The sea at Ramakrishna Beach
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
Cross-onshore wind. The coast faces southeast and the wind comes in from the sea at an angle: a bit more surf at the shore and drift along the coast, toward land.
Wave height, next 7 daysWaves, next 7 days
Waves ease over the next few days. The biggest waves arrive on Thursday 29: 9.9 ft with a period of 8 s, from the south (rough).
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.

Surf in Ramakrishna Beach today
Surf today
Fair- 3.9–5.9 ft surf at the shore, a good size with some punch
- 5.5 ft swell at 7 s from the south-southeast, short: weak, messy waves
- Light onshore wind (10 mph): a bit of chop
- Falling tide (low tide at 3:54 pm)
- Light: First light 5:32 am · sunrise 5:54 am · sunset 5:26 pm · last light 5:49 pm
- Tide: low 4:00 am (2.4 ft), high 9:46 am (6.2 ft), low 3:54 pm (1.9 ft) and high 10:26 pm (6.9 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 84.0 °F: boardshorts or a swimsuit and a rash guard.
- Energy: 283 kJ · Medium power
Today’s surf at a glance
The best window, 2:00 pm to 5:49 pm, has a good size, though with a short-period swell and onshore 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 Ramakrishna Beach today
Diving and snorkeling today
Likely visibility: poor- Slack water around low tide (3:54 pm): little current from 3:30 pm to 4:20 pm
- 5.4 ft swell at 7 s from the south-southeast: strong surge on the bottom
- Light onshore wind (8 mph)
- 0.3 mph current toward the southeast, weak (model)
- Daylight
- Slack water today: low tide 4:00 am (3:40–4:20 am), high tide 9:46 am (9:20–10:10 am), low tide 3:54 pm (3:30–4:20 pm) and high tide 10:26 pm (10:00–10:50 pm)
- Likely visibility: poor. Swell (up to 6.2 ft at 8 s) and rain (4.09 in) over the last few days have stirred up the water. Based on the last 24 hours of data.
- Water at 84.0 °F: a shorty or a rash guard.
- Snorkeling: better not, with these waves, wind or current.
- Night dive: dark from 5:49 pm. Waning gibbous (87%), rising at 8:16 pm: a bright night.
Your diving day at a glance
The best window, 3:00 pm to 4:50 pm, combines slack water at low tide, light wind and weak current, though with some swell. Also worth a look from 9:20 am to 10:10 am, with slack water at high tide, light wind, weak current and the sun high, though with a big 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.

Moon phase and position
Today the moon is 226,531 mi away and looks 32′ 46″ across.
Solunar periods
Today's activity: medium- 1:07–3:07 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity

- 8:32–9:32 am Minor · moonset · medium activity
- 7:46–8:46 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.

For fishing, swimming and diving
- Shore fishing. Shallow, gradual bottom (16 ft at 0.4 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. Shore diving works here: 33 ft at 0.5 mi and 66 ft at 0.7 mi from shore.
