Fishing barometer

1005 hPa → Stable
  • Rising Very good Rising pressure after a low signals settling weather — fish feed confidently and this is often the best barometer window of all.
  • Stable Normal activity — today A steady barometer for a day or more means settled conditions and predictable, average feeding around tides and solunar peaks.
  • Falling Good at first A dropping barometer sparks a burst of feeding before the weather turns, then activity slows markedly as the front arrives.
min 1005 hPa max 1006 hPa Hover, tap or arrow-key the line to read any hour.

The barometer is holding steady. Expect routine feeding behaviour, with the usual peaks around tide changes and the solunar periods rather than any pressure-driven surge.

The sea surface holds around 11.9° today, moving between 11.7° and 11.9°. Water temperature sets the pace of fish metabolism, so even a small shift can change where fish hold and how actively they feed.

Very high High Average Low

A larger coefficient means a wider gap between high and low water, so the strongest currents run along the sea bed. Tidal range also shifts with the weather — check the wind and swell before you head out.

Best fishing times today

Slow

Solunar theory rates today a slow day for fishing at Lakselv — plan around the major and minor periods below.

Major Peak activity

04:54 – 06:54

Moon overhead (lunar transit)

Overlaps sunrise or sunset
Major Peak activity

17:25 – 19:25

Moon underfoot (opposing transit)

Overlaps sunrise or sunset
Major period Minor period Daylight

Major periods track the moon's transit and opposing transit and run about two hours; minor periods open at moonrise and moonset and last about an hour. When a period lands on sunrise or sunset, activity climbs higher still — and that overlap happens today.

Frequently asked questions

Tides, coefficients and fishing times for Lakselv, explained.

What time is high tide in Lakselv today?

High water at Lakselv today is at 08:20 and 21:10. The full list of high and low tide times is in the table above and refreshes every day.

Is today a good day to fish in Lakselv?

Based on solunar theory the fishing rating today is Slow. The strongest windows are the major periods around the lunar transit, which often line up with sunrise and sunset.

What is the tidal coefficient and why does it matter?

The coefficient runs from 0 to 120 and measures the tidal range — today it is 31 (Low). Higher numbers mean stronger currents and a bigger gap between high and low water, which matters for fishing, diving and boating.

When are sunrise and sunset in Lakselv today?

The sun rises at 04:47 and sets at 19:48 local time, giving 15h 01m of daylight.

What is the water temperature in Lakselv today?

The sea surface at Lakselv is around 11.9°C right now. Water temperature sets the pace of fish metabolism, so the hourly strip above is worth a glance — even a small shift can change where fish hold and how actively they feed.
