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

The sea at Namsos
Sea stateSea state: rough
The waves you may find
- Most commonMost common4.4 ft
- Significant8.8 ft
- Highest expectedHighest17 ft
One wave in seven is higher than the significant height, and about 3 times a day one reaches 17 ft. Before heading out, expect waves of up to 17 ft.
Wind on the coast and offshore
Onshore wind. The coast faces southwest and the wind blows straight in from the sea: more surf and backwash at the shore, and bait and boats drift toward land.
Wave height, next 7 daysWaves, next 7 days
Waves build over the next few days. The biggest waves arrive on Thursday 29: 10 ft with a period of 10 s, from the west (rough).

Your diving day at a glance
The best window, 11:50 am to 1:10 pm, combines slack water at high tide, light wind and the sun high, though with waves.
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 226,461 mi away and looks 32′ 47″ across.
Solunar periods
Today's activity: medium- 12:34–2:34 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity
- 1:05–3:05 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 40 ft from shore. It reaches 164 ft at 250 ft.
From the shoreline (1,000 ft from Namsos) out to sea, heading southwest.
How far from shore
- 16 ft deep20 ft
- 33 ft deep40 ft
- 66 ft deep90 ft
- 164 ft deep250 ft
For fishing, swimming and diving
- Shore fishing. Deep water close in: about 201 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 40 ft and 66 ft at 90 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) 1.8 mi out. Right by the shore the bottom may drop even faster than shown.
