The waves you may find
- Most commonMost common3.0 ft
- Significant5.9 ft
- Highest expectedHighest12 ft
One wave in seven is higher than the significant height, and about 3 times a day one reaches 12 ft. Before heading out, expect waves of up to 12 ft.
Wind on the coast and offshore
Offshore wind. The coast faces northeast and the wind blows from land out to sea: calm shore and clean waves, but watch the drift out to sea.

Waves ease over the next few days. The biggest waves arrive on Wednesday 28: 9.3 ft with a period of 9 s, from the southwest (rough).
Water temperature

Likely visibility: poor- Tidal current running: mid-tide, the water is moving
- 4.0 ft swell at 8 s from the west-southwest: strong surge on the bottom
- Light offshore wind (10 mph)
- 0.5 mph current toward the northeast, weak (model)
- Daylight
Not a day for shore diving: swell, wind, current or storms during the best window. If you go, go with a dive shop and only if they give the OK.
- Slack water today: low tide 5:38 am (5:20–6:00 am), high tide 12:01 pm (11:40 am–12:20 pm) and low tide 5:56 pm (5:40–6:20 pm)
- Likely visibility: poor. Swell (up to 8.4 ft at 8 s), rain (0.63 in) and wind over the last few days have stirred up the water. Based on the last 24 hours of data.
- Water at 54.3 °F: a 7 mm semi-dry suit, with hood, gloves and booties.
- Snorkeling: better not, with these waves, wind or current.
- Night dive: dark from 5:38 pm. Waning gibbous (93%), rising at 4:32 pm: a bright night.
Your diving day at a glance
The best window, 3:30 pm to 5:40 pm, combines light wind and weak current, though with tidal current and some swell.
Slack water comes from the tide: in inlets, channels and between islands the water can keep running for an hour or two after. Ask the local dive shop.
Never dive alone and check with the local dive shop: this rating is a guide, not a substitute for a professional.

Today the moon is 226,461 mi away and looks 32′ 47″ across.
Solunar periods
Today's activity: high- 1:01–3:01 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity

- 11:55 am–12:55 pm Minor · moonset · medium activity
- 4:02–5:02 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
Drops off fastThe bottom drops off fast: the water is 33 ft deep just 550 ft from shore. It reaches 164 ft at 0.3 mi.
From the shoreline out to sea, heading northeast.

- 33 ft deep550 ft
- 66 ft deep650 ft
- 164 ft deep0.3 mi
For fishing, swimming and diving
- Shore fishing. 33 ft of water just 550 ft from shore: a good cast reaches deep water. Current and surf hit harder here.
- Swimming. The bottom drops quickly near the shore and you are soon out of your depth. Keep an eye on kids and weak swimmers.
- Diving. Shore diving works here: 33 ft at 550 ft and 66 ft at 650 ft from shore.
Inside bays, estuaries and harbors the bottom changes a lot from spot to spot (channels and shoals): use this only as a rough guide. There is land ahead (an island, a headland or the far shore) 2 mi out.
