Where this tide comes from
La Santa has no station of its own, so we use the tide at Arrecife (UHSLC, TICON-4), 12 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 La Santa
Sea stateSea state: moderate
The waves you may find
- Most commonMost common3.4 ft
- Significant6.8 ft
- Highest expectedHighest13 ft
One wave in seven is higher than the significant height, and about 3 times a day one reaches 13 ft. Before heading out, expect waves of up to 13 ft.
Wind on the coast and offshore
Onshore wind. The coast faces northwest and the wind blows straight in from the sea: more surf and backwash at the shore, and bait and boats drift toward land.
Wave height, next 7 daysWaves, next 7 days
Waves stay much the same all week. The biggest waves arrive on Thursday 29: 6.8 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.

- Falling tide (high tide at 2:37 pm)
- Light: First light 6:40 am · sunrise 7:04 am · sunset 6:12 pm · last light 6:36 pm
- Tide: high 2:14 am (9.4 ft), low 8:21 am (1.1 ft), high 2:37 pm (9.2 ft) and low 8:39 pm (1.5 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.

- Energy: 284 kJ · Medium power
Today’s surf at a glance
The best window, 7:00 am to 11:00 am, has a good size and glassy water. 6:00 pm to 6:36 pm also works, with a good size and glassy water.
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.

- Night dive: dark from 6:36 pm. Waning gibbous (92%), rising at 7:58 pm: a bright night.
Your diving day at a glance
The best window, 7:30 am to 9:10 am, combines slack water at low tide, light wind and weak current, though with some swell. Also worth a look from 2:10 pm to 3:00 pm, with slack water at high 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.

Moon phase and position
Today the moon is 226,451 mi away and looks 32′ 47″ across.
Solunar periods
Today's activity: medium- 1:19–3:19 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity
- 1:50–3:50 pm Major · the moon passes underfoot · high activity
- 9:10–10:10 am Minor · moonset · medium activity
- 7:28–8:28 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 360 ft from shore. It reaches 164 ft at 0.4 mi.
From the shoreline (800 ft from La Santa) out to sea, heading northwest.
How far from shore
- 16 ft deep140 ft
- 33 ft deep360 ft
- 66 ft deep750 ft
- 164 ft deep0.4 mi
For fishing, swimming and diving
- Shore fishing. Deep water close in: about 31 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 360 ft and 66 ft at 750 ft from shore.
Right by the shore the bottom may drop even faster than shown.
