Where this tide comes from
Playa de la Barrosa has no station of its own, so we use the tide at Cádiz (TICON-4), 15 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.

- First or last light of the day
- Falling tide (low tide at 10:54 am)
- Light: First light 7:18 am · sunrise 7:45 am · sunset 6:32 pm · last light 6:58 pm
- Tide: high 4:47 am (11.4 ft), low 10:54 am (1.8 ft), high 5:18 pm (10.8 ft) and low 11:10 pm (2.6 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 66.6 °F: a springsuit or a 2 mm fullsuit.
- Energy: 128 kJ · Medium power
Today’s surf at a glance
The best window, 7:18 am to 10:00 am, has a good size and light offshore wind. 11:00 am to 1:00 pm also works, with 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.

- Night dive: dark from 6:58 pm. Waning gibbous (85%), rising at 9:05 pm: a bright night.
Your diving day at a glance
The best window, 4:30 pm to 6:10 pm, combines slack water at high tide and weak current, though with moderate wind. Also worth a look from 10:00 am to 11:30 am, with slack water at low tide and the sun high, though with some swell, moderate wind and 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- 2:51–4:51 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity

- 11:11 am–12:11 pm Minor · moonset · medium activity
- 8:35–9:35 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
Deepens quicklyThe bottom deepens quickly: 33 ft of water 1,100 ft from shore.
From the shoreline out to sea, heading southwest.
How far from shore
- 16 ft deep260 ft
- 33 ft deep1,100 ft
- 66 ft deepnot within 3.1 mi
- 164 ft deepnot within 3.1 mi
For fishing, swimming and diving
- Shore fishing. Deep water close in: about 21 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. 33 ft deep 1,100 ft from shore; 66 ft is far out (beyond 3.1 mi): for deeper dives, go by boat.
Right by the shore the bottom may drop even faster than shown.
