Cross-offshore wind. The coast faces south and the wind comes off the land at an angle: calmer water near the shore, and bait and boats drift out to sea.

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.

Solunar periods

Today's activity: high
  • 1:53–3:53 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity
  • 2:24–4:24 pm Major · the moon passes underfoot · high activity
  • 10:08–11:08 am Minor · moonset · medium activity
  • 7:36–8:36 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: 0 ft at 490 ft.

From the shoreline (600 ft from Ayamonte) out to sea, heading south.

How far from shore

  • 16 ft deepnot within 490 ft
  • 33 ft deepnot within 490 ft
  • 66 ft deepnot within 490 ft
  • 164 ft deepnot within 490 ft

For fishing, swimming and diving

  • Shore fishing. Very shallow: the water doesn't reach 16 ft within 490 ft. Cast far from the beach, ideally around high tide.
  • 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: the water doesn't reach 33 ft within 490 ft. For deeper dives, take a boat farther out.

Inside bays, estuaries and harbors the bottom changes a lot from spot to spot (channels and shoals): use this only as a rough guide. There is land ahead (an island, a headland or the far shore) 490 ft out.
