High water at Vangshylla

When the moon is full and there is a storm coming to the west coast of Norway, the tides can be higher than normal. This is the situation at the moment (Sunday, at 11:30 am).

With the wind and the high tide, it isn’t safe to walk out on the molo today.
Not much clearance and the waves are breaking over the molo.

On Monday, the expected high water level is 381 cm at Trondheim and on Tuesday it is expected to be 398 cm.

At Vangshylla, the high water level on Monday is expected to be 393 cm and on Tuesday at 412 cm. It is going to be interesting to follow up the next two days when the highest tides are in the middle of the day.
