Semidiurnal: two high and two low tides a day, of similar height.

The waves you may find
- Most commonMost common0.2 ft

One wave in seven is higher than the significant height, and about 3 times a day one reaches 1.0 ft. Before heading out, expect waves of up to 1.0 ft.
Wind on the coast and offshore
Offshore wind. The coast faces southwest and the wind blows from land out to sea: calm shore and clean waves, but watch the drift out to sea.

Waves stay much the same all week. The biggest waves arrive on Monday 2: 2.1 ft with a period of 4 s, from the northwest (slight).

Today’s surf at a glance
The best window, 6:00 am to 10:00 am, has glassy water, though with barely any waves.
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.

Your diving day at a glance
The best window, 9:20 am to 11:00 am, combines slack water at high tide, little swell, light wind, weak current and the sun high. Also good from 3:20 pm to 4:50 pm, with slack water at low tide, little swell, light wind and weak current.
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 226,461 mi away and looks 32′ 47″ across.
Solunar periods
Today's activity: high- 12:22–2:22 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity
- 12:53–2:53 pm Major · the moon passes underfoot · high activity
- 8:50–9:50 am Minor · moonset · medium activity
- 5:52–6:52 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
Deepens quicklyThe bottom deepens quickly: 33 ft of water 0.25 mi from shore. It reaches 164 ft at 1 mi.

- 33 ft deep0.25 mi
- 66 ft deep0.65 mi
- 164 ft deep1 mi
For fishing, swimming and diving
- Shore fishing. Deep water close in: about 16 ft just 330 ft out. Good for casting from rocks, jetties or the beach itself; current and surf hit harder here.
- Swimming. The bottom drops quickly near the shore and you are soon out of your depth. Keep an eye on kids and weak swimmers.
- Diving. Shore diving works here: 33 ft at 0.25 mi and 66 ft at 0.65 mi from shore.
Right by the shore the bottom may drop even faster than shown.
