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

The sea at Olderdalen
Sea state
The wave model doesn't reach Olderdalen: it's on inland water (an estuary, sound or sheltered bay) or far from the open sea. Wind is still available right here.
Wind on the coast and offshore
The model doesn't separate offshore wind here: it's the same as on the coast.
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.

Solunar periods
Today's activity: high- 12:27–2:27 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
Drops off fastThe bottom drops off fast: the water is 33 ft deep just 260 ft from shore. It reaches 164 ft at 850 ft.
From the shoreline (500 ft from Olderdalen) out to sea, heading southwest.
How far from shore
- 16 ft deep210 ft
- 33 ft deep260 ft
- 66 ft deep350 ft
- 164 ft deep850 ft
For fishing, swimming and diving
- Shore fishing. Deep water close in: about 58 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 260 ft and 66 ft at 350 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) 2.1 mi out. Right by the shore the bottom may drop even faster than shown.
