- ▼ Low tide 11:16 am 1.6 ft
- ▲ High tide 6:10 pm 2.6 ft · coef. 69

↓ Falling The tide is falling. 6 min to low tide at 11:53 pm.
Tide coefficient 69 for the 5:46 am high tide and 69 for the 6:10 pm high tide. Low coefficient. The water rises and falls 1.0 ft between the highest high and the lowest low: an average range for this place. 70 is an average tide here; 90 and above means spring tides; below 45, neap tides. What is the tide coefficient?
2026 extremes: the highest tide of the year is on August 22 (2.8 ft) and the lowest, on March 29 (0.8 ft).
Semidiurnal: two high and two low tides a day, of similar height.
Heights above chart datum (CD), the zero of that port's nautical charts. Astronomical prediction: wind and air pressure can raise or lower the water by a few inches, and more in a storm. Not for navigation. chart datum (CD)
Tide coefficient and range in October
The biggest tides of the month came from October 6 to 7 (coefficient 89, 1.3 ft range). The smallest, from October 14 to 15 (coefficient 47, 0.7 ft).

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

The sea at Selvik
Sea stateSea state: smooth
The waves you may find
- Most commonMost common0.5 ft
- Significant0.9 ft
- Highest expectedHighest1.9 ft
One wave in seven is higher than the significant height, and about 3 times a day one reaches 1.9 ft. Before heading out, expect waves of up to 1.9 ft.
Wind on the coast and offshore
Onshore wind. The coast faces south 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 ease over the next few days. The biggest waves arrive on Wednesday 28: 1.8 ft with a period of 3 s, from the south-southwest (slight).
Water temperature
Water temperature →The satellite measured 2.7 °F more yesterday than the model gives now: the water is probably warmer than the forecast says.
Water temperature changes how fish behave: in very cold or very warm water they feed less. The water cools over the next few days: about 47.8 °F by Tuesday 3.
Water warmer than normal for late October (+1.4 °F).

Your diving day at a glance
The best window, 9:50 am to 11:50 am, combines slack water at low tide, small waves, light wind, weak current and the sun high. Also good from 2:40 pm to 4:30 pm, with small waves, light wind and weak 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.

Moon phase and position
Today the moon is 226,461 mi away and looks 32′ 47″ across.
Solunar periods
Today's activity: high- 12:39–2:39 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity
- 1:10–3:10 pm Major · the moon passes underfoot · high activity
- 11:20 am–12:20 pm Minor · moonset · medium activity
- 3:54–4:54 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 500 ft from shore. It reaches 164 ft at 0.7 mi.
From the shoreline (0.4 mi from Selvik) out to sea, heading south.
How far from shore
- 16 ft deep430 ft
- 33 ft deep500 ft
- 66 ft deep700 ft
- 164 ft deep0.7 mi
For fishing, swimming and diving
- Shore fishing. 33 ft of water just 500 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 500 ft and 66 ft at 700 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. 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.
