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

Your diving day at a glance
The best window, 10:40 am to 1:20 pm, combines slack water at low tide, small waves, light wind and the sun high. Also good from 7:20 am to 8:10 am, with slack water at high tide, small waves and light wind. Also worth a look from 4:00 pm to 5:10 pm, with small waves and light wind, though with 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.

The moon in Sydstranda
Moon phase and position
Today the moon is 226,618 mi away and looks 32′ 45″ across.
Solunar periods
Today's activity: high- 1:40–3:40 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity
- 2:13–4:13 pm Major · the moon passes underfoot · high activity
- 12:55–1:55 pm Minor · moonset · medium activity
- 4:30–5:30 pm Minor · moonrise · medium 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 120 ft from shore. It reaches 164 ft at 850 ft.
From the shoreline (0.8 mi from Sydstranda) out to sea, heading southwest.
How far from shore
- 16 ft deep60 ft
- 33 ft deep120 ft
- 66 ft deep230 ft
- 164 ft deep850 ft
For fishing, swimming and diving
- Shore fishing. Deep water close in: about 98 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 120 ft and 66 ft at 230 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) 2.3 mi out. Right by the shore the bottom may drop even faster than shown.
