The sea at Spijkenisse
Sea stateSea state: smooth
The waves you may find
- Most commonMost common0.3 ft
- Significant0.6 ft
- Highest expectedHighest1.3 ft
One wave in seven is higher than the significant height, and about 3 times a day one reaches 1.3 ft. Before heading out, expect waves of up to 1.3 ft.
Wind on the coast and offshore
Onshore wind. The coast faces southwest 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 Monday 2: 1.6 ft with a period of 3 s, from the north-northeast (smooth).

Moon phase and position
Today the moon is 226,618 mi away and looks 32′ 45″ across.
Solunar periods
Today's activity: medium- 2:07–4:07 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity
- 2:40–4:40 pm Major · the moon passes underfoot · high activity
- 11:47 am–12:47 pm Minor · moonset · medium activity
- 6:31–7:31 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.
