Where this tide comes from
Tides from the Hestvika station (Kartverket), 0.0 mi from Hestvika. 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.

Waves build over the next few days. The biggest waves arrive on Thursday 29: 2.0 ft with a period of 3 s, from the west (slight).

Your diving day at a glance
The best window, 11:40 am to 1:20 pm, combines slack water at high tide, little swell, light wind and the sun high, though with current. Also worth a look from 2:30 pm to 3:10 pm, with little swell, light wind, weak current and the sun high, though with tidal 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.

Moon phase and position
Today the moon is 226,461 mi away and looks 32′ 47″ across.
Solunar periods
Today's activity: medium- 12:43–2:43 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity
- 1:15–3:15 pm Major · the moon passes underfoot · high activity
- 1:13–2:13 pm Minor · moonset · medium activity
- 2:08–3:08 pm Minor · moonrise · medium 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 50 ft from shore. It reaches 164 ft at 250 ft.
From the shoreline (0.8 mi from Hestvika) out to sea, heading north.
How far from shore
- 16 ft deep20 ft
- 33 ft deep50 ft
- 66 ft deep100 ft
- 164 ft deep250 ft
For fishing, swimming and diving
- Shore fishing. Deep water close in: about 210 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 50 ft and 66 ft at 100 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.
