The sea at Monkstown
Sea stateSea state: slight
The waves you may find
- Most commonMost common1.3 ft
- Significant2.6 ft
- Highest expectedHighest5.5 ft
One wave in seven is higher than the significant height, and about 3 times a day one reaches 5.5 ft. Before heading out, expect waves of up to 5.5 ft.
Wind on the coast and offshore
Cross-onshore wind. The coast faces east 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 stay much the same all week. The biggest waves arrive on Friday 30: 3.6 ft with a period of 5 s, from the south-southeast (slight).
Water temperature
Water temperature →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 54.6 °F by Wednesday 4.

Surf in Monkstown today
Surf today
Poor- 0.9–1.3 ft surf at the shore, small: good for learning or a longboard
- 0.9 ft swell at 4 s from the south-southeast, short: weak, messy waves
- 1.0 ft wind swell at 2 s: messy waves
- Light onshore wind (5 mph): a bit of chop
- Rising tide (high tide at 1:17 pm)
- Light: First light 6:41 am · sunrise 7:17 am · sunset 4:59 pm · last light 5:35 pm
- Tide: high 12:51 am (13.7 ft), low 6:30 am (2.4 ft), high 1:17 pm (13.6 ft) and low 6:59 pm (2.3 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 55.4 °F: a 5/4 fullsuit with booties (and a hood if it’s windy).
- Energy: 3 kJ · Low power
Today’s surf at a glance
The best window is 7:00 am to 11:00 am, though with small waves, a short-period swell and wind swell.
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.

Your diving day at a glance
The best window, 11:20 am to 2:10 pm, combines slack water at high tide, light wind, weak current and the sun high.
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 226,641 mi away and looks 32′ 45″ across.
Solunar periods
Today's activity: medium- 1:51–3:51 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity

- 11:43 am–12:43 pm Minor · moonset · medium activity
- 6:03–7:03 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 1,250 ft): 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. 33 ft deep 0.5 mi from shore; 66 ft is far out (1.9 mi): for deeper dives, go by boat.
