi
- 66 ft deepnot within 0.4 mi
- 164 ft deepnot within 0.4 mi
For fishing, swimming and diving
- Shore fishing. Deep water close in: about 32 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 0.35 mi from shore; 66 ft is far out (beyond 0.4 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) 0.4 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.
