Where this tide comes from
Dorp Rincon has no tide station nearby: its tide is calculated with the global EOT20 model, from the nearest model cells offshore (the first one 5.5 mi away). It may differ from the real tide by a few minutes and inches, and more with wind or storms. Heights are above mean sea level, not chart datum, so low tides are negative. Not for navigation.

The sea at Dorp Rincon
Sea stateSea state: slight
The waves you may find
- Most commonMost common1.6 ft
- Significant3.1 ft
- Highest expectedHighest6.5 ft
One wave in seven is higher than the significant height, and about 3 times a day one reaches 6.5 ft. Before heading out, expect waves of up to 6.5 ft.
Wind on the coast and offshore
The model doesn't separate offshore wind here: it's the same as on the coast.
Cross-shore wind. The coast faces south and the wind blows along the shore: drift and current run parallel to the beach.
Wave height, next 7 daysWaves, next 7 days
Waves stay much the same all week. The biggest waves arrive on Thursday 29: 3.8 ft with a period of 6 s, from the east-northeast (slight).

Surf in Dorp Rincon today
Surf today
Poor- 1.0–1.4 ft surf at the shore, small: good for learning or a longboard
- 2.2 ft swell at 5 s from the east-northeast, short: weak, messy waves; this coast faces away from it
- 1.8 ft wind swell at 3 s: messy waves
- Moderate cross-shore wind (16 mph): a bit of chop
- Rising tide (high tide at 3:22 pm)
- Light: First light 6:04 am · sunrise 6:25 am · sunset 6:08 pm · last light 6:30 pm
- Tide: high 3:22 pm (0.8 ft). Every break has its own tide: some work at low tide and others at high tide. The tide doesn’t change the score here.
- Water at 84.4 °F: boardshorts or a swimsuit and a rash guard.
- Energy: 25 kJ · Low power
Today’s surf at a glance
The best window is 6:04 am to 10:00 am, though with small waves, 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.

Your diving day at a glance
The best window, 2:50 pm to 3:40 pm, combines slack water at high tide, weak current and the sun high, though with moderate wind.
Slack water comes from the tide: in inlets, channels and between islands the water can keep running for an hour or two after. Ask the local dive shop.
Never dive alone and check with the local dive shop: this rating is a guide, not a substitute for a professional.

Moon phase and position
Today the moon is 226,746 mi away and looks 32′ 44″ across.
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
- 9:24–10:24 am Minor · moonset · medium activity
- 9:03–10:03 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
Drops off fastThe bottom drops off fast: the water is 33 ft deep just 220 ft from shore. It reaches 164 ft at 500 ft.

For fishing, swimming and diving
- Shore fishing. Deep water close in: about 68 ft just 330 ft out. Good for casting from rocks, jetties or the beach itself; current and surf hit harder here.
- Swimming. The bottom drops quickly near the shore and you are soon out of your depth. Keep an eye on kids and weak swimmers.
- Diving. Shore diving works here: 33 ft at 220 ft and 66 ft at 320 ft from shore.
Right by the shore the bottom may drop even faster than shown.
