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

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

The sea at Straumen
Sea state
The wave model doesn't reach Straumen: it's on inland water (an estuary, sound or sheltered bay) or far from the open sea. Wind is still available right here.
Wind on the coast and offshore
The model doesn't separate offshore wind here: it's the same as on the coast.
Offshore wind. The coast faces northwest and the wind blows from land out to sea: calm shore and clean waves, but watch the drift out to sea.

Moon phase and position
Today the moon is 226,461 mi away and looks 32′ 47″ across.
Solunar periods
Today's activity: medium- 12:17–2:17 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity
- 12:48–2:48 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 0.3 mi from shore and 33 ft at 0.95 mi. Right off the beach it already drops to about 11 ft.
From the shoreline (0.5 mi from Straumen) out to sea, heading north.
How far from shore
- 16 ft deep0.3 mi
- 33 ft deep0.95 mi
- 66 ft deep1.2 mi
- 164 ft deepnot within 3 mi
For fishing, swimming and diving
- Shore fishing. About 11 ft of water 330 ft out: long casts help, and so does a rising tide, which brings fish closer in.
- 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. Shallow near shore: you only reach 33 ft at 0.95 mi. For dives deeper than 33 ft, 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) 3 mi out. The profile is turned slightly from the coast so it does not run into an island or a headland.
