The sea at Ushuaia
Sea stateSea state: calm (rippled)
The waves you may find
- Most commonMost common0.1 ft
- Significant0.1 ft
- Highest expectedHighest0.3 ft
One wave in seven is higher than the significant height, and about 3 times a day one reaches 0.3 ft. Before heading out, expect waves of up to 0.3 ft.
Wind on the coast and offshore
The model doesn't separate offshore wind here: it's the same as on the coast.
Cross-offshore wind. The coast faces east and the wind comes off the land at an angle: calmer water near the shore, and bait and boats drift out to sea.
Wave height, next 7 daysWaves, next 7 days
Waves stay much the same all week. The biggest waves arrive on Friday 30: 0.8 ft with a period of 2 s, from the southwest (smooth).

Moon phase and position
Today the moon is 226,432 mi away and looks 32′ 47″ across.
Solunar periods
Today's activity: high- 2:07–4:07 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity
- 2:39–4:39 pm Major · the moon passes underfoot · high activity
- 5:48–6:48 am Minor · moonset · 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.
