↓ Falling The tide is falling. 4 h 36 min to low tide at 6:05 am.
Tide coefficient 95 for the 12:06 am high tide and 91 for the 12:27 pm high tide. Spring tides. The water rises and falls 4.2 ft between the highest high and the lowest low: a large 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 October 27 (5.8 ft) and the lowest, on April 17 (0.4 ft).
Semidiurnal: two high and two low tides a day, of similar height.

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

The sea at Årås
Sea stateSea state: moderate
The waves you may find
- Most commonMost common2.2 ft
- Significant4.4 ft
- Highest expectedHighest9.1 ft
One wave in seven is higher than the significant height, and about 3 times a day one reaches 9.1 ft. Before heading out, expect waves of up to 9.1 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: 4.5 ft with a period of 6 s, from the west-southwest (moderate).
Water temperature
Water temperature →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 52.9 °F by Wednesday 4.

Your diving day at a glance
The best window, 11:20 am to 1:40 pm, combines slack water at high tide, light wind, weak current and the sun high, though with some swell.
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- 2:05–4:05 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity
- 2:37–4:37 pm Major · the moon passes underfoot · high activity
- 1:40–2:40 pm Minor · moonset · medium activity
- 4:33–5:33 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 70 ft from shore. It reaches 164 ft at 0.35 mi.
From the shoreline (2 mi from Årås) out to sea, heading west.
How far from shore
- 16 ft deep40 ft
- 33 ft deep70 ft
- 66 ft deep140 ft
- 164 ft deep0.35 mi
For fishing, swimming and diving
- Shore fishing. Deep water close in: about 75 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 70 ft and 66 ft at 140 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. 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.
