Your day at a glance

The best window, 3:50 am to 4:50 am, combines the 4:47 am high tide, a major period and some swell. Also worth a try from 4:20 pm to 5:20 pm, with the 5:18 pm high tide, a major period and some swell, though with moderate wind. Also worth a try from 11:10 am to 11:50 am, with the 10:54 am low tide, moonset and some swell, though with moderate wind.

Species with the most records nearby: European squid, European hake, Atlantic horse mackerel and common cuttlefish. October is one of the months when these are seen most: small-spotted catshark. What you can catch

Where this tide comes from

B · Nearby station

Sancti Petri has no station of its own, so we use the tide at Cádiz (TICON-4), 11 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.

Today’s surf at a glance

The best window, 7:18 am to 10:00 am, has a good size and glassy water. 11:00 am to 12:00 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.

Your diving day at a glance

The best window, 5:30 pm to 6:10 pm, combines 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.

Never dive alone and check with the local dive shop: this rating is a guide, not a substitute for a professional.

Solunar periods

Today's activity: medium
  • 2:51–4:51 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity

  • 11:12 am–12:12 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

Shallow, gradual

Shallow, gradual bottom: you need to go 1.1 mi out for 33 ft of water.

From the shoreline (0.3 mi from Sancti Petri) out to sea, heading southwest.

How far from shore

  • 16 ft deep0.95 mi
  • 33 ft deep1.1 mi
  • 66 ft deep2.9 mi
  • 164 ft deepnot within 3.1 mi

For fishing, swimming and diving

  • Shore fishing. Shallow, gradual bottom (16 ft at 0.95 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 1.1 mi. For dives deeper than 33 ft, go by boat.
