Bergen, Norway Daily Water Report — August 29, 2026
Today in Bergen, the harbor is beckoning for a leisurely paddle or a relaxed day of diving. Boaters and kayakers will find nearly ideal conditions with scores of 8.1/10 and 7.8/10, respectively. The water is calm, with wave heights hovering between 0.1 and 0.2 meters, and the marine surface temperature is a comfortable 15.8°C. Winds are gentle, coming from the east-northeast at around 5 knots, making for a smooth ride on the water. For those considering diving, the visibility is excellent, thanks to the full moon's influence and stable atmospheric pressure at 997 hPa. The diving score today is a robust 8/10, slightly better than yesterday's 7.6/10. The calm seas and clear skies should offer divers a tranquil underwater experience. Fishing enthusiasts might find the conditions moderate, with a score of 6/10. The solunar periods suggest the best fishing windows are from 01:10 to 03:10 and again from 13:10 to 15:10. While these aren't the highest scores we've seen this week, dedicated anglers might still land a catch during these prime windows. Surfers, however, will need to temper expectations. With a surfing score of 4.5/10, the waves are too gentle to offer much thrill. The swell is coming from the south-southwest at a modest 0.08 meters, not ideal for catching any serious rides. Looking ahead, the weather takes a cooler turn with increasing winds and a higher chance of rain by the end of the week. The best bet for the coming days? Take advantage of today's calm waters for boating or kayaking, as conditions are set to become more challenging as we move into September.
