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

The sea at Austrått
Sea stateSea state: slight
The waves you may find
- Most commonMost common1.6 ft
- Significant3.1 ft
- Highest expectedHighest6.3 ft
One wave in seven is higher than the significant height, and about 3 times a day one reaches 6.3 ft. Before heading out, expect waves of up to 6.3 ft.
Wind on the coast and offshore
Cross-offshore wind. The coast faces north and the wind comes off the land at an angle: calmer water near the shore, and bait and boats drift out to sea.
Wave height, next 7 daysWaves, next 7 days
Waves stay much the same all week. The biggest waves arrive on Thursday 29: 3.7 ft with a period of 9 s, from the west (slight).
Water temperature
Water temperature →Water temperature changes how fish behave: in very cold or very warm water they feed less. The water is steady these days, with no sudden changes.

Diving in Austrått today
Diving and snorkeling today
Likely visibility: poor- 2.4 ft swell at 7 s from the west-northwest: some surge on the bottom
- Light cross-shore wind (5 mph)
- 0.1 mph current toward the east, weak (model)
- Sun high: more light underwater
- Slack water today: high tide 12:01 am (11:46 pm–12:16 am), low tide 6:00 am (5:45–6:15 am), high tide 12:23 pm (12:08–12:38 pm) and low tide 6:18 pm (6:03–6:33 pm)
- Likely visibility: poor. Swell (up to 5.3 ft at 8 s) and rain (0.48 in) over the last few days have stirred up the water. Based on the last 24 hours of data.
- Water at 54.5 °F: a 7 mm semi-dry suit, with hood, gloves and booties.
- Snorkeling: doable, with some waves or wind.
- Night dive: dark from 5:36 pm. Waning gibbous (85%), rising at 5:39 pm: a bright night.
Your diving day at a glance
The best window, 2:40 pm to 3:30 pm, combines light wind, weak current and the sun high. Also good from 12:00 pm to 12:40 pm, with slack water at high tide, light wind, weak current and the sun high. Also worth a look from 8:30 am to 9:50 am, with light wind and weak current, though with some swell.
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- 2:01–4:01 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity
- 2:34–4:34 pm Major · the moon passes underfoot · high activity
- 12:57–1:57 pm Minor · moonset · medium activity
- 5:09–6:09 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 0.4 mi. It reaches 164 ft at 1.6 mi.
From the shoreline (0.7 mi from Austrått) out to sea, heading north.

- 33 ft deep0.4 mi
- 66 ft deep0.85 mi
- 164 ft deep1.6 mi
For fishing, swimming and diving
- Shore fishing. About 8.2 ft of water 330 ft out: long casts help, and so does a rising tide, which brings fish closer in.
- Swimming. The water gets deeper little by little, but a few dozen yards out you can no longer stand.
- Diving. Shore diving works here: 33 ft at 0.4 mi and 66 ft at 0.85 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. Right by the shore the bottom may drop even faster than shown.
