One wave in seven is higher than the significant height, and about 3 times a day one reaches 6.4 ft. Before heading out, expect waves of up to 6.4 ft.

Wind on the coast and offshore

Cross-offshore wind. The coast faces northeast and the wind comes off the land at an angle: calmer water near the shore, and bait and boats drift out to sea.

Today’s surf at a glance

The best window, 7:00 am to 11:00 am, has a good size and glassy water, though with a short-period swell. 4:00 pm to 6:00 pm can also work, with a good size and glassy water, 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.

Your diving day at a glance

The best window, 9:00 am to 12:00 pm, combines light wind, weak current and the sun high, though with some swell. Also worth a look from 4:00 pm to 5:50 pm, with light wind, though with some swell and current.

We don't have a reliable tide for Montepío, so slack water doesn't count in the rating.

Never dive alone and check with the local dive shop: this rating is a guide, not a substitute for a professional.

Solunar periods

Today's activity: medium
  • 12:59–2:59 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity
  • 1:30–3:30 pm Major · the moon passes underfoot · high activity
  • 8:24–9:24 am Minor · moonset · medium activity
  • 7:35–8:35 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 quickly

The bottom deepens quickly: 33 ft of water 1,050 ft from shore. It reaches 164 ft at 1,250 ft.

From the shoreline (0.4 mi from Montepío) out to sea, heading northeast.

How far from shore

  • 16 ft deep1,000 ft
  • 33 ft deep1,050 ft
  • 66 ft deep1,100 ft
  • 164 ft deep1,250 ft

For fishing, swimming and diving

  • Shore fishing. 33 ft of water just 1,050 ft from shore: a good cast reaches deep water. Current and surf hit harder here.
  • Swimming. The water gets deeper little by little, but a few dozen yards out you can no longer stand.
  • Diving. Shore diving works here: 33 ft at 1,050 ft and 66 ft at 1,100 ft from shore.

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.
