Where this tide comes from
Suances has no station of its own, so we use the tide at Santander (TICON-4), 13 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 Suances
Sea stateSea state: moderate
The waves you may find
- Most commonMost common2.7 ft
- Significant5.3 ft
- Highest expectedHighest10 ft
One wave in seven is higher than the significant height, and about 3 times a day one reaches 10 ft. Before heading out, expect waves of up to 10 ft.
Wind on the coast and offshore
Offshore wind. The coast faces north 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 ease over the next few days. The biggest waves arrive on Thursday 29: 7.3 ft with a period of 12 s, from the northwest (moderate).
Water temperature
Water temperature →Water temperature changes how fish behave: in very cold or very warm water they feed less. The water is steady these days, with no sudden changes.

Surf in Suances today
Surf today
Good- 3.4–5.2 ft surf at the shore, a good size with some punch
- 4.1 ft swell at 10 s from the northwest, a bit short
- Light offshore wind (5 mph): it holds up and grooms the waves
- First or last light of the day
- Falling tide (low tide at 12:17 pm)
- Light: First light 7:18 am · sunrise 7:48 am · sunset 6:12 pm · last light 6:41 pm
- Tide: high 6:02 am (14.0 ft), low 12:17 pm (2.1 ft) and high 6:32 pm (13.4 ft). Every break has its own tide: some work at low tide and others at high tide. The tide doesn’t change the score here.
- Water at 62.6 °F: a 3/2 fullsuit.
- Energy: 281 kJ · Medium power
Today’s surf at a glance
The best window, 7:18 am to 11:00 am, has a good size and light offshore wind. 4:00 pm to 6:41 pm also works, with a good size.
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 Suances today
Diving and snorkeling today
Likely visibility: poor- Slack water around low tide (12:17 pm): little current from 12:00 pm to 12:40 pm
- 3.9 ft swell at 9 s from the northwest: strong surge on the bottom
- Almost no wind
- 0.3 mph current toward the west, weak (model)
- Sun high: more light underwater
- Slack water today: low tide 11:48 pm (11:30 pm–12:10 am), high tide 6:02 am (5:40–6:30 am), low tide 12:17 pm (12:00–12:40 pm) and high tide 6:32 pm (6:10–7:00 pm)
- Likely visibility: poor. Swell (up to 7.7 ft at 11 s) over the last few days has stirred up the water. Based on the last 24 hours of data.
- Water at 62.6 °F: a 7 mm wetsuit, with hood and booties.
- Snorkeling: better not, with these waves, wind or current.
- Night dive: dark from 6:41 pm. Waning gibbous (85%), rising at 8:27 pm: a bright night.
Your diving day at a glance
The best window, 11:30 am to 1:10 pm, combines slack water at low tide, light wind, weak current and the sun high, though with some swell. Also worth a look from 5:10 pm to 6:40 pm, with slack water at high tide, light wind and weak current, though with some 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.

Solunar periods
Today's activity: medium- 2:42–4:42 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity

- 11:32 am–12:32 pm Minor · moonset · 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.

For fishing, swimming and diving
- Shore fishing. 33 ft of water just 800 ft from shore: a good cast reaches deep water. Current and surf hit harder here.
- Swimming. The water gets deeper little by little, but a few dozen yards out you can no longer stand.
