Your day at a glance

The best window, 3:20 pm to 4:30 pm, combines the 4:18 pm high tide, a major period, a light onshore breeze and some swell. Also worth a try from 2:50 am to 4:00 am, with the 3:54 am high tide, a major period and some swell, though with rising pressure.

Species with the most records nearby: European hake, small-spotted catshark, Atlantic horse mackerel and Atlantic mackerel. October is one of the months when these are seen most: small-spotted catshark. What you can catch

Where this tide comes from

M · Global model

Redondela has no tide station nearby: its tide is calculated with the global FES2022 model, from the nearest model cells offshore (the first one 1.7 mi away). It may differ from the real tide by a few minutes and inches, and more with wind or storms. Heights are above mean sea level, not chart datum, so low tides are negative. Not for navigation.

Model attribution: FES2022 Tide was produced by LEGOS, NOVELTIS and CLS, funded by CNES, and distributed by AVISO (https://doi.org/10.24400/527896/a01-2024.004), AVISO licence (https://www.aviso.altimetry.fr/fileadmin/documents/data/License_Aviso.pdf). Modified by TidePlanet: constants interpolated from the nearest model cells offshore; heights above mean sea level.

How we calculate the tide

Sea and waves

The sea at Redondela

7-day waves

Sea stateSea state: slight

Slight Douglas 3 · light air, Beaufort 1
Waves 3.6 ft · 11.5 s from the west-northwest (288°)
Swell 3.6 ft · 9.7 s from the west-northwest
Current 0.1 mph toward the N

The waves you may find

  • Most commonMost common1.8 ft
  • Significant3.6 ft
  • Highest expectedHighest7.2 ft

One wave in seven is higher than the significant height, and about 3 times a day one reaches 7.2 ft. Before heading out, expect waves of up to 7.2 ft.

Wind on the coast and offshore

On the coast 1 mph ESE · gusts 1
Offshore (7.5 mi WSW)Offshore 3 mph S · gusts 7

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

Waves stay much the same all week. The biggest waves arrive on Wednesday 28: 4.3 ft with a period of 12 s, from the west-northwest (moderate).

Water now57.7 °F
Today 57.4–57.9 °F air: 51 / 69 °F
Satellite (yesterday) 60.4 °F measured 0.5 mi away

The satellite measured 2.7 °F more yesterday 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 warms over the next few days: about 58.6 °F by Tuesday 3.

Water colder than normal for late October (−1.8 °F).

Your diving day at a glance

The best window, 3:30 pm to 4:50 pm, combines slack water at high tide, light wind, weak current and the sun high, though with some swell. Also worth a look from 9:00 am to 11:00 am, with slack water at low 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.

Solunar periods

Today's activity: high
  • 1:58–3:58 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity
  • 2:29–4:29 pm Major · the moon passes underfoot · high activity
  • 10:33–11:33 am Minor · moonset · medium activity
  • 7:21–8:21 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

Shallow, gradual

Shallow, gradual bottom: 16 ft at 140 ft from shore and 0 ft at 2.6 mi. Right off the beach it already drops to about 25 ft.

From the shoreline (0.8 mi from Redondela) out to sea, heading northwest.

How far from shore

  • 16 ft deep140 ft
  • 33 ft deepnot within 2.6 mi
  • 66 ft deepnot within 2.6 mi
  • 164 ft deepnot within 2.6 mi

For fishing, swimming and diving

  • Shore fishing. Deep water close in: about 25 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. Shallow: the water doesn't reach 33 ft within 2.6 mi. For deeper dives, take a boat farther out.

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) 2.6 mi out. Right by the shore the bottom may drop even faster than shown. Where the bottom comes up to the surface there are shoals, rocks or an islet next to the profile.
