Where this tide comes from
Playa Da Torre has no station of its own, so we use the tide at Vigo (TICON-4), 30 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 waves you may find
- Most commonMost common1.1 ft
- Significant2.3 ft
- Highest expectedHighest4.5 ft
One wave in seven is higher than the significant height, and about 3 times a day one reaches 4.5 ft. Before heading out, expect waves of up to 4.5 ft.
Wind on the coast and offshore
Offshore wind. The coast faces southwest and the wind blows from land out to sea: calm shore and clean waves, but watch the drift out to sea.

Your diving day at a glance
The best window, 10:50 am to 12:40 pm, combines slack water at low tide, light wind, weak current and the sun high. Also good from 5:10 pm to 6:30 pm, with slack water at high tide, light wind and weak current.
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.

Moon phase and position
Today the moon is 226,618 mi away and looks 32′ 45″ across.
Solunar periods
Today's activity: medium- 3:02–5:02 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity
- 3:34–5:34 pm Major · the moon passes underfoot · high activity
- 11:48 am–12:48 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
Very shallowVery shallow and flat: even 2.4 mi from shore the water is less than 16 ft deep.
From the shoreline out to sea, heading southwest.
How far from shore
- 16 ft deepnot within 2.4 mi
- 33 ft deepnot within 2.4 mi
- 66 ft deepnot within 2.4 mi
- 164 ft deepnot within 2.4 mi
For fishing, swimming and diving
- Shore fishing. About 7.5 ft of water 330 ft out: long casts help, and so does a rising tide, which brings fish closer in.
- Swimming. The water gets deeper little by little, but a few dozen yards out you can no longer stand.
- Diving. Shallow: the water doesn't reach 33 ft within 2.4 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) 2.4 mi out. Where the bottom comes up to the surface there are shoals, rocks or an islet next to the profile.
