2026 extremes: the highest tide of the year is on October 11 (3.7 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
Vigrestad has no station of its own, so we use the tide at Sviland (Kartverket), 19 mi away. On the open coast the difference is usually a few minutes and inches; inside estuaries, rivers and enclosed bays it can be much larger.

The sea at Vigrestad
Sea stateSea state: moderate
The waves you may find
- Most commonMost common3.3 ft
- Significant6.6 ft
- Highest expectedHighest13 ft
One wave in seven is higher than the significant height, and about 3 times a day one reaches 13 ft. Before heading out, expect waves of up to 13 ft.
Wind on the coast and offshore
Cross-onshore wind. The coast faces southwest 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: 7.9 ft with a period of 8 s, from the west-southwest (moderate).
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.

Surf in Vigrestad today
Surf today
Fair- 3.1–4.7 ft surf at the shore, a good size with some punch
- 4.9 ft swell at 8 s from the west-northwest, a bit short
- Moderate cross-shore wind (13 mph): a bit of chop
- Falling tide (low tide at 6:18 pm)
- Light: First light 7:04 am · sunrise 7:46 am · sunset 4:55 pm · last light 5:37 pm
- Tide: high 12:01 am (3.6 ft), low 6:00 am (1.6 ft), high 12:23 pm (3.6 ft) and low 6:18 pm (1.7 ft). Every break has its own tide: some work at low tide and others at high tide. The tide doesn’t change the score here.
- Water at 54.3 °F: a 5/4 fullsuit with booties (and a hood if it’s windy).
- Energy: 276 kJ · Medium power
Today’s surf at a glance
The best window, 2:00 pm to 5:37 pm, has a good size, though with cross-shore wind.
An estimate for this stretch of coast, not for a specific break: every beach or reef works its own way (its tide, bottom and angle). Check it when you get there.
Follow the flags and the lifeguards, and don’t paddle out if the surf is above your level: this score is a guide, not a substitute for what you see when you get there.
Diving in Vigrestad today
Diving and snorkeling today
Likely visibility: poor- Slack water around high tide (12:23 pm): little current from 12:08 pm to 12:38 pm
- 4.9 ft swell at 8 s from the west-northwest: strong surge on the bottom
- Light onshore wind (10 mph)
- 0.4 mph current toward the northwest, 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 9.3 ft at 8 s) and rain (0.37 in) over the last few days have stirred up the water. Based on the last 24 hours of data.
- Water at 54.3 °F: a 7 mm semi-dry suit, with hood, gloves and booties.
- Snorkeling: better not, with these waves, wind or current.
- Night dive: dark from 5:37 pm. Waning gibbous (85%), rising at 5:44 pm: a bright night.
Your diving day at a glance
The best window, 12:00 pm to 12:40 pm, combines slack water at high tide, light wind, weak current and the sun high, though with some swell. Also worth a look from 8:30 am to 9:50 am, with light wind, though with some swell and current. Also worth a look from 2:40 pm to 3:50 pm, with weak current and the sun high, though with some swell and moderate wind.
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.

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
- 12:53–1:53 pm Minor · moonset · medium activity
- 5:14–6:14 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.

For fishing, swimming and diving
- Shore fishing. Shallow, gradual bottom (16 ft at 1,150 ft): cast far from the beach and fish the high tide, when there is more water close in.
- Swimming. A very gentle way in with plenty of shallow water, good for kids. At low tide the water can be far out.
- Diving. Shore diving works here: 33 ft at 0.35 mi and 66 ft at 0.55 mi from shore.
