Where this tide comes from
Tides from the Skjervøy station (Kartverket), 0.0 mi from Skjervøy. 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 Skjervøy
Sea stateSea state: smooth
The waves you may find
- Most commonMost common0.2 ft
- Significant0.4 ft
- Highest expectedHighest0.8 ft
One wave in seven is higher than the significant height, and about 3 times a day one reaches 0.8 ft. Before heading out, expect waves of up to 0.8 ft.
Wind on the coast and offshore
Offshore wind. The coast faces north and the wind blows from land out to sea: calm shore and clean waves, but watch the drift out to sea.
Wave height, next 7 daysWaves, next 7 days
Waves build over the next few days. The biggest waves arrive on Tuesday 3: 2.8 ft with a period of 8 s, from the north-northwest (slight).
Water temperature
Water temperature →The satellite measured 4.7 °F more 2 days ago than the model gives now: the water is probably warmer than the forecast says.
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.
Water about normal for late October.

Your diving day at a glance
The best window, 8:20 am to 10:00 am, combines slack water at low tide, little swell, light wind, weak current and the sun high. Also worth a look from 1:50 pm to 3:40 pm, with slack water at high 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.
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- 12:58–2:58 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity
- 1:30–3:30 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 80 ft from shore. It reaches 164 ft at 440 ft.
From the shoreline (2.1 mi from Skjervøy) out to sea, heading north.
How far from shore
- 16 ft deep40 ft
- 33 ft deep80 ft
- 66 ft deep160 ft
- 164 ft deep440 ft
For fishing, swimming and diving
- Shore fishing. Deep water close in: about 119 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 80 ft and 66 ft at 160 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. Right by the shore the bottom may drop even faster than shown.
