Satellite (yesterday) 66.6 °F measured 0.7 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 72.9 °F by Tuesday 3.

Water colder than normal for late October (−1.1 °F).

Today’s surf at a glance

The best window, 5:01 am to 7:00 am, has glassy water, though with a short-period swell. 8:00 am to 10:00 am can also work, though with 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.

Your diving day at a glance

The best window, 8:30 am to 11:30 am, combines light wind, weak current and the sun high. Also worth a look from 4:00 pm to 6:50 pm, with light wind, though with current.

We don't have a reliable tide for Praia da Lagoinha, so slack water doesn't count in the rating.

Solunar periods

Today's activity: medium
  • 12:44–2:44 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity
  • 1:15–3:15 pm Major · the moon passes underfoot · high activity
  • 6:27–7:27 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

Deepens quickly

The bottom deepens quickly: 33 ft of water 0.25 mi from shore.

From the shoreline (0.9 mi from Praia da Lagoinha) out to sea, heading east.

How far from shore

  • 16 ft deep900 ft
  • 33 ft deep0.25 mi
  • 66 ft deep1.7 mi
  • 164 ft deepnot within 3.1 mi

For fishing, swimming and diving

  • Shore fishing. 33 ft of water just 0.25 mi from shore: a good cast reaches deep water. Current and surf hit harder here.
  • Swimming. The water gets deeper little by little, but a few dozen yards out you can no longer stand.
  • Diving. 33 ft deep 0.25 mi from shore; 66 ft is far out (1.7 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).

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