The sea at Digha
Sea stateSea state: slight
The waves you may find
- Most commonMost common2.0 ft
- Significant4.1 ft
- Highest expectedHighest8.3 ft
One wave in seven is higher than the significant height, and about 3 times a day one reaches 8.3 ft. Before heading out, expect waves of up to 8.3 ft.
Wind on the coast and offshore
Cross-onshore wind. The coast faces south 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: 4.5 ft with a period of 8 s, from the south-southeast (moderate).
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 (+1.7 °F).

Today’s surf at a glance
The best window, 6:00 am to 7:00 am, has a good size, though with a short-period swell. 8:00 am to 10:00 am can also work, with 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.

Moon phase and position
Today the moon is 226,531 mi away and looks 32′ 46″ across.
Solunar periods
Today's activity: medium- 12:49–2:49 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity
- 1:22–3:22 pm Major · the moon passes underfoot · high activity
- 8:24–9:24 am Minor · moonset · medium activity
- 7:18–8:18 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. Very shallow: the water doesn't reach 16 ft within 3.1 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 3.1 mi. For deeper dives, take a boat farther out.
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.
