Today’s surf at a glance

The best window, 7:00 am to 11:00 am, has a good size and glassy water, though with a short-period swell. 12:00 pm to 1:00 pm can also work, though with a short-period swell.

An estimate for this stretch of coast, not for a specific break: every beach or reef works its own way (its tide, bottom and angle). Check it when you get there.

Follow the flags and the lifeguards, and don’t paddle out if the surf is above your level: this score is a guide, not a substitute for what you see when you get there.

Solunar periods

Today's activity: medium
  • 2:11–4:11 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity
  • 2:43–4:43 pm Major · the moon passes underfoot · high activity
  • 10:32–11:32 am Minor · moonset · medium activity
  • 7:53–8:53 pm Minor · moonrise · medium activity

According to solunar theory, fish feed more when the moon passes overhead or underfoot (major periods, about 2 h) and when it rises or sets (minor periods, 1 h). It works best around new and full moon.

Water depth

Deepens quickly

The bottom deepens quickly: 33 ft of water 1,250 ft from shore. It reaches 164 ft at 0.9 mi.

From the shoreline (800 ft from Boumerdas) out to sea, heading north.

How far from shore

  • 16 ft deep900 ft
  • 33 ft deep1,250 ft
  • 66 ft deep0.4 mi
  • 164 ft deep0.9 mi

For fishing, swimming and diving

  • Shore fishing. 33 ft of water just 1,250 ft from shore: a good cast reaches deep water. Current and surf hit harder here.
  • Swimming. The water gets deeper little by little, but a few dozen yards out you can no longer stand.
  • Diving. Shore diving works here: 33 ft at 1,250 ft and 66 ft at 0.4 mi from shore.

Rough estimate: here the data comes in cells of about 0.3 mi and misses details near shore (rocks, sandbars, small coves).

Source: EMODnet Bathymetry DTM 2024, here using the GEBCO grid (CC BY 4.0), cells of about 0.3 mi; depth at the lowest astronomical tide. For reference only: not for navigation or anchoring.
