Your day at a glance

The best window, 4:10 pm to 5:10 pm, combines moonrise, sunset and a light onshore breeze, though with rising pressure. Also worth a try from 1:00 pm to 3:00 pm, with a major period, a light onshore breeze and some swell, though with rising pressure. Also worth a try from 12:30 am to 2:30 am, with a major period, a light onshore breeze and some swell, though with rising pressure.

Species with the most records nearby: whiting, Atlantic cod, 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 Vrångö

Today's high and low tides

  • ▲ High tide 3:55 am 0.4 ft
  • ▼ Low tide 10:43 am -0.1 ft
  • ▲ High tide 7:13 pm 0.6 ft
  • ▼ Low tide 11:18 pm 0.0 ft

↑ Rising The tide is rising. 7 h 18 min to high tide at 7:14 am.

In Vrångö the astronomical tide is very small: about 0.7 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 December 6 (0.7 ft) and the lowest, on April 26 (-0.9 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 Vinga station (TICON-4), 7.7 mi from Vrångö. Times and heights are its predictions.

How we calculate the tide

Sea and waves

The sea at Vrångö

7-day waves

Sea stateSea state: slight

Slight Douglas 3 · fresh breeze, Beaufort 5
Waves 2.0 ft · 3.2 s from the southwest (215°)
Swell 0.3 ft · 3.4 s from the south-southeast
Current 0.8 mph toward the N

The waves you may find

  • Most commonMost common1.0 ft
  • Significant2.0 ft
  • Highest expectedHighest4.3 ft

One wave in seven is higher than the significant height, and about 3 times a day one reaches 4.3 ft. Before heading out, expect waves of up to 4.3 ft.

Wind on the coast and offshore

On the coast 13 mph SSW · gusts 24
Offshore (5.2 mi SSW)Offshore 19 mph SW · gusts 28

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.

Waves stay much the same all week. The biggest waves arrive on Wednesday 28: 2.7 ft with a period of 4 s, from the south-southwest (slight).

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 50.8 °F by Tuesday 3.

Water warmer than normal for late October (+1.9 °F).

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

Your diving day at a glance

The best window, 9:30 am to 12:30 pm, combines little swell, light wind, weak current and the sun high. Also worth a look from 6:40 am to 8:00 am, with little swell, light wind and weak current, though with low light.

In Vrångö 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
  • 12:33–2:33 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity
  • 1:04–3:04 pm Major · the moon passes underfoot · high activity
  • 10:47–11:47 am Minor · moonset · medium activity
  • 4:14–5:14 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

Gentle slope

The bottom slopes gently: 16 ft deep 750 ft from shore and 33 ft at 0.55 mi.

From the shoreline (0.3 mi from Vrångö) out to sea, heading southwest.

How far from shore

  • 16 ft deep750 ft
  • 33 ft deep0.55 mi
  • 66 ft deep1.8 mi
  • 164 ft deepnot within 3.1 mi

For fishing, swimming and diving

  • Shore fishing. About 9.2 ft of water 330 ft out: long casts help, and so does a rising tide, which brings fish closer in.
  • Swimming. The water gets deeper little by little, but a few dozen yards out you can no longer stand.
  • Diving. 33 ft deep 0.55 mi from shore; 66 ft is far out (1.8 mi): for deeper dives, go by boat.
