Your day at a glance

The best window, 3:30 pm to 4:10 pm, combines a major period, sunset and some swell, though with rising pressure and moderate wind.

Species with the most records nearby: Atlantic cod, whiting, European plaice and European flounder. October is one of the months when these are seen most: whiting and pollock. What you can catch

Tides

Tides in Bleket

Today's high and low tides

  • ▼ Low tide 11:38 am -0.2 ft
  • ▲ High tide 7:22 pm 0.6 ft

↑ Rising The tide is rising. 5 h 8 min to high tide at 6:03 am.

In Bleket the astronomical tide is very small: about 0.8 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 21 (0.8 ft) and the lowest, on April 26 (-1.0 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

Where this tide comes from

No significant tide

Tides from the Marstrand station (TICON-4), 4.3 mi from Bleket. Times and heights are its predictions.

Sea and waves

The sea at Bleket

7-day waves

Sea stateSea state: slight

Slight Douglas 3 · fresh breeze, Beaufort 5
Waves 3.7 ft · 5.4 s from the west-southwest (243°)
Swell 2.4 ft · 6.3 s from the west

The waves you may find

  • Most commonMost common1.9 ft
  • Significant3.7 ft
  • Highest expectedHighest7.7 ft

One wave in seven is higher than the significant height, and about 3 times a day one reaches 7.7 ft. Before heading out, expect waves of up to 7.7 ft.

Wind on the coast and offshore

On the coast 16 mph SW · gusts 30
Offshore (4.2 mi NW)Offshore 19 mph SW · gusts 30

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.

Today’s surf at a glance

The best window, 7:00 am to 11:00 am, has a good size, though with a short-period swell, wind swell and onshore wind.

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.

Your diving day at a glance

The best window, 9:00 am to 12:00 pm, combines weak current and the sun high, though with moderate wind.

In Bleket 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
  • 1:37–3:37 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity
  • 2:09–4:09 pm Major · the moon passes underfoot · high activity
  • 12:19–1:19 pm Minor · moonset · medium activity
  • 4:58–5:58 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 0.3 mi from shore.

From the shoreline (0.45 mi from Bleket) out to sea, heading southwest.

How far from shore

  • 16 ft deep110 ft
  • 33 ft deep0.3 mi
  • 66 ft deep0.7 mi
  • 164 ft deepnot within 1.4 mi

For fishing, swimming and diving

  • Shore fishing. Deep water close in: about 25 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 0.3 mi and 66 ft at 0.7 mi from shore.

There is land ahead (an island, a headland or the far shore) 1.4 mi out. The profile is turned slightly from the coast so it does not run into an island or a headland. Right by the shore the bottom may drop even faster than shown. Where the bottom comes up to the surface there are shoals, rocks or an islet next to the profile.
