Tides in Lervik
Today's high and low tides
- ▲ High tide 6:19 am 2.4 ft · coef. 69
- ▼ Next low tide 11:56 am 1.5 ft
- ▲ High tide 6:51 pm 2.6 ft · coef. 68
↓ Falling The tide is falling. 4 h 34 min to low tide at 11:56 am.
Tide coefficient 69 for the 6:19 am high tide and 68 for the 6:51 pm high tide. Low coefficient. The water rises and falls 1.1 ft between the highest high and the lowest low: a large range for this place. 70 is an average tide here; 90 and above means spring tides; below 45, neap tides. What is the tide coefficient?
2026 extremes: the highest tide of the year is on August 22 (2.8 ft) and the lowest, on March 29 (0.8 ft).
Semidiurnal: two high and two low tides a day, of similar height.
Heights above chart datum (CD), the zero of that port's nautical charts. Astronomical prediction: wind and air pressure can raise or lower the water by a few inches, and more in a storm. Not for navigation. chart datum (CD)
Tide coefficient and range in October
The biggest tides of the month came from October 6 to 7 (coefficient 89, 1.3 ft range). The smallest, from October 14 to 15 (coefficient 47, 0.7 ft).

Where this tide comes from
Tides from the Lervik station (Kartverket), 0.0 mi from Lervik. 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 Lervik
Sea stateSea state: slight
The waves you may find
- Most commonMost common1.2 ft
- Significant2.4 ft
- Highest expectedHighest4.9 ft
One wave in seven is higher than the significant height, and about 3 times a day one reaches 4.9 ft. Before heading out, expect waves of up to 4.9 ft.
Wind on the coast and offshore
Cross-onshore wind. The coast faces south and the wind comes in from the sea at an angle: a bit more surf at the shore and drift along the coast, toward land.
Wave height, next 7 daysWaves, next 7 days
Waves ease over the next few days. The biggest waves arrive on Thursday 29: 3.5 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 48.2 °F by Wednesday 4.

Your diving day at a glance
The best window, 11:00 am to 12:30 pm, combines slack water at low tide, light wind, weak current and the sun high. Also good from 3:30 pm to 4:30 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 226,618 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
- 12:44–1:44 pm Minor · moonset · medium activity
- 4:41–5:41 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
Gentle slopeThe bottom slopes gently: 16 ft deep 460 ft from shore and 33 ft at 0.55 mi. Right off the beach it already drops to about 13 ft. It reaches 164 ft at 1.3 mi.
From the shoreline out to sea, heading southwest.
How far from shore
- 16 ft deep460 ft
- 33 ft deep0.55 mi
- 66 ft deep0.7 mi
- 164 ft deep1.3 mi
For fishing, swimming and diving
- Shore fishing. About 13 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. Shore diving works here: 33 ft at 0.55 mi and 66 ft at 0.7 mi 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. The profile is turned slightly from the coast so it does not run into an island or a headland. Where the bottom comes up to the surface there are shoals, rocks or an islet next to the profile.
