Beach day in Suttsu
Is it a beach day?
- Cloudy (86% cloud cover)
- Feels like 45 °F: chilly for the beach
- Rain (0.35 in)
- Light offshore wind (10 mph): it blows floats and inflatables out to sea
- Dangerous for swimming: 7.2 ft waves every 7 s; high rip current risk
- Water at 58 °F (very cold)
Dangerous surf during beach hours. Stay out if the red flag is up, and never swim where there is no lifeguard.
Today, hour by hour
- Swimming Dangerous · 7.2 ft
7.2 ft waves every 7 s: dangerous for swimming. Stay out if the red flag is up. High rip current risk. If you're caught in a rip current, don't swim against it: swim parallel to shore and wave for help. Always follow the lifeguard's flags.
- Water 58 °F
Very cold: ease in and keep swims short.
- Sun & sunscreen UV 2 · SPF 15
Max UV 2 (low): SPF 15 sunscreen.
- Wind 10 mph
Offshore breeze (10 mph). Watch floats and inflatables: offshore wind carries them out to sea.
- Tide & sand
Suttsu has almost no tide: the beach stays the same all day.
We don't have data on jellyfish, sargassum or beach closures: ask the lifeguard or check with the local beach authority. How it works · The next 7 days

Tides in Suttsu
Today's high and low tides
- ▲ High tide 3:42 am 1.1 ft
- ▼ Next low tide 11:14 am 0.3 ft
- ▲ High tide 6:40 pm 1.0 ft
- ▼ Low tide 10:44 pm 0.8 ft
↓ Falling The tide is falling. 3 h 20 min to low tide at 11:14 am.
In Suttsu the astronomical tide is very small: about 0.8 ft between high and low tide. Here the sea level is moved mostly by wind and air pressure (storm surge), which can raise or lower it more than the tide itself.
2026 extremes: the highest tide of the year is on August 13 (1.3 ft) and the lowest, on March 22 (-0.4 ft).
Heights above chart datum (CD), the zero of that port's nautical charts. Astronomical prediction: wind and air pressure can raise or lower the water by a few inches, and more in a storm. Not for navigation. chart datum (CD)

The sea at Suttsu
Sea stateSea state: moderate
The waves you may find
- Most commonMost common3.3 ft
- Significant6.7 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
Offshore wind. The coast faces northwest and the wind blows from land out to sea: calm shore and clean waves, but watch the drift out to sea.
Wave height, next 7 daysWaves, next 7 days
Waves build over the next few days. The biggest waves arrive on Sunday 1: 11 ft with a period of 8 s, from the west-northwest (rough).
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 56.1 °F by Wednesday 4.
Water colder than normal for late October (−1.8 °F).

Surf in Suttsu today
Surf today
Good- 3.2–4.9 ft surf at the shore, a good size with some punch
- 4.9 ft swell at 6 s from the west-northwest, short: weak, messy waves
- Almost no wind (2 mph): glassy water
- Light: First light 5:40 am · sunrise 6:09 am · sunset 4:36 pm · last light 5:05 pm
- Tide: We don’t have a reliable tide to show here.
- Water at 57.9 °F: a 4/3 fullsuit (booties if you run cold).
- Energy: 166 kJ · Medium power
Today’s surf at a glance
The best window, 6:00 am to 10:00 am, has a good size and glassy water, though with a short-period swell. 1:00 pm to 5:00 pm can also work, with a good size and light offshore wind, though with a short-period 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.
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 Suttsu today
Diving and snorkeling today
Likely visibility: poor- 4.4 ft swell at 6 s from the northwest: some surge on the bottom
- Light offshore wind (8 mph)
- 0.3 mph current toward the west, weak (model)
- Sun high: more light underwater
- Slack water today: none; the tide doesn't count here
- Likely visibility: poor. Swell (up to 10 ft at 8 s) and rain (0.45 in) over the last few days have stirred up the water. Based on the last 24 hours of data.
- Water at 57.9 °F: a 7 mm wetsuit, with hood and booties.
- Snorkeling: better not, with these waves, wind or current.
- Night dive: dark from 5:05 pm. Waning gibbous (88%), rising at 6:27 pm: a bright night.
Your diving day at a glance
The best window, 8:30 am to 11:30 am, combines light wind, weak current and the sun high, though with some swell. Also worth a look from 6:10 am to 7:30 am, with light wind and weak current, though with some swell.
In Suttsu the tide barely moves the water, so there's no slack to wait for: swell, wind and current are what count.
Never dive alone and check with the local dive shop: this rating is a guide, not a substitute for a professional.

The moon in Suttsu
Moon phase and position
Today the moon is 226,480 mi away and looks 32′ 46″ across.
Solunar periods
Today's activity: medium- 12:39–2:39 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity
- 1:11–3:11 pm Major · the moon passes underfoot · high activity
- 9:24–10:24 am Minor · moonset · medium activity
- 5:57–6:57 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
Shallow, gradualShallow, gradual bottom: you need to go 1.7 mi out for 33 ft of water.
From the shoreline (0.6 mi from Suttsu) out to sea, heading north.
How far from shore
- 16 ft deep0.5 mi
- 33 ft deep1.7 mi
- 66 ft deep2 mi
- 164 ft deepnot within 3.1 mi
For fishing, swimming and diving
- Shore fishing. Shallow, gradual bottom (16 ft at 0.5 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. Shallow near shore: you only reach 33 ft at 1.7 mi. For dives deeper than 33 ft, go by boat.
Rough estimate: here the data comes in cells of about 0.3 mi and misses details near shore (rocks, sandbars, small coves). The profile is turned slightly from the coast so it does not run into an island or a headland.
