The sea at Camden Haven
Sea stateSea state: slight
The waves you may find
- Most commonMost common1.6 ft
- Significant3.2 ft
- Highest expectedHighest6.4 ft
One wave in seven is higher than the significant height, and about 3 times a day one reaches 6.4 ft. Before heading out, expect waves of up to 6.4 ft.
Wind on the coast and offshore
Cross-onshore wind. The coast faces east and the wind comes in from the sea at an angle: a bit more surf at the shore and drift along the coast, toward land.
Wave height, next 7 daysWaves, next 7 days
Waves stay much the same all week. The biggest waves arrive on Friday 30: 4.3 ft with a period of 10 s, from the south-southeast (moderate).

Moon phase and position
Today the moon is 226,459 mi away and looks 32′ 47″ across.
Solunar periods
Today's activity: medium- 1:47–3:47 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity

- 7:15–8:15 am Minor · moonset · medium activity

- 66 ft deep1.4 mi
- 164 ft deepnot within 3.1 mi
For fishing, swimming and diving
- Shore fishing. Shallow, gradual bottom (16 ft at 0.65 mi): cast far from the beach and fish the high tide, when there is more water close in.
- Swimming. A very gentle way in with plenty of shallow water, good for kids. At low tide the water can be far out.
- Diving. Shallow near shore: you only reach 33 ft at 0.85 mi. For dives deeper than 33 ft, go by boat.
Rough estimate: here the data comes in cells of about 0.3 mi and misses details near shore (rocks, sandbars, small coves).
