The sea at Monte Vermelho
Sea stateSea state: slight
The waves you may find
- Most commonMost common1.5 ft
- Significant3.0 ft
- Highest expectedHighest6.0 ft
One wave in seven is higher than the significant height, and about 3 times a day one reaches 6.0 ft. Before heading out, expect waves of up to 6.0 ft.
Wind on the coast and offshore
The model doesn't separate offshore wind here: it's the same as on the coast.
Onshore wind. The coast faces southeast and the wind blows straight in from the sea: more surf and backwash at the shore, and bait and boats drift toward land.
Wave height, next 7 daysWaves, next 7 days
Waves stay much the same all week. The biggest waves arrive on Wednesday 28: 3.3 ft with a period of 10 s, from the south (slight).
Water temperature
Water temperature →Water temperature changes how fish behave: in very cold or very warm water they feed less. The water is steady these days, with no sudden changes.
Water warmer than normal for late October (+2.4 °F).

The moon in Monte Vermelho
Moon phase and position
Today the moon is 226,444 mi away and looks 32′ 47″ across.
Solunar periods
Today's activity: medium- 1:03–3:03 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity
- 1:35–3:35 pm Major · the moon passes underfoot · high activity
- 8:19–9:19 am Minor · moonset · medium activity
- 7:49–8:49 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 slopeThe bottom slopes gently: 16 ft deep 0.5 mi from shore and 33 ft at 0.5 mi. It reaches 164 ft at 0.65 mi.
From the shoreline (1 mi from Monte Vermelho) out to sea, heading southeast.

- 33 ft deep0.5 mi
- 66 ft deep0.55 mi
- 164 ft deep0.65 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. Shore diving works here: 33 ft at 0.5 mi and 66 ft at 0.55 mi from shore.
Rough estimate: here the data comes in cells of about 0.3 mi and misses details near shore (rocks, sandbars, small coves).
