Today’s surf at a glance

The best window, 5:00 am to 7:00 am, has a good size, though with wind swell and onshore wind. 8:00 am to 12:00 pm 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.

Solunar periods

Today's activity: medium
  • 12:31–2:31 pm Major · the moon passes underfoot · high activity
  • 6:35–7:35 am Minor · moonset · medium activity
  • 7:27–8:27 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.
