Waves 0.5 ft · 4.4 s from the southwest (231°)

One wave in seven is higher than the significant height, and about 3 times a day one reaches 1.0 ft. Before heading out, expect waves of up to 1.0 ft.

Wind on the coast and offshore

On the coast 4 mph ENE · gusts 8
Offshore (16 mi SSE)Offshore 2 mph E · gusts 9

Cross-offshore wind. The coast faces southwest and the wind comes off the land at an angle: calmer water near the shore, and bait and boats drift out to sea.

Water now75.0 °F
Today 74.8–75.0 °F air: 53 / 69 °F
Satellite (2 days ago) 72.1 °F measured 0.4 mi away

The satellite measured 2.9 °F less 2 days ago than the model gives now: the water is probably colder than the forecast says.

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 73.7 °F by Wednesday 4.

Water warmer than normal for late October (+2.9 °F).

Your diving day at a glance

The best window, 9:20 am to 12:20 pm, combines little swell, light wind, weak current and the sun high.

We don't have a reliable tide for Avía, so slack water doesn't count in the rating.

Never dive alone and check with the local dive shop: this rating is a guide, not a substitute for a professional.

Solunar periods

Today's activity: medium
  • 1:53–3:53 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity
  • 2:25–4:25 pm Major · the moon passes underfoot · high activity
  • 10:15–11:15 am Minor · moonset · medium activity
  • 7:35–8:35 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 quickly

The bottom deepens quickly: 33 ft of water 0.25 mi from shore. It reaches 164 ft at 0.95 mi.

From the shoreline (1,200 ft from Avía) out to sea, heading southwest.

How far from shore

  • 16 ft deep650 ft
  • 33 ft deep0.25 mi
  • 66 ft deep0.5 mi
  • 164 ft deep0.95 mi

For fishing, swimming and diving

  • Shore fishing. Deep water close in: about 13 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 0.25 mi and 66 ft at 0.5 mi from shore.

Inside bays, estuaries and harbors the bottom changes a lot from spot to spot (channels and shoals): use this only as a rough guide.
