The sea at Bemm River
Sea stateSea state: moderate
The waves you may find
- Most commonMost common3.2 ft
- Significant6.4 ft
- Highest expectedHighest13 ft
One wave in seven is higher than the significant height, and about 3 times a day one reaches 13 ft. Before heading out, expect waves of up to 13 ft.
Wind on the coast and offshore
Cross-onshore wind. The coast faces south 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 ease over the next few days. The biggest waves arrive on Thursday 29: 7.1 ft with a period of 7 s, from the southwest (moderate).

Today’s surf at a glance
The best window, 4:00 pm to 8:00 pm, has a good size, though with onshore wind. 6:00 am to 7:00 am can also work, with a good size, though with a short-period swell, wind swell and cross-shore wind.
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.

Moon phase and position
Today the moon is 226,459 mi away and looks 32′ 47″ across.
Solunar periods
Today's activity: medium- 2:03–4:03 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity
- 2:35–4:35 pm Major · the moon passes underfoot · high activity
- 7:10–8:10 am Minor · moonset · medium activity
- 11:03 pm–12:03 am 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.

For fishing, swimming and diving
- Shore fishing. Shallow, gradual bottom (16 ft at 0.3 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. 33 ft deep 0.45 mi from shore; 66 ft is far out (1.3 mi): for deeper dives, 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).
