Mixed: two high and two low tides a day, but of quite different heights.

The sea at West St. Modeste
Sea stateSea state: slight
The waves you may find
- Most commonMost common1.2 ft
- Significant2.5 ft
- Highest expectedHighest5.2 ft
One wave in seven is higher than the significant height, and about 3 times a day one reaches 5.2 ft. Before heading out, expect waves of up to 5.2 ft.
Wind on the coast and offshore
Cross-offshore wind. The coast faces southeast and the wind comes off the land at an angle: calmer water near the shore, and bait and boats drift out to sea.
Wave height, next 7 daysWaves, next 7 days
Waves stay much the same all week. The biggest waves arrive on Monday 2: 3.1 ft with a period of 5 s, from the southwest (slight).
Water temperature
Water temperature →Water temperature changes how fish behave: in very cold or very warm water they feed less. The water cools over the next few days: about 38.0 °F by Tuesday 3.

Surf in West St. Modeste today
Surf today
Poor- 1.1–1.7 ft surf at the shore, small: good for learning or a longboard
- 1.9 ft swell at 5 s from the southwest, short: weak, messy waves
- Moderate offshore wind (17 mph): it holds up and grooms the waves
- Falling tide (low tide at 6:02 pm)
- Light: First light 7:29 am · sunrise 8:04 am · sunset 5:57 pm · last light 6:32 pm
- Tide: low 5:05 am (0.7 ft), high 11:23 am (4.7 ft), low 6:02 pm (1.3 ft) and high 11:38 pm (3.5 ft). Every break has its own tide: some work at low tide and others at high tide. The tide doesn’t change the score here.
- Water at 39.2 °F: a 6/5 hooded fullsuit with booties and gloves.
- Energy: 24 kJ · Low power
Today’s surf at a glance
The best window, 3:00 pm to 6:32 pm, has light offshore wind, though with a short-period swell. 7:29 am to 11:00 am can also work, with light offshore wind, 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.

The best window, 5:00 pm to 6:00 pm, combines slack water at low tide and weak current, though with moderate wind.
Slack water comes from the tide: in inlets, channels and between islands the water can keep running for an hour or two after. Ask the local dive shop.

Moon phase and position
Today the moon is 226,434 mi away and looks 32′ 47″ across.
Solunar periods
Today's activity: high- 1:48–3:48 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity
- 2:20–4:20 pm Major · the moon passes underfoot · high activity
- 11:16 am–12:16 pm Minor · moonset · medium activity
- 6:20–7:20 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.
