The sea at Golfo de Santa Clara
Sea stateSea state: smooth
The waves you may find
- Most commonMost common0.5 ft
- Significant1.0 ft
- Highest expectedHighest2.1 ft
One wave in seven is higher than the significant height, and about 3 times a day one reaches 2.1 ft. Before heading out, expect waves of up to 2.1 ft.
Wind on the coast and offshore
Onshore wind. The coast faces south and the wind blows straight in from the sea: more surf and backwash at the shore, and bait and boats drift toward land.
Wave height, next 7 daysWaves, next 7 days
Waves build over the next few days. The biggest waves arrive on Sunday 1: 3.6 ft with a period of 5 s, from the south (slight).
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 74.7 °F by Tuesday 3.
Water warmer than normal for late October (+1.5 °F).

The moon in Golfo de Santa Clara
Moon phase and position
Today the moon is 226,426 mi away and looks 32′ 47″ across.
Solunar periods
Today's activity: medium- 1:20–3:20 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity
- 1:51–3:51 pm Major · the moon passes underfoot · high activity
- 9:20–10:20 am Minor · moonset · medium activity
- 7:20–8:20 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.

For fishing, swimming and diving
- Shore fishing. Shallow, gradual bottom (16 ft at 0.75 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: the water doesn't reach 33 ft within 3.1 mi. For deeper dives, take a boat farther out.
Rough estimate: here the data comes in cells of about 0.3 mi and misses details near shore (rocks, sandbars, small coves).
Source: NOAA ETOPO 2022 (CC0), cells of about 0.3 mi; depth below mean sea level. For reference only: not for navigation or anchoring.
