Where this tide comes from
Playa de Torbas has no tide station nearby: its tide is calculated with the global FES2022 model, from the nearest model cells offshore (the first one 1.1 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.
The sea at Playa de Torbas
Sea stateSea state: moderate
The waves you may find
- Most commonMost common3.7 ft
- Significant7.3 ft
- Highest expectedHighest15 ft
One wave in seven is higher than the significant height, and about 3 times a day one reaches 15 ft. Before heading out, expect waves of up to 15 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 stay much the same all week. The biggest waves arrive on Thursday 29: 7.7 ft with a period of 10 s, from the north-northwest (moderate).
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 58.1 °F by Wednesday 4.
Water about normal for late October.

Surf in Playa de Torbas today
Surf today
Good- 3.8–5.9 ft surf at the shore, a good size with some punch
- 5.1 ft swell at 9 s from the northwest, a bit short
- Light offshore wind (7 mph): it holds up and grooms the waves
- First or last light of the day
- Falling tide (low tide at 12:09 pm)
- Light: First light 7:29 am · sunrise 7:59 am · sunset 6:22 pm · last light 6:52 pm
- Tide: high 5:57 am (5.8 ft), low 12:09 pm (-5.8 ft) and high 6:25 pm (5.1 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 61.0 °F: a 4/3 fullsuit.
- Energy: 394 kJ · Medium power
Today’s surf at a glance
The best window, 7:29 am to 11:00 am, has a good size and light offshore 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.
Diving in Playa de Torbas today
Diving and snorkeling today

- Likely visibility: poor. Swell (up to 9.5 ft at 10 s) over the last few days has stirred up the water. Based on the last 24 hours of data.
- Water at 61.0 °F: a 7 mm wetsuit, with hood and booties.
- Snorkeling: better not, with these waves, wind or current.
- Night dive: dark from 6:52 pm. Waning gibbous (85%), rising at 8:38 pm: a bright night.
Your diving day at a glance
The best window, 5:30 pm to 6:20 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.

Moon phase and position
Today the moon is 226,618 mi away and looks 32′ 45″ across.
Solunar periods
Today's activity: medium- 2:54–4:54 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity
- 3:26–5:26 pm Major · the moon passes underfoot · high activity
- 11:44 am–12:44 pm Minor · moonset · medium activity
- 8:08–9:08 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. Deep water close in: about 6.9 ft just 330 ft out. Good for casting from rocks, jetties or the beach itself; current and surf hit harder here.
- Swimming. The water gets deeper little by little, but a few dozen yards out you can no longer stand.
