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

The sea at Ågotnes
Sea stateSea state: moderate
The waves you may find
- Most commonMost common3.8 ft
- Significant7.7 ft
- Highest expectedHighest15 ft
One wave in seven is higher than the significant height, and about 3 times a day one reaches 15 ft. Before heading out, expect waves of up to 15 ft.
Wind on the coast and offshore
Onshore wind. The coast faces west 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 Thursday 29: 8.0 ft with a period of 9 s, from the west-southwest (moderate).
Water temperature

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 a big swell and 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 226,618 mi away and looks 32′ 45″ across.
Solunar periods
Today's activity: high- 2:04–4:04 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity
- 2:37–4:37 pm Major · the moon passes underfoot · high activity
- 1:30–2:30 pm Minor · moonset · medium activity
- 4:42–5:42 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 140 ft from shore. It reaches 164 ft at 0.5 mi.
From the shoreline (1.7 mi from Ågotnes) out to sea, heading southwest.
How far from shore
- 16 ft deep70 ft
- 33 ft deep140 ft
- 66 ft deep0.35 mi
- 164 ft deep0.5 mi
For fishing, swimming and diving
- Shore fishing. Deep water close in: about 47 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 140 ft and 66 ft at 0.35 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. Where the bottom comes up to the surface there are shoals, rocks or an islet next to the profile.
