Tide coefficient 95 for the 12:12 am high tide and 91 for the 12:36 pm high tide. Spring tides. The water rises and falls 3.7 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 (5.0 ft) and the lowest, on April 18 (0.3 ft).
Semidiurnal: two high and two low tides a day, of similar height.

Where this tide comes from
Tides from the Skogsvågen station (Kartverket), 2.7 mi from Klokkarvik. Times and heights are its predictions. It is a NOAA subordinate station: its times and heights come from the Bergen reference station with the official corrections.

The sea at Klokkarvik
Sea stateSea state: moderate
The waves you may find
- Most commonMost common3.1 ft
- Significant6.2 ft
- Highest expectedHighest13 ft
One wave in seven is higher than the significant height, and about 3 times a day one reaches 13 ft. Before heading out, expect waves of up to 13 ft.
Wind on the coast and offshore
Offshore wind. The coast faces east 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 ease over the next few days. The biggest waves arrive on Thursday 29: 6.8 ft with a period of 8 s, from the west-southwest (moderate).

- Water at 54.1 °F: a 7 mm semi-dry suit, with hood, gloves and booties.
- Snorkeling: better not, with these waves, wind or current.

Your diving day at a glance
The best window, 11:40 am to 1:30 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- 2:04–4:04 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity
- 2:36–4:36 pm Major · the moon passes underfoot · high activity
- 1:26–2:26 pm Minor · moonset · medium activity
- 4:46–5:46 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 100 ft from shore. It reaches 164 ft at 1,050 ft.
From the shoreline (800 ft from Klokkarvik) out to sea, heading east.
How far from shore
- 16 ft deep50 ft
- 33 ft deep100 ft
- 66 ft deep220 ft
- 164 ft deep1,050 ft
For fishing, swimming and diving
- Shore fishing. Deep water close in: about 89 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 100 ft and 66 ft at 220 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.
