Semidiurnal: two high and two low tides a day, of similar height.

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

The sea at Råkvåg
Sea stateSea state: smooth
The waves you may find
- Most commonMost common0.3 ft
- Significant0.6 ft
- Highest expectedHighest1.2 ft
One wave in seven is higher than the significant height, and about 3 times a day one reaches 1.2 ft. Before heading out, expect waves of up to 1.2 ft.
Wind on the coast and offshore
Cross-offshore wind. The coast faces west and the wind comes off the land at an angle: calmer water near the shore, and bait and boats drift out to sea.
Wave height, next 7 daysWaves, next 7 days
Waves stay much the same all week. The biggest waves arrive on Thursday 29: 3.0 ft with a period of 4 s, from the west (slight).

Your diving day at a glance
The best window, 12:30 pm to 1:30 pm, combines slack water at high tide, little swell and the sun high, though with moderate wind and current. Also worth a look from 10:30 am to 11:30 am, with little swell, weak current and the sun high, though with tidal current and moderate 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.

Moon phase and position
Today the moon is 226,618 mi away and looks 32′ 45″ across.
Solunar periods
Today's activity: high- 1:43–3:43 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity
- 2:16–4:16 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 650 ft from shore. It reaches 164 ft at 0.7 mi.
From the shoreline (0.3 mi from Råkvåg) out to sea, heading west.
How far from shore
- 16 ft deep440 ft
- 33 ft deep650 ft
- 66 ft deep0.3 mi
- 164 ft deep0.7 mi
For fishing, swimming and diving
- Shore fishing. Deep water close in: about 9.8 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 650 ft and 66 ft at 0.3 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. The profile is turned slightly from the coast so it does not run into an island or a headland. Right by the shore the bottom may drop even faster than shown.
