Where this tide comes from

M · Global model

Camariñas has no tide station nearby: its tide is calculated with the global FES2022 model, from the nearest model cells offshore (the first one 2.6 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.

Model attribution: FES2022 Tide was produced by LEGOS, NOVELTIS and CLS, funded by CNES, and distributed by AVISO (https://doi.org/10.24400/527896/a01-2024.004), AVISO licence (https://www.aviso.altimetry.fr/fileadmin/documents/data/License_Aviso.pdf). Modified by TidePlanet: constants interpolated from the nearest model cells offshore; heights above mean sea level.

Sea and waves

The sea at Camariñas

7-day waves

Sea stateSea state: moderate

Moderate Douglas 4 · moderate breeze, Beaufort 4
Waves 8.2 ft · 11.1 s from the northwest (308°)

Current 0.2 mph toward the N

The waves you may find

  • Most commonMost common4.1 ft

  • Highest expectedHighest16 ft

One wave in seven is higher than the significant height, and about 3 times a day one reaches 16 ft. Before heading out, expect waves of up to 16 ft.

Wind on the coast and offshore

On the coast 4 mph SSE · gusts 8
Offshore (8.9 mi NNW)Offshore 14 mph S · gusts 17

Offshore wind. The coast faces northwest and the wind blows from land out to sea: calm shore and clean waves, but watch the drift out to sea.

Today’s surf at a glance

The best window, 8:00 am to 12:00 pm, has a good size and glassy water, though with big surf. 4:00 pm to 7:00 pm can also work, with a good size and glassy water, though with 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.

Your diving day at a glance

The best window, 5:10 pm to 6:30 pm, combines slack water at high tide, light wind and weak current, though with some 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.

Solunar periods

Today's activity: medium
  • 3:04–5:04 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity

  • 11:52 am–12:52 pm Minor · moonset · medium activity
  • 8:20–9:20 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

Drops off fast

The bottom drops off fast: the water is 33 ft deep just 70 ft from shore. It reaches 164 ft at 1.8 mi.

From the shoreline (1.3 mi from Camariñas) out to sea, heading northwest.

How far from shore

  • 16 ft deep40 ft
  • 33 ft deep70 ft
  • 66 ft deep140 ft
  • 164 ft deep1.8 mi

For fishing, swimming and diving

  • Shore fishing. Deep water close in: about 75 ft just 330 ft out. Good for casting from rocks, jetties or the beach itself; current and surf hit harder here.
  • 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. Shore diving works here: 33 ft at 70 ft and 66 ft at 140 ft from shore.

Right by the shore the bottom may drop even faster than shown.
