Today’s surf at a glance

The best window, 6:01 am to 9:00 am, has a good size, though with a short-period swell. 3:00 pm to 5:44 pm can also work, with glassy water, though with a short-period swell. 10:00 am to 11:00 am can also work, 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.

Solunar periods

Today's activity: medium
  • 1:11–3:11 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity
  • 1:43–3:43 pm Major · the moon passes underfoot · high activity
  • 9:26–10:26 am Minor · moonset · medium activity
  • 6:59–7:59 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

Gentle slope

The bottom slopes gently: 16 ft deep 900 ft from shore and 33 ft at 0.7 mi.

From the shoreline out to sea, heading west.

How far from shore

  • 16 ft deep900 ft
  • 33 ft deep0.7 mi
  • 66 ft deep1.5 mi
  • 164 ft deepnot within 3.1 mi

For fishing, swimming and diving

  • Shore fishing. Shallow, gradual bottom (16 ft at 900 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. Shallow near shore: you only reach 33 ft at 0.7 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).
