Sea and waves

Your diving day at a glance

The best window, 12:30 pm to 2:00 pm, combines slack water at high tide and the sun high, though with fresh wind and current. Also worth a look from 7:50 am to 10:50 am, with little swell, weak current and the sun high, though with tidal current and fresh wind.

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.

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 fast

The bottom drops off fast: the water is 33 ft deep just 600 ft from shore. It reaches 164 ft at 0.4 mi.

From the shoreline (600 ft from Ottersbo) out to sea, heading southeast.

How far from shore

  • 16 ft deep460 ft
  • 33 ft deep600 ft
  • 66 ft deep900 ft
  • 164 ft deep0.4 mi

For fishing, swimming and diving

  • Shore fishing. 33 ft of water just 600 ft from shore: a good cast reaches deep water. 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 600 ft and 66 ft at 900 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) 3 mi out.
