Where this tide comes from
Playa de San Juan de la Canal has no station of its own, so we use the tide at Santander (TICON-4), 5.2 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.

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

Today’s surf at a glance
The best window, 7:16 am to 11:00 am, has a good size and glassy water, 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.
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, 10:40 am to 11:50 am, combines slack water at low tide, light wind, weak current and the sun high, though with a big swell.
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.

Moon phase and position
Today the moon is 226,461 mi away and looks 32′ 47″ across.
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 fastThe bottom drops off fast: the water is 33 ft deep just 310 ft from shore. It reaches 164 ft at 1.9 mi.
From the shoreline (1,100 ft from Playa de San Juan de la Canal) out to sea, heading north.
How far from shore
- 16 ft deep210 ft
- 33 ft deep310 ft
- 66 ft deep0.35 mi
- 164 ft deep1.9 mi
For fishing, swimming and diving
- Shore fishing. Deep water close in: about 37 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 310 ft and 66 ft at 0.35 mi from shore.
Right by the shore the bottom may drop even faster than shown.
