Semidiurnal: two high and two low tides a day, of similar height.

Sea and waves

One wave in seven is higher than the significant height, and about 3 times a day one reaches 16 ft. Before heading out, expect waves of up to 16 ft.

Wind on the coast and offshore

On the coast 19 mph E · gusts 26

The model doesn't separate offshore wind here: it's the same as on the coast.

Cross-shore wind. The coast faces north and the wind blows along the shore: drift and current run parallel to the beach.

The best window, 7:16 am to 11:00 am, has a good size and light offshore wind, though with big surf.

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.

Your diving day at a glance

The best window, 9:20 am to 12:20 pm, combines slack water at low tide, weak current and the sun high, though with tidal current, a big swell and fresh wind.

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: high
  • 1:38–3:38 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity

  • 10:18–11:18 am Minor · moonset · medium activity
  • 6:56–7:56 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

Drops off fast

The bottom drops off fast: the water is 33 ft deep just 280 ft from shore. It reaches 164 ft at 1.8 mi.

From the shoreline (1,050 ft from Playa de la Virgen del Mar) out to sea, heading north.

How far from shore

  • 16 ft deep120 ft
  • 33 ft deep280 ft
  • 66 ft deep0.35 mi
  • 164 ft deep1.8 mi

For fishing, swimming and diving

  • Shore fishing. Deep water close in: about 38 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 280 ft and 66 ft at 0.35 mi from shore.

Right by the shore the bottom may drop even faster than shown.
