The sea at Gryllefjord
Sea stateSea state: slight
The waves you may find
- Most commonMost common1.5 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
The model doesn't separate offshore wind here: it's the same as on the coast.
Cross-offshore wind. The coast faces northwest 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 build over the next few days. The biggest waves arrive on Monday 2: 6.7 ft with a period of 8 s, from the west-northwest (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 Gryllefjord today
Surf today
Poor- 1.1–1.7 ft surf at the shore, small: good for learning or a longboard
- 1.0 ft swell at 9 s from the west, a bit short
- Moderate offshore wind (17 mph): it holds up and grooms the waves
- Falling tide (low tide at 8:05 pm)
- Light: First light 6:49 am · sunrise 7:57 am · sunset 3:13 pm · last light 4:21 pm
- Tide: high 1:28 am (7.9 ft), low 7:43 am (1.5 ft), high 1:51 pm (7.9 ft) and low 8:05 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 48.4 °F: a 6/5 hooded fullsuit with booties and gloves.
- Energy: 19 kJ · Low power
Today’s surf at a glance
The best window, 1:00 pm to 4:00 pm, has light offshore wind, though with small waves. 8:00 am to 12:00 pm can also work, with light offshore wind, though with small waves.
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.

Likely visibility: good- Slack water around high tide (1:51 pm): little current from 1:30 pm to 2:10 pm

Your diving day at a glance
The best window, 1:30 pm to 2:20 pm, combines slack water at high tide, little swell, weak current and the sun high, though with moderate wind. Also worth a look from 7:00 am to 9:20 am, with slack water at low tide, little swell, light wind and weak current, though with low light.
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 226,461 mi away and looks 32′ 47″ across.
Solunar periods
Today's activity: medium- 12:11–2:11 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity
- 12:42–2:42 pm Major · the moon passes underfoot · high 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
Deepens quicklyThe bottom deepens quickly: 33 ft of water 1,100 ft from shore. It reaches 164 ft at 0.55 mi.
From the shoreline out to sea, heading west.
How far from shore
- 16 ft deep100 ft
- 33 ft deep1,100 ft
- 66 ft deep0.4 mi
- 164 ft deep0.55 mi
For fishing, swimming and diving
- Shore fishing. Deep water close in: about 29 ft just 330 ft out. Good for casting from rocks, jetties or the beach itself; 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 1,100 ft and 66 ft at 0.4 mi from shore.
There is land ahead (an island, a headland or the far shore) 1.1 mi out. The profile is turned slightly from the coast so it does not run into an island or a headland. Right by the shore the bottom may drop even faster than shown.
