The sea at Paraíso
Sea stateSea state: slight
The waves you may find
- Most commonMost common1.1 ft
- Significant2.2 ft
- Highest expectedHighest4.6 ft
One wave in seven is higher than the significant height, and about 3 times a day one reaches 4.6 ft. Before heading out, expect waves of up to 4.6 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 Saturday 31: 3.3 ft with a period of 5 s, from the east-southeast (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 (+1.3 °F).

Moon phase and position
Today the moon is 226,429 mi away and looks 32′ 47″ across.
Solunar periods
Today's activity: medium- 1:19–3:19 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity
- 1:50–3:50 pm Major · the moon passes underfoot · high activity
- 8:43–9:43 am Minor · moonset · medium activity
- 7:57–8:57 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 0.65 mi from shore and 33 ft at 0.7 mi. It reaches 164 ft at 0.9 mi.
From the shoreline (0.3 mi from Paraíso) out to sea, heading southeast.
How far from shore
- 16 ft deep0.65 mi
- 33 ft deep0.7 mi
- 66 ft deep0.75 mi
- 164 ft deep0.9 mi
For fishing, swimming and diving
- Shore fishing. Shallow, gradual bottom (16 ft at 0.65 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. Shallow near shore: you only reach 33 ft at 0.7 mi. For dives deeper than 33 ft, 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.
