The best window, 2:40 pm to 3:40 pm, combines a major period, moonset, moonrise and sunset, though with rising pressure. Also worth a try from 1:10 am to 3:10 am, with a major period, a light onshore breeze and some swell, though with rising pressure.

Today's high and low tides

  • ▼ Low tide 9:37 pm 0.1 ft

↑ Rising The tide is rising. 12 h 30 min to high tide at 1:02 pm.

In Ankarsvik the astronomical tide is very small: about 0.1 ft between high and low tide. Here the sea level is moved mostly by wind and air pressure (storm surge), which can raise or lower it more than the tide itself.

2026 extremes: the highest tide of the year is on August 24 (0.3 ft) and the lowest, on April 20 (-0.6 ft).

Heights above mean sea level. Astronomical prediction: wind and air pressure can raise or lower the water by a few inches, and more in a storm. Not for navigation. mean sea level

One wave in seven is higher than the significant height, and about 3 times a day one reaches 4.1 ft. Before heading out, expect waves of up to 4.1 ft.

Cross-onshore wind. The coast faces southwest 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, 8:30 am to 11:30 am, combines small waves, light wind, weak current and the sun high.

In Ankarsvik the tide barely moves the water, so there's no slack to wait for: swell, wind and current are what count.

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
  • 1:12–3:12 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity
  • 1:45–3:45 pm Major · the moon passes underfoot · high activity
  • 2:06–3:06 pm Minor · moonset · medium activity
  • 2:23–3:23 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

Deepens quickly

The bottom deepens quickly: 33 ft of water 1,050 ft from shore. It reaches 164 ft at 1.5 mi.

From the shoreline (900 ft from Ankarsvik) out to sea, heading south.

How far from shore

  • 16 ft deep750 ft
  • 33 ft deep1,050 ft
  • 66 ft deep0.3 mi
  • 164 ft deep1.5 mi

For fishing, swimming and diving

  • Shore fishing. 33 ft of water just 1,050 ft from shore: a good cast reaches deep water. Current and surf hit harder here.
  • Swimming. The water gets deeper little by little, but a few dozen yards out you can no longer stand.
  • Diving. Shore diving works here: 33 ft at 1,050 ft and 66 ft at 0.3 mi 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) 3 mi out. The profile is turned slightly from the coast so it does not run into an island or a headland.
