The waves you may find
- Most commonMost common3.1 ft

One wave in seven is higher than the significant height, and about 3 times a day one reaches 12 ft. Before heading out, expect waves of up to 12 ft.
Wind on the coast and offshore
Offshore wind. The coast faces north and the wind blows from land out to sea: calm shore and clean waves, but watch the drift out to sea.
Wave height, next 7 daysWaves, next 7 days
Waves ease over the next few days. The biggest waves arrive on Wednesday 28: 8.7 ft with a period of 12 s, from the northwest (rough).
Water temperature
Water temperature →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.

Surf in Playa del Matadero today
Surf today
Good- 5.7–8.8 ft surf at the shore, big
- Big surf (8.8 ft): for experienced surfers
- 7.7 ft swell at 11 s from the northwest, average
- Light offshore wind (6 mph): it holds up and grooms the waves
- Falling tide (low tide at 11:13 am)
Big surf: for experienced surfers only. If in doubt, stay on the beach.
- Light: First light 7:34 am · sunrise 8:04 am · sunset 6:31 pm · last light 7:00 pm
- Tide: high 5:02 am (12.9 ft), low 11:13 am (1.6 ft), high 5:27 pm (12.6 ft) and low 11:30 pm (2.0 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 59.0 °F: a 4/3 fullsuit (booties if you run cold).
- Energy: 1,207 kJ · High power
Today’s surf at a glance
The best window, 8:00 am to 12:00 pm, has a good size and light offshore wind, though with big surf. 3:00 pm to 4:00 pm can also work, with a good size, 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 Playa del Matadero today
Diving and snorkeling today
Likely visibility: poor- Slack water around low tide (11:13 am): little current from 10:50 am to 11:30 am
- 7.7 ft swell at 11 s from the northwest: heavy surge on the bottom
- Light offshore wind (5 mph)
- 0.2 mph current toward the west-southwest, 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 5:02 am (4:40–5:20 am), low tide 11:13 am (10:50–11:30 am), high tide 5:27 pm (5:10–5:50 pm) and low tide 11:30 pm (11:10–11:50 pm)
- Likely visibility: poor. Swell (up to 8.7 ft at 10 s) and rain (0.30 in) over the last few days have stirred up the water. Based on the last 24 hours of data.
- Water at 59.0 °F: a 7 mm wetsuit, with hood and booties.
- Snorkeling: better not, with these waves, wind or current.
- Night dive: dark from 7:00 pm. Waning gibbous (93%), rising at 7:46 pm: a bright night.
Your diving day at a glance
The best window, 10:20 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 4:50 pm to 6:10 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 226,461 mi away and looks 32′ 47″ across.
Solunar periods
Today's activity: high- 1:57–3:57 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity
- 2:28–4:28 pm Major · the moon passes underfoot · high activity
- 10:37–11:37 am Minor · moonset · medium activity
- 7:16–8:16 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.
