Tide coefficient 97 for the 12:42 am high tide and 92 for the 1:06 pm high tide. Spring tides. The water rises and falls 3.3 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 (4.7 ft) and the lowest, on April 18 (0.2 ft).
Semidiurnal: two high and two low tides a day, of similar height.

Where this tide comes from
Dimmelsvik has no station of its own, so we use the tide at Indre Matre (Kartverket), 6.0 mi away. On the open coast the difference is usually a few minutes and inches; inside estuaries, rivers and enclosed bays it can be much larger.

The sea at Dimmelsvik
Sea stateSea state: smooth
The waves you may find
- Most commonMost common0.3 ft
- Significant0.7 ft
- Highest expectedHighest1.4 ft
One wave in seven is higher than the significant height, and about 3 times a day one reaches 1.4 ft. Before heading out, expect waves of up to 1.4 ft.
Wind on the coast and offshore
Offshore wind. The coast faces northwest and the wind blows from land out to sea: calm shore and clean waves, but watch the 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: 0.7 ft with a period of 5 s, from the west (smooth).
Water temperature
Water temperature →The satellite measured 2.7 °F more 2 days ago 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 49.0 °F by Wednesday 4.
Water warmer than normal for late October (+2.7 °F).

Your diving day at a glance
The best window, 12:30 pm to 1:30 pm, combines slack water at high tide, little swell, light wind, weak current and the sun high. Also worth a look from 9:40 am to 11:30 am, with little swell, light wind, weak current and the sun high, though with tidal 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.

Moon phase and position
Today the moon is 226,618 mi away and looks 32′ 45″ across.
Solunar periods
Today's activity: high- 2:00–4:00 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity
- 2:33–4:33 pm Major · the moon passes underfoot · high activity
- 1:17–2:17 pm Minor · moonset · medium activity
- 4:48–5:48 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 190 ft from shore. It reaches 164 ft at 410 ft.
From the shoreline (0.45 mi from Dimmelsvik) out to sea, heading north.
How far from shore
- 16 ft deep140 ft
- 33 ft deep190 ft
- 66 ft deep250 ft
- 164 ft deep410 ft
For fishing, swimming and diving
- Shore fishing. Deep water close in: about 105 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 190 ft and 66 ft at 250 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.
