The sea at Praia de Samil
Sea stateSea state: moderate
The waves you may find
- Most commonMost common2.7 ft
- Significant5.4 ft
- Highest expectedHighest11 ft
One wave in seven is higher than the significant height, and about 3 times a day one reaches 11 ft. Before heading out, expect waves of up to 11 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: 7.7 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).

Surf in Praia de Samil today
Surf today
Good- 4.0–6.2 ft surf at the shore, a good size with some punch
- 5.4 ft swell at 9 s from the west-northwest, a bit short
- Almost no wind (4 mph): glassy water
- Falling tide (low tide at 11:42 am)
- Light: First light 7:35 am · sunrise 8:04 am · sunset 6:33 pm · last light 7:02 pm
- Tide: high 5:27 am (11.9 ft), low 11:42 am (1.8 ft), high 5:56 pm (11.3 ft) and low 11:58 pm (2.5 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.
- Water at 58.6 °F: a 4/3 fullsuit (booties if you run cold).
- Energy: 409 kJ · Medium power
Today’s surf at a glance
The best window, 8:00 am to 12:00 pm, has a good size and glassy water. 6:00 pm to 7:00 pm can also work, with a good size and glassy water, though with a short-period swell.
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.
Diving in Praia de Samil today
Diving and snorkeling today
Likely visibility: poor- Slack water around low tide (11:42 am): little current from 11:20 am to 12:00 pm
- 5.1 ft swell at 8 s from the west-northwest: strong surge on the bottom
- Light cross-shore wind (6 mph)
- 0.1 mph current toward the north, weak (model)
- Sun high: more light underwater
- Slack water today: high tide 5:27 am (5:10–5:50 am), low tide 11:42 am (11:20 am–12:00 pm), high tide 5:56 pm (5:30–6:20 pm) and low tide 11:58 pm (11:30 pm–12:20 am)
- Likely visibility: poor. Swell (up to 11 ft at 10 s) over the last few days has stirred up the water. Based on the last 24 hours of data.
- Water at 58.6 °F: a 7 mm wetsuit, with hood and booties.
- Snorkeling: better not, with these waves, wind or current.
- Night dive: dark from 7:02 pm. Waning gibbous (85%), rising at 8:52 pm: a bright night.
Your diving day at a glance
The best window, 11:30 am to 12:40 pm, combines slack water at low tide, light wind, weak current and the sun high, though with some swell. Also worth a look from 5:10 pm to 6:40 pm, with slack water at high tide, light wind and weak current, though with some 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.
Never dive alone and check with the local dive shop: this rating is a guide, not a substitute for a professional.

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
- 3:34–5:34 pm Major · the moon passes underfoot · high activity
- 11:46 am–12:46 pm Minor · moonset · medium activity
- 8:22–9:22 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 300 ft from shore and 33 ft at 0.45 mi. Right off the beach it already drops to about 16 ft.
From the shoreline out to sea, heading west.
How far from shore
- 16 ft deep300 ft
- 33 ft deep0.45 mi
- 66 ft deep2 mi
- 164 ft deepnot within 3.1 mi
For fishing, swimming and diving
- Shore fishing. Deep water close in: about 16 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. 33 ft deep 0.45 mi from shore; 66 ft is far out (2 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. Right by the shore the bottom may drop even faster than shown.
