Where this tide comes from
Rota has no station of its own, so we use the tide at Cádiz (TICON-4), 7.2 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 sea at Rota
Sea stateSea state: slight
The waves you may find
- Most commonMost common1.2 ft
- Significant2.4 ft
- Highest expectedHighest4.8 ft
One wave in seven is higher than the significant height, and about 3 times a day one reaches 4.8 ft. Before heading out, expect waves of up to 4.8 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.
Wave height, next 7 daysWaves, next 7 days
Waves stay much the same all week. The biggest waves arrive on Thursday 29: 2.5 ft with a period of 10 s, from the west (slight).
Water temperature

Today’s surf at a glance
The best window, 7:19 am to 11:00 am, has a good size and glassy water.
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 Rota today
Diving and snorkeling today
Likely visibility: good- Slack water around low tide (10:54 am): little current from 10:30 am to 11:20 am
- 2.0 ft swell at 10 s from the west: some surge on the bottom
- Light offshore wind (4 mph)
- 0.1 mph current toward the north, weak (model)
- Sun high: more light underwater
- Slack water today: high tide 4:47 am (4:30–5:10 am), low tide 10:54 am (10:30–11:20 am), high tide 5:18 pm (5:00–5:40 pm) and low tide 11:10 pm (10:50–11:40 pm)
- Likely visibility: good. Swell (up to 2.2 ft at 10 s) over the last few days has stirred up the water. Based on the last 24 hours of data.
- Water at 66.4–67.3 °F: a 5 mm wetsuit.
- Snorkeling: doable, with some waves or wind.
- Night dive: dark from 6:59 pm. Waning gibbous (85%), rising at 9:05 pm: a bright night.
Your diving day at a glance
The best window, 10:10 am to 11:50 am, combines slack water at low tide, light wind, weak current and the sun high. Also good from 4:40 pm to 6:00 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.

Solunar periods
Today's activity: medium- 2:52–4:52 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high 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. Shallow, gradual bottom (16 ft at 0.75 mi): cast far from the beach and fish the high tide, when there is more water close in.
- Swimming. A very gentle way in with plenty of shallow water, good for kids. At low tide the water can be far out.
- Diving. Shallow near shore: you only reach 33 ft at 1.3 mi. For dives deeper than 33 ft, go by boat.
