What is the tide coefficient?
2026 extremes: the highest tide of the year is on October 11 (3.5 ft) and the lowest, on April 18 (0.8 ft).
Semidiurnal: two high and two low tides a day, of similar height.

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

The sea at Sandeid
Sea stateSea state: smooth
The waves you may find
- Most commonMost common0.4 ft
- Significant0.8 ft
- Highest expectedHighest1.6 ft
One wave in seven is higher than the significant height, and about 3 times a day one reaches 1.6 ft. Before heading out, expect waves of up to 1.6 ft.
Wind on the coast and offshore
Onshore wind. The coast faces south 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 Sunday 1: 1.0 ft with a period of 3 s, from the northwest (smooth).

Your diving day at a glance
The best window, 8:40 am to 9:50 am, combines little swell, light wind and weak current. Also good from 12:10 pm to 12:50 pm, with slack water at high tide, little swell, light wind, weak current and the sun high.
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 Sandeid
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
- 2:33–4:33 pm Major · the moon passes underfoot · high activity
- 1:09–2:09 pm Minor · moonset · medium activity
- 4:56–5:56 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.

Water depth
Drops off fastThe bottom drops off fast: the water is 33 ft deep just 600 ft from shore. It reaches 164 ft at 900 ft.
From the shoreline out to sea, heading south.
How far from shore
- 16 ft deep550 ft
- 33 ft deep600 ft
- 66 ft deep700 ft
- 164 ft deep900 ft
For fishing, swimming and diving
- Shore fishing. 33 ft of water just 600 ft from shore: a good cast reaches deep water. 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 600 ft and 66 ft at 700 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) 2.9 mi out.
