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

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

The sea at Fredrikstad
Sea stateSea state: slight
The waves you may find
- Most commonMost common1.5 ft
- Significant3.0 ft
- Highest expectedHighest6.1 ft
One wave in seven is higher than the significant height, and about 3 times a day one reaches 6.1 ft. Before heading out, expect waves of up to 6.1 ft.
Wind on the coast and offshore
Onshore wind. The coast faces southwest and the wind blows straight in from the sea: more surf and backwash at the shore, and bait and boats drift toward land.
Wave height, next 7 daysWaves, next 7 days
Waves stay much the same all week. The biggest waves arrive on Wednesday 28: 3.8 ft with a period of 5 s, from the south-southwest (slight).
Water temperature
Water temperature →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 49.7 °F by Tuesday 3.
Water warmer than normal for late October (+2.6 °F).

Your diving day at a glance
The best window, 9:40 am to 11:40 am, combines slack water at low tide, light wind, weak current and the sun high. Also good from 2:30 pm to 4:20 pm, with light wind and weak 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.

Moon phase and position
Today the moon is 226,461 mi away and looks 32′ 47″ across.
Solunar periods
Today's activity: high- 12:36–2:36 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity
- 1:08–3:08 pm Major · the moon passes underfoot · high activity
- 11:12 am–12:12 pm Minor · moonset · medium activity
- 3:56–4:56 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.
