Where this tide comes from

B · Nearby station

Rincón de la Victoria has no station of its own, so we use the tide at Málaga (TICON-4), 7.7 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.

Sea and waves

The sea at Rincón de la Victoria

7-day waves

Sea stateSea state: calm (rippled)

Calm (rippled) Douglas 1 · gentle breeze, Beaufort 3
Waves 0.2 ft · 2.7 s from the south (179°)

The waves you may find

  • Most commonMost common0.1 ft

  • Highest expectedHighest0.4 ft

One wave in seven is higher than the significant height, and about 3 times a day one reaches 0.4 ft. Before heading out, expect waves of up to 0.4 ft.

Wind on the coast and offshore

On the coast 5 mph N · gusts 12

Offshore wind. The coast faces south and the wind blows from land out to sea: calm shore and clean waves, but watch the drift out to sea.

Water warmer than normal for late October (+3.8 °F).

The best window, 7:11 am to 11:00 am, has glassy water, though with barely any waves.

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, 9:30 am to 11:00 am, combines slack water at low tide, little swell, light wind, weak current and the sun high. Also good from 4:30 pm to 5:50 pm, with slack water at high tide, little swell, light wind and weak current.

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
  • 2:43–4:43 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity
  • 3:16–5:16 pm Major · the moon passes underfoot · high activity
  • 11:05 am–12:05 pm Minor · moonset · medium activity
  • 8:26–9:26 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

Gentle slope

The bottom slopes gently: 16 ft deep 1,050 ft from shore and 33 ft at 0.35 mi. It reaches 164 ft at 1.3 mi.

From the shoreline (0.3 mi from Rincón de la Victoria) out to sea, heading south.

How far from shore

  • 16 ft deep1,050 ft
  • 33 ft deep0.35 mi
  • 66 ft deep0.55 mi
  • 164 ft deep1.3 mi

For fishing, swimming and diving

  • Shore fishing. Shallow, gradual bottom (16 ft at 1,050 ft): cast far from the beach and fish the high tide, when there is more water close in.
  • Swimming. The water gets deeper little by little, but a few dozen yards out you can no longer stand.
  • Diving. Shore diving works here: 33 ft at 0.35 mi and 66 ft at 0.55 mi from shore.
