The waves you may find
- Most commonMost common3.1 ft
- Significant6.3 ft
- Highest expectedHighest12 ft
One wave in seven is higher than the significant height, and about 3 times a day one reaches 12 ft. Before heading out, expect waves of up to 12 ft.
Wind on the coast and offshore
Cross-onshore wind. The coast faces southeast 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 build over the next few days. The biggest waves arrive on Monday 2: 8.4 ft with a period of 8 s, from the west (rough).

Today the moon is 226,461 mi away and looks 32′ 47″ across.
Solunar periods
Today's activity: high- 12:03–2:03 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity
- 12:34–2:34 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 250 ft from shore.
From the shoreline (1,050 ft from Tromsø) out to sea, heading southeast.
How far from shore
- 16 ft deep180 ft
- 33 ft deep250 ft
- 66 ft deep600 ft
- 164 ft deepnot within 0.45 mi
For fishing, swimming and diving
- Shore fishing. Deep water close in: about 51 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 250 ft and 66 ft at 600 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) 0.45 mi out. Right by the shore the bottom may drop even faster than shown.
