Beach day in Omoa
Is it a beach day?
- Sunny
- Feels like 91 °F: beach weather
- Water at 85 °F (very warm)
- Low tide at 11:17 am: more sand
- Moderate offshore wind (17 mph): it blows floats and inflatables out to sea
- Swim with care: 7.0 ft waves every 11 s; high rip current risk
Dangerous surf during beach hours. Stay out if the red flag is up, and never swim where there is no lifeguard.
Today, hour by hour
- Swimming Use care · 7.0 ft
7.0 ft waves every 11 s: swim with care and stay where you can stand. High rip current risk. If you're caught in a rip current, don't swim against it: swim parallel to shore and wave for help. Always follow the lifeguard's flags.
- Water 84 °F
Very warm: barely refreshing.
- Sun & sunscreen UV 14 · SPF 50
Max UV 14 (extreme): SPF 50 sunscreen, reapplied every 2 hours. Seek shade 10:00 am–3:00 pm (very high UV).
- Wind 18 mph
Moderate offshore wind (18 mph). Skip the inflatables: offshore wind carries them out to sea.
- Tide & sand 11:31 pm
Low tide at 11:17 am and 11:31 pm: that's when there's the most sand. High tide at 4:58 am and 5:20 pm.
The best window, 12:00 pm to 4:00 pm, brings sunshine, beach weather, water at 85 °F and low tide at 11:17 am, though with moderate offshore wind, some waves and very high UV.

Where this tide comes from
Omoa has no tide station nearby: its tide is calculated with the global FES2022 model, from the nearest model cells offshore (the first one 1.3 mi away). It may differ from the real tide by a few minutes and inches, and more with wind or storms. Heights are above mean sea level, not chart datum, so low tides are negative. Not for navigation.
Model attribution: FES2022 Tide was produced by LEGOS, NOVELTIS and CLS, funded by CNES, and distributed by AVISO (https://doi.org/10.24400/527896/a01-2024.004), AVISO licence (https://www.aviso.altimetry.fr/fileadmin/documents/data/License_Aviso.pdf). Modified by TidePlanet: constants interpolated from the nearest model cells offshore; heights above mean sea level.
The sea at Omoa
Sea stateSea state: moderate
The waves you may find
- Most commonMost common3.4 ft
- Significant6.9 ft
- Highest expectedHighest14 ft
One wave in seven is higher than the significant height, and about 3 times a day one reaches 14 ft. Before heading out, expect waves of up to 14 ft.
Wind on the coast and offshore
The model doesn't separate offshore wind here: it's the same as on the coast.
Cross-offshore wind. The coast faces west 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 Wednesday 28: 7.8 ft with a period of 11 s, from the south (moderate).

Surf in Omoa today
Surf today
Very good- 4.2–6.5 ft surf at the shore, a good size with some punch
- 6.2 ft swell at 11 s from the south, average
- Moderate offshore wind (18 mph): it holds up and grooms the waves
- Falling tide (low tide at 11:17 am)
- Light: First light 4:53 am · sunrise 5:15 am · sunset 5:42 pm · last light 6:04 pm
- Tide: high 4:58 am (2.1 ft), low 11:17 am (-1.8 ft), high 5:20 pm (1.6 ft) and low 11:31 pm (-1.9 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 84.2 °F: boardshorts or a swimsuit and a rash guard.
- Energy: 810 kJ · High power
Today’s surf at a glance
The best window, 5:00 am to 9:00 am, has a good size and light offshore wind.
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.
Diving in Omoa today
Diving and snorkeling today
Likely visibility: poor- Slack water around low tide (11:17 am): little current from 10:50 am to 11:40 am
- 6.0 ft swell at 11 s from the south: strong surge on the bottom
- Moderate offshore wind (15 mph): it pushes surface swimmers away from shore
- 0.4 mph current toward the west-southwest, weak (model)
- Sun high: more light underwater
Not a day for shore diving: swell, wind, current or storms during the best window. If you go, go with a dive shop and only if they give the OK.
- Slack water today: high tide 4:58 am (4:30–5:20 am), low tide 11:17 am (10:50–11:40 am), high tide 5:20 pm (4:50–5:50 pm) and low tide 11:31 pm (11:00 pm–12:00 am)
- Likely visibility: poor. Swell (up to 7.0 ft at 12 s) over the last few days has stirred up the water. Based on the last 24 hours of data.
- Water at 84.2 °F: a shorty or a rash guard.
- Snorkeling: better not, with these waves, wind or current.
- Night dive: dark from 6:04 pm. Waning gibbous (90%), rising at 8:43 pm: a bright night.
Your diving day at a glance
The best window, 10:10 am to 12:30 pm, combines slack water at low tide, weak current and the sun high, though with a big swell and moderate wind. Also worth a look from 5:20 am to 6:20 am, with weak current, though with a big swell and moderate wind. Also worth a look from 4:30 pm to 5:40 pm, with slack water at high tide, though with a big swell, moderate wind and current.
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 226,434 mi away and looks 32′ 47″ across.
Solunar periods
Today's activity: medium- 12:31–2:31 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity
- 1:03–3:03 pm Major · the moon passes underfoot · high activity
- 6:53–7:53 am Minor · moonset · medium activity
- 8:13–9:13 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 quicklyThe bottom deepens quickly: 33 ft of water 0.3 mi from shore. It reaches 164 ft at 0.65 mi.
From the shoreline out to sea, heading west.

- 33 ft deep0.3 mi
- 66 ft deep0.4 mi
- 164 ft deep0.65 mi
For fishing, swimming and diving
- Shore fishing. 33 ft of water just 0.3 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. Shore diving works here: 33 ft at 0.3 mi and 66 ft at 0.4 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).
Source: NOAA ETOPO 2022 (CC0), cells of about 0.3 mi; depth below mean sea level. For reference only: not for navigation or anchoring.
