Where this tide comes from
Santa has no tide station nearby: its tide is calculated with the global EOT20 model, from the nearest model cells offshore (the first one 4.1 mi away). It may differ from the real tide by a few minutes and inches, and more with wind or storms. Heights are above mean sea level, not chart datum, so low tides are negative. Not for navigation.

The sea at Santa
Sea stateSea state: slight
The waves you may find
- Most commonMost common1.0 ft
- Significant2.1 ft
- Highest expectedHighest4.2 ft
One wave in seven is higher than the significant height, and about 3 times a day one reaches 4.2 ft. Before heading out, expect waves of up to 4.2 ft.
Wind on the coast and offshore
Offshore wind. The coast faces southwest and the wind blows from land out to sea: calm shore and clean waves, but watch the drift out to sea.
Wave height, next 7 daysWaves, next 7 days
Waves stay much the same all week. The biggest waves arrive on Thursday 29: 3.0 ft with a period of 7 s, from the north-northwest (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.

Surf in Santa today
Surf today
Poor- 0.8–1.2 ft surf at the shore, small: good for learning or a longboard
- 1.9 ft swell at 7 s from the north, short: weak, messy waves; it hits this coast at an angle
- Light offshore wind (10 mph): it holds up and grooms the waves
- Falling tide (low tide at 7:39 am)
- Light: First light 5:33 am · sunrise 5:56 am · sunset 5:28 pm · last light 5:50 pm
- Tide: low 7:39 am (-1.2 ft) and high 10:30 pm (2.1 ft). Every break has its own tide: some work at low tide and others at high tide. The tide doesn’t change the score here.
- Water at 86.0 °F: boardshorts or a swimsuit and a rash guard.
- Energy: 28 kJ · Low power
Today’s surf at a glance
The best window, 6:00 am to 10:00 am, has light offshore wind, though with small waves and 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.
Diving in Santa today
Diving and snorkeling today
Likely visibility: good- 1.9 ft swell at 6 s from the north-northwest: some surge on the bottom
- Light offshore wind (5 mph)
- 0.5 mph current toward the north-northwest, weak (model)
- Sun high: more light underwater
- Slack water today: low tide 7:39 am (7:00–8:20 am) and high tide 10:30 pm (10:10–10:50 pm)
- Likely visibility: good. Swell (up to 3.2 ft at 6 s) over the last few days has stirred up the water. Based on the last 24 hours of data.
- Water at 86.0 °F: a shorty or a rash guard.
- Snorkeling: doable, with some waves or wind.
- Night dive: dark from 5:50 pm. Waning gibbous (88%), rising at 8:11 pm: a bright night.
Your diving day at a glance
The best window, 8:30 am to 11:30 am, combines light wind, weak current and the sun high. Also worth a look from 6:30 am to 7:30 am, with slack water at low tide and light wind, though with current.
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.

Moon phase and position
Today the moon is 226,493 mi away and looks 32′ 46″ across.
Solunar periods
Today's activity: medium- 1:02–3:02 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity
- 1:34–3:34 pm Major · the moon passes underfoot · high activity
- 8:26–9:26 am Minor · moonset · medium activity
- 7:41–8:41 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.

For fishing, swimming and diving
- Shore fishing. 33 ft of water just 850 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 850 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).
