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

The sea at Straume
Sea stateSea state: rough
The waves you may find
- Most commonMost common6.5 ft
- Significant13 ft
- Highest expectedHighest26 ft
One wave in seven is higher than the significant height, and about 3 times a day one reaches 26 ft. Before heading out, expect waves of up to 26 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 west and the wind blows along the shore: drift and current run parallel to the beach.

Waves ease over the next few days. The biggest waves arrive on Thursday 29: 15 ft with a period of 10 s, from the west-southwest (very rough).
Water temperature

Surf in Straume today
Surf today
Fair- 7.3–11 ft surf at the shore, big
- Big surf (11 ft): for experienced surfers
- 11 ft swell at 10 s from the west-southwest, a bit short
- Fresh offshore wind (20 mph): it holds up and grooms the waves
- Rising tide (high tide at 2:28 pm)
Big surf: for experienced surfers only. If in doubt, stay on the beach.
- Light: First light 7:00 am · sunrise 8:06 am · sunset 3:25 pm · last light 4:30 pm
- Tide: high 2:07 am (7.8 ft), low 8:20 am (1.7 ft), high 2:28 pm (7.8 ft) and low 8:46 pm (1.8 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.
- Water at 48.6 °F: a 6/5 hooded fullsuit with booties and gloves.
- Energy: 2,091 kJ · Very high power
Today’s surf at a glance
The best window, 12:00 pm to 2:00 pm, has a good size and light offshore wind, though with big surf. 4:00 pm to 4:30 pm can also work, with a good size, though with big surf.
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 Straume today
Diving and snorkeling today
Likely visibility: poor- Slack water around high tide (2:28 pm): little current from 2:10 pm to 2:50 pm
- 11 ft swell at 10 s from the west-southwest: heavy surge on the bottom
- Moderate cross-shore wind (16 mph)
- 0.8 mph current toward the north-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 2:07 am (1:50–2:30 am), low tide 8:20 am (8:00–8:40 am), high tide 2:28 pm (2:10–2:50 pm) and low tide 8:46 pm (8:20–9:10 pm)
- Likely visibility: poor. Swell (up to 12 ft at 11 s), rain (0.41 in) and wind over the last few days have stirred up the water. Based on the last 24 hours of data.
- Water at 48.6 °F: a drysuit, with hood, gloves and booties.
- Snorkeling: better not, with these waves, wind or current.
- Night dive: dark from 4:30 pm. Waning gibbous (85%): a bright night.
Your diving day at a glance
The best window, 1:30 pm to 3:10 pm, combines slack water at high tide and the sun high, though with a big swell, moderate wind and current. Also worth a look from 7:00 am to 10:00 am, with slack water at low tide and weak current, though with a big swell, fresh 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 226,618 mi away and looks 32′ 45″ across.
Solunar periods
Today's activity: high- 1:25–3:25 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity
- 1:57–3:57 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 260 ft from shore. It reaches 164 ft at 1.9 mi.
From the shoreline (1.9 mi from Straume) out to sea, heading west.
How far from shore
- 16 ft deep110 ft
- 33 ft deep260 ft
- 66 ft deep850 ft
- 164 ft deep1.9 mi
For fishing, swimming and diving
- Shore fishing. Deep water close in: about 40 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 260 ft and 66 ft at 850 ft from shore.
Right by the shore the bottom may drop even faster than shown.
