The sea at Dapa
Sea stateSea state: smooth
The waves you may find
- Most commonMost common0.6 ft
- Significant1.2 ft
- Highest expectedHighest2.4 ft
One wave in seven is higher than the significant height, and about 3 times a day one reaches 2.4 ft. Before heading out, expect waves of up to 2.4 ft.
Wind on the coast and offshore
The model doesn't separate offshore wind here: it's the same as on the coast.
Onshore wind. The coast faces east 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 Tuesday 3: 1.8 ft with a period of 11 s, from the northeast (slight).

Solunar periods
Today's activity: medium- 12:39–2:39 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity
- 1:11–3:11 pm Major · the moon passes underfoot · high activity
- 7:45–8:45 am Minor · moonset · medium activity
- 7:36–8:36 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.
