Tide coefficient 94 for the 12:10 am high tide and 90 for the 12:29 pm high tide. Spring tides. The water rises and falls 4.9 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 (6.7 ft) and the lowest, on July 17 (0.4 ft).
Semidiurnal: two high and two low tides a day, of similar height.

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

The sea at Kalvåg
Sea stateSea state: rough
The waves you may find
- Most commonMost common5.0 ft
- Significant9.9 ft
- Highest expectedHighest20 ft
One wave in seven is higher than the significant height, and about 3 times a day one reaches 20 ft. Before heading out, expect waves of up to 20 ft.
Wind on the coast and offshore
The model doesn't separate offshore wind here: it's the same as on the coast.
Cross-onshore wind. The coast faces west and the wind comes in from the sea at an angle: a bit more surf at the shore and drift along the coast, toward land.
Wave height, next 7 daysWaves, next 7 days
Waves ease over the next few days. The biggest waves arrive on Thursday 29: 10 ft with a period of 10 s, from the west (rough).
Water temperature
Water temperature →Water temperature changes how fish behave: in very cold or very warm water they feed less. The water is steady these days, with no sudden changes.

Surf in Kalvåg today
Surf today
Poor- 5.2–7.9 ft surf at the shore, a good size with some punch
- Big surf (7.9 ft): for experienced surfers
- 7.2 ft swell at 8 s from the west, short: weak, messy waves
- Moderate onshore wind (12 mph): a bit of chop
- Falling tide (low tide at 6:45 pm)
Big surf: for experienced surfers only. If in doubt, stay on the beach.
- Light: First light 7:15 am · sunrise 8:02 am · sunset 4:45 pm · last light 5:33 pm
- Tide: high 12:10 am (6.6 ft), low 6:21 am (1.7 ft), high 12:29 pm (6.5 ft) and low 6:45 pm (1.7 ft). Every break has its own tide: some work at low tide and others at high tide. The tide doesn’t change the score here.
- Water at 53.8 °F: a 5/4 fullsuit with booties (and a hood if it’s windy).
- Energy: 579 kJ · High power
Today’s surf at a glance
The best window, 2:00 pm to 5:33 pm, has a good size, though with big surf, a short-period swell and onshore wind.
An estimate for this stretch of coast, not for a specific break: every beach or reef works its own way (its tide, bottom and angle). Check it when you get there.
Follow the flags and the lifeguards, and don’t paddle out if the surf is above your level: this score is a guide, not a substitute for what you see when you get there.
Diving in Kalvåg today
Diving and snorkeling today
Likely visibility: poor- Slack water around high tide (12:29 pm): little current from 12:00 pm to 1:00 pm
- 7.5 ft swell at 8 s from the west-northwest: strong surge on the bottom
- Moderate onshore wind (16 mph)
- 0.8 mph current toward the east-southeast (model)
- Sun high: more light underwater
Not a day for shore diving: swell, wind, current or storms during the best window. If you go, go with a dive shop and only if they give the OK.
- Slack water today: high tide 12:10 am (11:40 pm–12:40 am), low tide 6:21 am (5:50–6:50 am), high tide 12:29 pm (12:00–1:00 pm) and low tide 6:45 pm (6:20–7:20 pm)
- Likely visibility: poor. Swell (up to 10.0 ft at 10 s), rain (1.12 in) and wind over the last few days have stirred up the water. Based on the last 24 hours of data.
- Water at 53.8 °F: a 7 mm semi-dry suit, with hood, gloves and booties.
- Snorkeling: better not, with these waves, wind or current.
- Night dive: dark from 5:33 pm. Waning gibbous (85%), rising at 4:31 pm: a bright night.
Your diving day at a glance
The best window, 11:30 am to 1:40 pm, combines slack water at high tide and the sun high, though with a big swell, moderate wind 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- 2:05–4:05 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity
- 2:37–4:37 pm Major · the moon passes underfoot · high activity
- 2:13–3:13 pm Minor · moonset · medium activity
- 4:01–5:01 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 550 ft from shore. It reaches 164 ft at 1.3 mi.
From the shoreline (0.8 mi from Kalvåg) out to sea, heading west.
How far from shore
- 16 ft deep370 ft
- 33 ft deep550 ft
- 66 ft deep1,000 ft
- 164 ft deep1.3 mi
For fishing, swimming and diving
- Shore fishing. Deep water close in: about 12 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 550 ft and 66 ft at 1,000 ft from shore.
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.
