Today’s surf at a glance

The best window, 7:00 am to 11:00 am, has a good size and glassy water. 12:00 pm to 1:00 pm also works, with a good size and glassy water.

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 2:30 pm, combines light wind, weak current and the sun high, though with some swell. Also worth a look from 7:30 am to 10:30 am, with light wind and weak current, though with some swell.

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

Solunar periods

Today's activity: medium
  • 2:01–4:01 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity
  • 2:34–4:34 pm Major · the moon passes underfoot · high activity
  • 10:39–11:39 am Minor · moonset · medium activity
  • 7:28–8:28 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

Very shallow

Very shallow and flat: even 1.2 mi from shore the water is less than 16 ft deep.

From the shoreline (2.2 mi from Murtosa) out to sea, heading west.

How far from shore

  • 16 ft deepnot within 1.2 mi
  • 33 ft deepnot within 1.2 mi
  • 66 ft deepnot within 1.2 mi
  • 164 ft deepnot within 1.2 mi

For fishing, swimming and diving

  • Shore fishing. Very shallow: the water doesn't reach 16 ft within 1.2 mi. Cast far from the beach, ideally around high tide.
  • Swimming. A very gentle way in with plenty of shallow water, good for kids. At low tide the water can be far out.
  • Diving. Shallow: the water doesn't reach 33 ft within 1.2 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) 1.2 mi out.
