Where this tide comes from
Playa Area Fofa has no station of its own, so we use the tide at Vigo (TICON-4), 8.0 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 Playa Area Fofa
Sea stateSea state: moderate
The waves you may find
- Most commonMost common3.8 ft
- Significant7.5 ft
- Highest expectedHighest15 ft
One wave in seven is higher than the significant height, and about 3 times a day one reaches 15 ft. Before heading out, expect waves of up to 15 ft.
Wind on the coast and offshore
Cross-offshore wind. The coast faces west and the wind comes off the land at an angle: calmer water near the shore, and bait and boats 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: 7.8 ft with a period of 11 s, from the west-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.
Water colder than normal for late October (−1.7 °F).

The best window, 8:00 am to 12:00 pm, has a good size and glassy water. 5:00 pm to 7:00 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.

- Night dive: dark from 7:02 pm. Waning gibbous (85%), rising at 8:53 pm: a bright night.
Your diving day at a glance
The best window, 5:00 pm to 6:30 pm, combines slack water at high tide, light wind and weak current, though with some swell. Also worth a look from 11:10 am to 12:10 pm, with 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.

Moon phase and position
Today the moon is 226,618 mi away and looks 32′ 45″ across.
Solunar periods
Today's activity: medium- 3:02–5:02 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity

- 11:46 am–12:46 pm Minor · moonset · medium activity
- 8:23–9:23 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 slopeThe bottom slopes gently: 16 ft deep 310 ft from shore and 33 ft at 0.4 mi. Right off the beach it already drops to about 18 ft. It reaches 164 ft at 2.2 mi.
From the shoreline (1.1 mi from Playa Area Fofa) out to sea, heading west.
How far from shore
- 16 ft deep310 ft
- 33 ft deep0.4 mi
- 66 ft deep0.95 mi
- 164 ft deep2.2 mi
For fishing, swimming and diving
- Shore fishing. Deep water close in: about 18 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 0.4 mi and 66 ft at 0.95 mi from shore.
Inside bays, estuaries and harbors the bottom changes a lot from spot to spot (channels and shoals): use this only as a rough guide. Right by the shore the bottom may drop even faster than shown.
