Seasonal calendar

Winter (Dec–Feb)

~6h daylight

Short days and cold, but more sheltered than the coast further north. Good cod fishing in the Trondheim Fjord. Some snow and ice in inner fjord areas.

Spring (Mar–May)

~15h daylight

Days get longer quickly. Saithe arrives along the coast, and pollack fishing picks up in the fjords. Variable weather with sunshine and rain showers.

Summer (Jun–Aug)

~20h daylight

Long, bright days and normally higher sea temperatures. Sea and weather can still change quickly; family suitability depends on boat, equipment and conditions.

Autumn (Sep–Nov)

~9h daylight

Cooler weather and more wind. Haddock and cod fishing remain good through autumn. More rainy and windy days, but still fishable in sheltered fjords.
