The sea at Kuril’sk
Sea stateSea state: rough
The waves you may find
- Most commonMost common5.9 ft
- Significant12 ft
- Highest expectedHighest24 ft
One wave in seven is higher than the significant height, and about 3 times a day one reaches 24 ft. Before heading out, expect waves of up to 24 ft.
Wind on the coast and offshore
Cross-onshore wind. The coast faces northwest and the wind comes in from the sea at an angle: a bit more surf at the shore and drift along the coast, toward land.
Wave height, next 7 daysWaves, next 7 days
Waves stay much the same all week. The biggest waves arrive on Sunday 1: 18 ft with a period of 10 s, from the northwest (very rough).
Water temperature
Water temperature →Water temperature changes how fish behave: in very cold or very warm water they feed less. The water cools over the next few days: about 51.8 °F by Wednesday 4.
Water warmer than normal for late October (+3.2 °F).

Today’s surf at a glance
The best window, 6:00 pm to 6:32 pm, has a good size, though with big surf, a short-period swell and onshore wind. 7:12 am to 9:00 am can also work, with a good size, though with big surf and onshore wind.
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.

Likely visibility: poor- 11 ft waves: careful getting in and out
- Moderate onshore wind (17 mph)

- Slack water today: none; the tide doesn't count here
- Likely visibility: poor. Swell (up to 14 ft at 10 s) and rain (1.44 in) over the last few days have stirred up the water. Based on the last 24 hours of data.
- Water at 53.4 °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 6:32 pm. Waning gibbous (89%), rising at 7:44 pm: a bright night.
Your diving day at a glance
The best window, 2:30 pm to 5:30 pm, lines up with weak current, though with waves and moderate wind. Also worth a look from 9:50 am to 12:50 pm, with weak current and the sun high, though with a big swell and moderate wind.
We don't have a reliable tide for Kuril’sk, so slack water doesn't count in the rating.

Moon phase and position
Today the moon is 226,459 mi away and looks 32′ 47″ across.
Solunar periods
Today's activity: medium- 2:07–4:07 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity
- 2:39–4:39 pm Major · the moon passes underfoot · high activity
- 11:03 am–12:03 pm Minor · moonset · medium activity
- 7:14–8:14 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

- 66 ft deep0.75 mi
- 164 ft deep1.8 mi
For fishing, swimming and diving
- Shore fishing. Shallow, gradual bottom (16 ft at 0.65 mi): cast far from the beach and fish the high tide, when there is more water close in.
- 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 near shore: you only reach 33 ft at 0.7 mi. For dives deeper than 33 ft, go by boat.
Rough estimate: here the data comes in cells of about 0.3 mi and misses details near shore (rocks, sandbars, small coves).
Source: NOAA ETOPO 2022 (CC0), cells of about 0.3 mi; depth below mean sea level. For reference only: not for navigation or anchoring.
