The water rises and falls 4.5 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.

2026 extremes: the highest tide of the year is on October 27 (6.3 ft) and the lowest, on April 17 (0.4 ft).

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

Sea and waves

The sea at Kyrkjebø

Hourly wind

Sea state

The wave model doesn't reach Kyrkjebø: it's on inland water (an estuary, sound or sheltered bay) or far from the open sea. Wind is still available right here.

Wind on the coast and offshore

On the coast 7 mph WSW · gusts 23

The model doesn't separate offshore wind here: it's the same as on the coast.

Cross-shore wind. The coast faces south and the wind blows along the shore: drift and current run parallel to the beach.

Solunar periods

Today's activity: high
  • 2:01–4:01 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity
  • 2:33–4:33 pm Major · the moon passes underfoot · high activity
  • 1:47–2:47 pm Minor · moonset · medium activity
  • 4:18–5:18 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 fast

The bottom drops off fast: the water is 33 ft deep just 60 ft from shore. It reaches 164 ft at 230 ft.

From the shoreline out to sea, heading south.

How far from shore

  • 16 ft deep30 ft
  • 33 ft deep60 ft
  • 66 ft deep120 ft
  • 164 ft deep230 ft

For fishing, swimming and diving

  • Shore fishing. Deep water close in: about 267 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 60 ft and 66 ft at 120 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. There is land ahead (an island, a headland or the far shore) 2.2 mi out. Right by the shore the bottom may drop even faster than shown.
