The sea at Svortland
Sea stateSea state: moderate
The waves you may find
- Most commonMost common3.0 ft
- Significant5.9 ft
- Highest expectedHighest12 ft
One wave in seven is higher than the significant height, and about 3 times a day one reaches 12 ft. Before heading out, expect waves of up to 12 ft.
Wind on the coast and offshore
Onshore wind. The coast faces west and the wind blows straight in from the sea: more surf and backwash at the shore, and bait and boats drift toward land.
Wave height, next 7 daysWaves, next 7 days
Waves ease over the next few days. The biggest waves arrive on Thursday 29: 6.1 ft with a period of 8 s, from the west (moderate).
Water temperature

Surf in Svortland today
Surf today
Fair- 3.1–4.8 ft surf at the shore, a good size with some punch
- 4.0 ft swell at 9 s from the west-northwest, a bit short
- Light onshore wind (6 mph): a bit of chop
- Rising tide (high tide at 1:06 pm)
- Light: First light 7:09 am · sunrise 7:53 am · sunset 4:52 pm · last light 5:36 pm
- Tide: high 12:42 am (4.5 ft), low 6:34 am (1.3 ft), high 1:06 pm (4.4 ft) and low 6:56 pm (1.4 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 54.7 °F: a 5/4 fullsuit with booties (and a hood if it’s windy).
- Energy: 238 kJ · Medium power
Today’s surf at a glance
The best window, 8:00 am to 12:00 pm, has a good size. 1:00 pm to 5:00 pm can also work, with a good size, though with a short-period swell.
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 Svortland today
Diving and snorkeling today
Likely visibility: poor- Slack water around high tide (1:06 pm): little current from 12:51 pm to 1:21 pm
- 3.8 ft swell at 8 s from the northwest: some surge on the bottom
- Light onshore wind (8 mph)
- 0.8 mph current toward the southeast (model)
- Sun high: more light underwater
- Slack water today: high tide 12:42 am (12:27–12:57 am), low tide 6:34 am (6:19–6:50 am), high tide 1:06 pm (12:51–1:21 pm) and low tide 6:56 pm (6:30–7:11 pm)
- Likely visibility: poor. Swell (up to 6.8 ft at 8 s) and rain (0.44 in) over the last few days have stirred up the water. Based on the last 24 hours of data.
- Water at 54.7 °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 5:36 pm. Waning gibbous (85%), rising at 5:24 pm: a bright night.
Your diving day at a glance
The best window, 12:30 pm to 1:30 pm, combines slack water at high tide, light wind and the sun high, though with some swell 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- 2:04–4:04 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity
- 2:36–4:36 pm Major · the moon passes underfoot · high activity
- 1:17–2:17 pm Minor · moonset · medium activity
- 4:54–5:54 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.

For fishing, swimming and diving
- Shore fishing. Shallow, gradual bottom (16 ft at 750 ft): cast far from the beach and fish the high tide, when there is more water close in.
- Swimming. A very gentle way in with plenty of shallow water, good for kids. At low tide the water can be far out.
- Diving. Shallow: the water doesn't reach 33 ft within 0.5 mi. For deeper dives, take a boat farther out.
There is little open water ahead: in a cove or small bay, cells of about 380 ft cannot show the bottom well near the rocks. There is land ahead (an island, a headland or the far shore) 0.5 mi out. Where the bottom comes up to the surface there are shoals, rocks or an islet next to the profile.
