Today’s surf at a glance

The best window, 10:00 am to 2:00 pm, has a good size and light offshore wind, though with a short-period swell and wind swell.

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.

Today's activity: medium
  • 1:15–3:15 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity

  • 7:54–8:54 am Minor · moonset · medium activity
  • 8:40–9:40 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.

Shallow, gradual bottom: 16 ft at 0.5 mi from shore and 26 ft at 3.1 mi.

From the shoreline out to sea, heading north.

How far from shore

  • 16 ft deep0.5 mi
  • 33 ft deepnot within 3.1 mi
  • 66 ft deepnot within 3.1 mi
  • 164 ft deepnot within 3.1 mi

For fishing, swimming and diving

  • Shore fishing. Shallow, gradual bottom (16 ft at 0.5 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: the water doesn't reach 33 ft within 3.1 mi. For deeper dives, take a boat farther out.

Rough estimate: here the data comes in cells of about 0.3 mi and misses details near shore (rocks, sandbars, small coves).
