Where this tide comes from
Sandy Bay Beach has no station of its own, so we use the tide at Cape Town (TICON-4), 9.8 mi away. On the open coast the difference is usually a few minutes and inches; inside estuaries, rivers and enclosed bays it can be much larger.

The sea at Sandy Bay Beach
Sea stateSea state: rough
The waves you may find
- Most commonMost common4.3 ft
- Significant8.6 ft
- Highest expectedHighest17 ft
One wave in seven is higher than the significant height, and about 3 times a day one reaches 17 ft. Before heading out, expect waves of up to 17 ft.
Wind on the coast and offshore
Cross-shore wind. The coast faces west and the wind blows along the shore: drift and current run parallel to the beach.
Wave height, next 7 daysWaves, next 7 days
Waves ease over the next few days. The biggest waves arrive on Thursday 29: 8.9 ft with a period of 13 s, from the southwest (rough).
Water temperature
Water temperature →The satellite measured 5.6 °F more 2 days ago than the model gives now: the water is probably warmer than the forecast says.
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.
Water colder than normal for late October (−2.4 °F).

Surf in Sandy Bay Beach today
Surf today
Very good- 5.2–8.0 ft surf at the shore, a good size with some punch
- Big surf (8.0 ft): for experienced surfers
- 7.7 ft swell at 10 s from the southwest, average
- Light offshore wind (11 mph): it holds up and grooms the waves
- Rising tide (low tide at 11:31 pm)
Big surf: for experienced surfers only. If in doubt, stay on the beach.
- Light: First light 5:23 am · sunrise 5:49 am · sunset 7:12 pm · last light 7:39 pm
- Tide: high 4:58 am (5.3 ft), low 11:01 am (1.2 ft), high 5:16 pm (5.4 ft) and low 11:31 pm (1.0 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 56.5 °F–59.2 °F: a 5/4 fullsuit with booties (and a hood if it’s windy).
- Energy: 1,176 kJ · High power
Today’s surf at a glance
The best window, 4:00 pm to 7:39 pm, has a good size and light offshore wind, 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.
Diving in Sandy Bay Beach today
Diving and snorkeling today
Likely visibility: poor- Slack water around low tide (11:01 am): little current from 10:30 am to 11:30 am
- 8.7 ft swell at 11 s from the southwest: heavy surge on the bottom
- Almost no wind
- 0.3 mph current toward the southeast, weak (model)
- Sun high: more light underwater
Not a day for shore diving: swell, wind, current or storms during the best window. If you go, go with a dive shop and only if they give the OK.
- Slack water today: high tide 4:58 am (4:40–5:20 am), low tide 11:01 am (10:30–11:30 am), high tide 5:16 pm (4:50–5:40 pm) and low tide 11:31 pm (11:00 pm–12:00 am)
- Likely visibility: poor. Swell (up to 8.7 ft at 11 s) over the last few days has stirred up the water. Based on the last 24 hours of data.
- Water at 56.5–59.2 °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 7:39 pm. Waning gibbous (86%), rising at 11:25 pm: a bright night.
Your diving day at a glance
The best window, 10:00 am to 12:10 pm, combines slack water at low tide, light wind, weak current and the sun high, though with a big swell. Also worth a look from 4:30 pm to 5:30 pm, with slack water at high tide, light wind and weak current, though with a big swell.
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 226,597 mi away and looks 32′ 45″ across.
Solunar periods
Today's activity: medium- 2:09–4:09 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity
- 2:41–4:41 pm Major · the moon passes underfoot · high activity
- 7:28–8:28 am Minor · moonset · medium activity
- 10:55–11:55 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. Shallow, gradual bottom (16 ft at 0.85 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 0.85 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).
