<p>The land around <a href="ssr:727673" data-county="Rogaland" data-lat="59.23902" data-lng="5.34657" data-municipality="Karmøy" data-type="Sund i sjø">Karmsundet</a> – the waters between <a href="ssr:548417" data-county="Rogaland" data-lat="59.14995" data-lng="5.25711" data-municipality="Karmøy" data-type="By">Skudeneshavn</a> and <a href="ssr:851640" data-county="Rogaland" data-lat="59.41378" data-lng="5.26803" data-municipality="Haugesund" data-type="By">Haugesund</a> – is relatively low and rugged with continuous buildings on the Karmøy side, more scattered on the E side.</p>
<p>The current in <a href="ssr:545762" data-county="Rogaland" data-lat="59.35136" data-lng="5.31358" data-municipality="Karmøy" data-type="Sund i sjø">Karmsundet</a> is mostly influenced by the wind. Tidal currents are weak except in narrow and shallow straits such as <a href="ssr:123632" data-county="Rogaland" data-lat="59.37764" data-lng="5.29379" data-municipality="Karmøy" data-type="Sund i sjø">Salhusstraumen</a> and in <a href="ssr:632761" data-county="Rogaland" data-lat="59.41645" data-lng="5.25073" data-municipality="Haugesund" data-type="Sund i sjø">Vibrandsøysundet</a>. They are strongest N-ward at low tide and strongest southward at high tide. During strong and prolonged northerly winds, the current can go southward around the clock, similarly to how it can go northward all day during strong southerly winds.</p>
<p>S of <a href="ssr:486003" data-county="Rogaland" data-lat="59.39385" data-lng="5.25323" data-municipality="Karmøy" data-type="Øy i sjø">Karmøy</a>, the current is noticed to set strongly eastward with increasing westwinds and into <a href="ssr:727673" data-county="Rogaland" data-lat="59.23902" data-lng="5.34657" data-municipality="Karmøy" data-type="Sund i sjø">Karmsundet</a>. At the mouth of <a href="ssr:727673" data-county="Rogaland" data-lat="59.23902" data-lng="5.34657" data-municipality="Karmøy" data-type="Sund i sjø">Karmsundet</a>, there can then be choppy and uncomfortable current waves. In the narrowest part of <a href="ssr:545762" data-county="Rogaland" data-lat="59.35136" data-lng="5.31358" data-municipality="Karmøy" data-type="Sund i sjø">Karmsundet</a>, at <a href="ssr:874416" data-county="Rogaland" data-lat="59.37572" data-lng="5.29367" data-municipality="Karmøy" data-type="Fyrlykt">Salhus light</a>, the tidal current can become significant. In the mouth of <a href="ssr:727673" data-county="Rogaland" data-lat="59.23902" data-lng="5.34657" data-municipality="Karmøy" data-type="Sund i sjø">Karmsundet</a>, there can then be choppy and uncomfortable current waves. In the narrowest part of Karmsundet, at Salhus, the tidal current can become significant.</p>
<p>Smaller vessels anchor at different places among the islets S of <a href="ssr:790073" data-county="Rogaland" data-lat="59.194" data-lng="5.42203" data-municipality="Bokn" data-type="Øy i sjø">Vestre Bokn</a>, where the current is quite variable. The waters are impure and a bit difficult to navigate. The islets and skerries are monotonous and gray, blending into the land.</p>

<p>Landet rundt <a href="ssr:727673" data-county="Rogaland" data-lat="59.23902" data-lng="5.34657" data-municipality="Karmøy" data-type="Sund i sjø">Karmsundet</a> – farvannet mellom <a href="ssr:548417" data-county="Rogaland" data-lat="59.14995" data-lng="5.25711" data-municipality="Karmøy" data-type="By">Skudeneshavn</a> og <a href="ssr:851640" data-county="Rogaland" data-lat="59.41378" data-lng="5.26803" data-municipality="Haugesund" data-type="By">Haugesund</a> - er forholdsvis lavt og kupert med jevn bebyggelse på Karmøysiden, mer spredt på E-siden.</p>
<p>Strømmen i <a href="ssr:545762" data-county="Rogaland" data-lat="59.35136" data-lng="5.31358" data-municipality="Karmøy" data-type="Sund i sjø">Karmsundet</a> er mest influert av vinden. Tidevannsstrømmene er svake bortsett fra i smale og grunne sund som <a href="ssr:123632" data-county="Rogaland" data-lat="59.37764" data-lng="5.29379" data-municipality="Karmøy" data-type="Sund i sjø">Salhusstraumen</a> og i <a href="ssr:632761" data-county="Rogaland" data-lat="59.41645" data-lng="5.25073" data-municipality="Haugesund" data-type="Sund i sjø">Vibrandsøysundet</a> . De er sterkest N-over ved lavvann og sterkest S-over ved høyvann. Under sterk og langvarig N-lig vind kan strømmen gå S-over døgnet rundt, på samme måte som den under sterk S-lig vind kan gå N-over hele døgnet. </p>
<p>S om <a href="ssr:486003" data-county="Rogaland" data-lat="59.39385" data-lng="5.25323" data-municipality="Karmøy" data-type="Øy i sjø">Karmøy</a> merkes strømmen ved tiltakende W-lig vind å sette sterkt E-over og inn <a href="ssr:727673" data-county="Rogaland" data-lat="59.23902" data-lng="5.34657" data-municipality="Karmøy" data-type="Sund i sjø">Karmsundet</a>. I munningen av <a href="ssr:727673" data-county="Rogaland" data-lat="59.23902" data-lng="5.34657" data-municipality="Karmøy" data-type="Sund i sjø">Karmsundet</a> kan det da bli krapp og ubehagelig strømsjø. I den trangeste delen av <a href="ssr:545762" data-county="Rogaland" data-lat="59.35136" data-lng="5.31358" data-municipality="Karmøy" data-type="Sund i sjø">Karmsundet</a>, ved <a href="ssr:874416" data-county="Rogaland" data-lat="59.37572" data-lng="5.29367" data-municipality="Karmøy" data-type="Fyrlykt">Salhus lykt</a>, kan tidevannsstrømmen bli betydelig. I munningen av <a href="ssr:727673" data-county="Rogaland" data-lat="59.23902" data-lng="5.34657" data-municipality="Karmøy" data-type="Sund i sjø">Karmsundet</a> kan det da bli krapp og ubehagelig strømsjø. I den trangeste delen av Karmsundet, ved Salhus, kan tidevannsstrømmen bli betydelig.</p>
<p>Mindre fartøyer ankrer på forskjellige steder mellom holmene S av <a href="ssr:790073" data-county="Rogaland" data-lat="59.194" data-lng="5.42203" data-municipality="Bokn" data-type="Øy i sjø">Vestre Bokn</a>, hvor strømmen er nokså variabel. Farvannet er urent og litt vanskelig å ta seg fram i. Holmene og skjærene er ensformige og grå, og går i ett med landet.</p>
