The sea at Río Lagartos
Sea stateSea state: slight
The waves you may find
- Most commonMost common1.5 ft
- Significant3.1 ft
- Highest expectedHighest6.4 ft
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
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.
Wave height, next 7 daysWaves, next 7 days
Waves stay much the same all week. The biggest waves arrive on Wednesday 28: 3.9 ft with a period of 6 s, from the northeast (slight).
Water temperature
Water temperature →Water temperature changes how fish behave: in very cold or very warm water they feed less. The water is steady these days, with no sudden changes.
Water warmer than normal for late October (+2.4 °F).

Moon phase and position
Today the moon is 226,426 mi away and looks 32′ 47″ across.
Solunar periods
Today's activity: medium- 12:30–2:30 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity
- 1:01–3:01 pm Major · the moon passes underfoot · high activity
- 8:02–9:02 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.
