Sea and waves

The sea at Porto Belo

7-day waves

Waves 1.3 ft · 5.0 s from the east (86°)

Current 0.4 mph toward the SSW

The waves you may find

  • Most commonMost common0.7 ft

  • Highest expectedHighest2.7 ft

One wave in seven is higher than the significant height, and about 3 times a day one reaches 2.7 ft. Before heading out, expect waves of up to 2.7 ft.

Wind on the coast and offshore

On the coast 2 mph W · gusts 5
Offshore (7.2 mi SSE)Offshore 9 mph N · gusts 14

Cross-offshore wind. The coast faces northeast and the wind comes off the land at an angle: calmer water near the shore, and bait and boats drift out to sea.

Water now70.2 °F
Today 69.8–70.3 °F air: 60 / 75 °F
Satellite (yesterday) 67.3 °F measured 0.6 mi away

The satellite measured 2.9 °F less yesterday than the model gives now: the water is probably colder than the forecast says.

Water temperature changes how fish behave: in very cold or very warm water they feed less. The water warms over the next few days: about 73.4 °F by Tuesday 3.

Water colder than normal for late October (−0.9 °F).

Today’s surf at a glance

The best window, 5:02 am to 9:00 am, has glassy water, though with small waves and a short-period 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.

Solunar periods

Today's activity: medium
  • 12:44–2:44 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity
  • 1:16–3:16 pm Major · the moon passes underfoot · high activity
  • 6:28–7:28 am Minor · moonset · medium activity
  • 9:07–10:07 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

Gentle slope

The bottom slopes gently: 16 ft deep 0.5 mi from shore and 33 ft at 0.55 mi.

From the shoreline out to sea, heading north.

How far from shore

  • 16 ft deep0.5 mi
  • 33 ft deep0.55 mi
  • 66 ft deep1.2 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. 33 ft deep 0.55 mi from shore; 66 ft is far out (1.2 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). The profile is turned slightly from the coast so it does not run into an island or a headland.

Source: NOAA ETOPO 2022 (CC0), cells of about 0.3 mi; depth below mean sea level. For reference only: not for navigation or anchoring.
