The sea at Playa de Santa Bárbara
Sea stateSea state: smooth
The waves you may find
- Most commonMost common0.7 ft
- Significant1.3 ft
- Highest expectedHighest2.9 ft
One wave in seven is higher than the significant height, and about 3 times a day one reaches 2.9 ft. Before heading out, expect waves of up to 2.9 ft.
Wind on the coast and offshore
Cross-onshore wind. The coast faces east and the wind comes in from the sea at an angle: a bit more surf at the shore and drift along the coast, toward land.
Wave height, next 7 daysWaves, next 7 days
Waves stay much the same all week. The biggest waves arrive on Wednesday 4: 3.1 ft with a period of 6 s, from the east (slight).
Water temperature
Water temperature →The satellite measured 4.7 °F less 2 days ago than the model gives now: the water is probably colder than the forecast says.
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 68.3 °F by Wednesday 4.
Water warmer than normal for late October (+4.5 °F).

Today’s surf at a glance
The best window is 7:15 am to 11:00 am, though with a short-period swell and wind 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.

Solunar periods
Today's activity: medium- 2:48–4:48 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity

- 11:07 am–12:07 pm Minor · moonset · medium activity
- 8:32–9:32 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

- 66 ft deep0.65 mi
- 164 ft deep1.2 mi
For fishing, swimming and diving
- Shore fishing. Deep water close in: about 9.8 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 950 ft and 66 ft at 0.65 mi from shore.
