Where this tide comes from

B · Nearby station

Rosendal has no station of its own, so we use the tide at Indre Matre (Kartverket), 8.2 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.

How we calculate the tide

Sea and waves

The sea at Rosendal

7-day waves

Sea stateSea state: smooth

Smooth Douglas 2 · light breeze, Beaufort 2
Waves 0.6 ft · 5.3 s from the west (267°)
Swell 0.6 ft · 4.2 s from the west
Current 0.5 mph toward the NNE

The waves you may find

  • Most commonMost common0.3 ft
  • Significant0.6 ft
  • Highest expectedHighest1.3 ft

One wave in seven is higher than the significant height, and about 3 times a day one reaches 1.3 ft. Before heading out, expect waves of up to 1.3 ft.

Wind on the coast and offshore

On the coast 2 mph SSE · gusts 8
Offshore (19 mi SSW)Offshore 5 mph S · gusts 10

Cross-offshore wind. The coast faces west and the wind comes off the land at an angle: calmer water near the shore, and bait and boats drift out to sea.

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 now51.4 °F
Today 51.3–51.4 °F air: 48 / 51 °F
Satellite (2 days ago) 54.1 °F measured 0.4 mi away

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 (+2.9 °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.

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
  • 2:00–4:00 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity
  • 2:32–4:32 pm Major · the moon passes underfoot · high activity
  • 1:17–2:17 pm Minor · moonset · medium activity
  • 4:47–5:47 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 450 ft from shore. It reaches 164 ft at 0.3 mi.

From the shoreline (1,000 ft from Rosendal) out to sea, heading west.

How far from shore

  • 16 ft deep360 ft
  • 33 ft deep450 ft
  • 66 ft deep700 ft
  • 164 ft deep0.3 mi

For fishing, swimming and diving

  • Shore fishing. Deep water close in: about 11 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 450 ft and 66 ft at 700 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) 1.7 mi out. Right by the shore the bottom may drop even faster than shown.
