Surf in Playa San Mateo today
Surf today
Fair- 2.2–3.3 ft surf at the shore, a fun size for most surfers
- 5.8 ft swell at 6 s from the southwest, short: weak, messy waves; it hits this coast at an angle
- Almost no wind (2 mph): glassy water
- Rising tide (high tide at 12:27 pm)
- Light: First light 6:25 am · sunrise 6:51 am · sunset 8:10 pm · last light 8:36 pm
- Tide: high 12:04 am (4.6 ft), low 6:40 am (-0.3 ft), high 12:27 pm (3.0 ft) and low 6:12 pm (-0.1 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 60.3 °F–63.3 °F: a 4/3 fullsuit.
- Energy: 255 kJ · Medium power
Today’s surf at a glance
The best window, 7:00 am to 11:00 am, has a good size and glassy water, though with a short-period swell. 8:00 pm to 8:36 pm can also work, with a good size and glassy water, 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, 11:30 am to 1:30 pm, combines slack water at high tide, light wind, weak current and the sun high, though with some swell. Also worth a look from 5:30 pm to 6:50 pm, with slack water at low tide, light wind and weak current, though with some swell.
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.
Never dive alone and check with the local dive shop: this rating is a guide, not a substitute for a professional.

Moon phase and position
Today the moon is 226,432 mi away and looks 32′ 47″ across.
Solunar periods
Today's activity: high- 2:21–4:21 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity
- 2:52–4:52 pm Major · the moon passes underfoot · high activity
- 7:47–8:47 am Minor · moonset · medium activity
- 11:02 pm–12:02 am 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
Drops off fastThe bottom drops off fast: the water is 33 ft deep just 100 ft from shore. It reaches 164 ft at 0.5 mi.
From the shoreline (0.6 mi from Playa San Mateo) out to sea, heading northwest.
How far from shore
- 16 ft deep50 ft
- 33 ft deep100 ft
- 66 ft deep900 ft
- 164 ft deep0.5 mi
For fishing, swimming and diving
- Shore fishing. Deep water close in: about 62 ft just 330 ft out. Good for casting from rocks, jetties or the beach itself; current and surf hit harder here.
- Swimming. The bottom drops quickly near the shore and you are soon out of your depth. Keep an eye on kids and weak swimmers.
- Diving. Shore diving works here: 33 ft at 100 ft and 66 ft at 900 ft from shore.
Rough estimate: here the data comes in cells of about 0.3 mi and misses details near shore (rocks, sandbars, small coves).
