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 3.8 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.

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

Where this tide comes from

A · Official station

Tides from the Sandsli station (Kartverket), 2.5 mi from Nesttun. 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.

Sea and waves

The sea at Nesttun

7-day waves

Slight Douglas 3 · gentle breeze, Beaufort 3
Waves 2.3 ft · 5.6 s from the southwest (236°)

The waves you may find

  • Most commonMost common1.1 ft

  • Highest expectedHighest4.8 ft

One wave in seven is higher than the significant height, and about 3 times a day one reaches 4.8 ft. Before heading out, expect waves of up to 4.8 ft.

Wind on the coast and offshore

On the coast 5 mph SW · gusts 21
Offshore (22 mi S)Offshore 12 mph WSW · gusts 17

Cross-onshore wind. The coast faces northwest 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.

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.

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.

Solunar periods

Today's activity: high
  • 2:03–4:03 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity
  • 2:35–4:35 pm Major · the moon passes underfoot · high activity
  • 1:27–2:27 pm Minor · moonset · medium activity
  • 4:43–5:43 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.
