Sea and waves

7-day waves

Sea stateSea state: calm (rippled)

Calm (rippled) Douglas 1 · gentle breeze, Beaufort 3
Waves 0.3 ft · 2.7 s from the east-northeast (63°)

The waves you may find

  • Most commonMost common0.1 ft
  • Significant0.3 ft
  • Highest expectedHighest0.6 ft

One wave in seven is higher than the significant height, and about 3 times a day one reaches 0.6 ft. Before heading out, expect waves of up to 0.6 ft.

Wind on the coast and offshore

On the coast 7 mph N · gusts 16
Offshore (15 mi NNW)Offshore 10 mph NNE · gusts 14

Onshore wind. The coast faces north and the wind blows straight in from the sea: more surf and backwash at the shore, and bait and boats drift toward land.

Today 71.4–71.8 °F air: 47 / 73 °F
Satellite (2 days ago) 74.8 °F measured 3.0 mi away

The satellite measured 3.2 °F more 2 days ago than the model gives now: the water is probably warmer than the forecast says.

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 69.3 °F by Wednesday 4.

Water warmer than normal for late October (+1.3 °F).

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.

Solunar periods

Today's activity: medium
  • 1:16–3:16 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity
  • 1:49–3:49 pm Major · the moon passes underfoot · high activity
  • 9:25–10:25 am Minor · moonset · medium activity
  • 7:11–8:11 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.
