The water rises and falls 10.1 ft between the highest high and the lowest low: a large range for this place. 70 is an average tide here; 90 and above means spring tides; below 45, neap tides.

2026 extremes: the highest tide of the year is on December 26 (12.6 ft) and the lowest, on August 13 (0.6 ft).

Semidiurnal: two high and two low tides a day, of similar height.

Where this tide comes from

B · Nearby station

Playa de Trabesada has no station of its own, so we use the tide at Vigo (TICON-4), 5.4 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.

How we calculate the tide

Sea and waves

The sea at Playa de Trabesada

7-day waves

Sea stateSea state: slight

Slight Douglas 3 · light air, Beaufort 1
Waves 3.5 ft · 11.4 s from the west-northwest (287°)
Swell 3.5 ft · 9.6 s from the west-northwest
Current 0.1 mph toward the N

The waves you may find

  • Most commonMost common1.8 ft
  • Significant3.5 ft
  • Highest expectedHighest7.0 ft

One wave in seven is higher than the significant height, and about 3 times a day one reaches 7.0 ft. Before heading out, expect waves of up to 7.0 ft.

Wind on the coast and offshore

On the coast 1 mph NNE · gusts 3

Cross-shore wind. The coast faces east and the wind blows along the shore: drift and current run parallel to the beach.

Water now57.7 °F
Today 57.7–58.3 °F air: 53 / 65 °F
Satellite (2 days ago) 60.4 °F measured 0.4 mi away

The satellite measured 2.7 °F more 2 days ago than the model gives now: the water is probably warmer than the forecast says.

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).

Your diving day at a glance

The best window, 10:50 am to 12:40 pm, combines slack water at low tide, light wind, weak current and the sun high. Also good from 5:10 pm to 6:30 pm, with slack water at high tide, 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.

Never dive alone and check with the local dive shop: this rating is a guide, not a substitute for a professional.

  • 11:46 am–12:46 pm Minor · moonset · medium activity
  • 8:21–9:21 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

Deepens quickly

The bottom deepens quickly: 33 ft of water 800 ft from shore.

From the shoreline out to sea, heading east.

How far from shore

  • 16 ft deep550 ft
  • 33 ft deep800 ft
  • 66 ft deepnot within 1.8 mi
  • 164 ft deepnot within 1.8 mi

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.
  • Diving. 33 ft deep 800 ft from shore; 66 ft is far out (beyond 1.8 mi): for deeper dives, go by boat.

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) 1.8 mi out.
