Sea and waves

Waves 0.7 ft · 3.4 s from the west (265°)

The waves you may find

  • Most commonMost common0.4 ft

  • Highest expectedHighest1.5 ft

One wave in seven is higher than the significant height, and about 3 times a day one reaches 1.5 ft. Before heading out, expect waves of up to 1.5 ft.

Wind on the coast and offshore

On the coast 9 mph W · gusts 14
Offshore (6.1 mi ESE)Offshore 11 mph W · gusts 16

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

Satellite (yesterday) 84.6 °F measured 0.9 mi away

The satellite measured 4.7 °F less yesterday 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 is steady these days, with no sudden changes.

Water warmer than normal for late October (+4.4 °F).

Solunar periods

Today's activity: medium
  • 1:28–3:28 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity
  • 1:59–3:59 pm Major · the moon passes underfoot · high activity
  • 8:36–9:36 am Minor · moonset · medium activity
  • 8:22–9:22 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

Very shallow

Very shallow and flat: even 0.95 mi from shore the water is less than 16 ft deep.

From the shoreline (1.1 mi from Bubaque) out to sea, heading northeast.

How far from shore

  • 16 ft deepnot within 0.95 mi
  • 33 ft deepnot within 0.95 mi
  • 66 ft deepnot within 0.95 mi
  • 164 ft deepnot within 0.95 mi

For fishing, swimming and diving

  • Shore fishing. Very shallow: the water doesn't reach 16 ft within 0.95 mi. Cast far from the beach, ideally around high tide.
  • 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: the water doesn't reach 33 ft within 0.95 mi. For deeper dives, take a boat farther out.

Inside bays, estuaries and harbors the bottom changes a lot from spot to spot (channels and shoals): use this only as a rough guide. There is land ahead (an island, a headland or the far shore) 0.95 mi out.
