The sea at Uggool Beach
Sea stateSea state: slight
The waves you may find
- Most commonMost common1.7 ft
- Significant3.5 ft
- Highest expectedHighest7.1 ft
One wave in seven is higher than the significant height, and about 3 times a day one reaches 7.1 ft. Before heading out, expect waves of up to 7.1 ft.
Wind on the coast and offshore
Cross-offshore wind. The coast faces west and the wind comes off the land at an angle: calmer water near the shore, and bait and boats drift out to sea.
Wave height, next 7 daysWaves, next 7 days
Waves stay much the same all week. The biggest waves arrive on Thursday 29: 3.6 ft with a period of 7 s, from the south-southwest (slight).
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 colder than normal for late October (−1.5 °F).

Diving in Uggool Beach today
Diving and snorkeling today
Likely visibility: fair- 3.0 ft swell at 8 s from the west-southwest: some surge on the bottom
- Moderate offshore wind (17 mph): it pushes surface swimmers away from shore
- 0.2 mph current toward the east-northeast, weak (model)
- Daylight
- Slack water today: low tide 12:47 am (12:30–1:10 am), high tide 6:59 am (6:40–7:20 am), low tide 1:16 pm (12:50–1:40 pm) and high tide 7:26 pm (7:00–7:50 pm)
- Likely visibility: fair. Swell (up to 5.6 ft at 10 s) over the last few days has stirred up the water. Based on the last 24 hours of data.
- Water at 53.6 °F: a 7 mm semi-dry suit, with hood, gloves and booties.
- Snorkeling: better not, with these waves, wind or current.
- Night dive: dark from 5:49 pm. Waning gibbous (85%), rising at 6:46 pm: a bright night.
Your diving day at a glance
The best window, 7:30 am to 8:10 am, lines up with weak current, though with some swell and moderate wind. Also worth a look from 12:40 pm to 1:50 pm, with slack water at low tide, weak current and the sun high, though with some swell and fresh wind.
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.
Never dive alone and check with the local dive shop: this rating is a guide, not a substitute for a professional.

The moon in Uggool Beach
Moon phase and position
Today the moon is 226,641 mi away and looks 32′ 45″ across.
Solunar periods
Today's activity: medium- 2:07–4:07 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity
- 2:39–4:39 pm Major · the moon passes underfoot · high activity
- 12:02–1:02 pm Minor · moonset · medium activity
- 6:16–7:16 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.

- 66 ft deep1.7 mi
- 164 ft deepnot within 3.1 mi
For fishing, swimming and diving
- Shore fishing. Shallow, gradual bottom (16 ft at 0.35 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. 33 ft deep 0.35 mi from shore; 66 ft is far out (1.7 mi): for deeper dives, go by boat.
Inside bays, estuaries and harbors the bottom changes a lot from spot to spot (channels and shoals): use this only as a rough guide. Where the bottom comes up to the surface there are shoals, rocks or an islet next to the profile.
