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

The sea at Brekstad
Sea stateSea state: slight
The waves you may find
- Most commonMost common1.1 ft
- Significant2.3 ft
- Highest expectedHighest4.8 ft
One wave in seven is higher than the significant height, and about 3 times a day one reaches 4.8 ft. Before heading out, expect waves of up to 4.8 ft.
Wind on the coast and offshore
Cross-shore wind. The coast faces southeast and the wind blows along the shore: drift and current run parallel to the beach.
Wave height, next 7 daysWaves, next 7 days
Waves stay much the same all week. The biggest waves arrive on Thursday 29: 6.3 ft with a period of 6 s, from the west (moderate).

Your diving day at a glance
The best window, 12:30 pm to 1:50 pm, combines slack water at high tide and the sun high, though with waves, fresh wind and current.
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.

Solunar periods
Today's activity: high- 1:45–3:45 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity
- 2:17–4:17 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 0.3 mi from shore. It reaches 164 ft at 0.6 mi.
From the shoreline out to sea, heading southeast.
How far from shore
- 16 ft deep0.25 mi
- 33 ft deep0.3 mi
- 66 ft deep0.4 mi
- 164 ft deep0.6 mi
For fishing, swimming and diving
- Shore fishing. 33 ft of water just 0.3 mi from shore: a good cast reaches deep water. Current and surf hit harder here.
- Swimming. The water gets deeper little by little, but a few dozen yards out you can no longer stand.
- Diving. Shore diving works here: 33 ft at 0.3 mi and 66 ft at 0.4 mi 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.
