Cross-offshore wind. The coast faces west and the wind comes off the land at an angle: calmer water near the shore, and bait and boats drift out to sea.

Today’s surf at a glance

The best window, 5:00 pm to 6:00 pm, has a good size and glassy water, though with big surf. 8:00 am to 12:00 pm can also work, with a good size and glassy water, though with big surf.

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.

Your diving day at a glance

The best window, 11:30 am to 12:30 pm, combines light wind, weak current and the sun high, though with a big swell. Also worth a look from 9:20 am to 10:30 am, with light wind, weak current and the sun high, though with a big swell.

We don't have a reliable tide for Aveiro, so slack water doesn't count in the rating.

Never dive alone and check with the local dive shop: this rating is a guide, not a substitute for a professional.

Solunar periods

Today's activity: high
  • 12:58–2:58 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity
  • 1:29–3:29 pm Major · the moon passes underfoot · high activity
  • 9:26–10:26 am Minor · moonset · medium activity
  • 6:28–7:28 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

Shallow, gradual

Shallow, gradual bottom: 16 ft at 0.3 mi from shore and 5.6 ft at 0.4 mi. Right off the beach it already drops to about 10 ft.

From the shoreline (1.2 mi from Aveiro) out to sea, heading west.

How far from shore

  • 16 ft deep0.3 mi
  • 33 ft deepnot within 0.4 mi
  • 66 ft deepnot within 0.4 mi
  • 164 ft deepnot within 0.4 mi

For fishing, swimming and diving

  • Shore fishing. About 10 ft of water 330 ft out: long casts help, and so does a rising tide, which brings fish closer in.
  • 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. Shallow: the water doesn't reach 33 ft within 0.4 mi. For deeper dives, take a boat farther out.

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) 0.4 mi out.
