  • Water at 77 °F (warm)
  • Cloudy (96% cloud cover)
  • Swim with care: 4.9 ft waves every 12 s; high rip current risk

Dangerous surf during beach hours. Stay out if the red flag is up, and never swim where there is no lifeguard.

Today, hour by hour

  • Swimming Use care · 4.9 ft

    4.9 ft waves every 12 s: swim with care and stay where you can stand. High rip current risk. If you're caught in a rip current, don't swim against it: swim parallel to shore and wave for help. Always follow the lifeguard's flags.

  • Water 77 °F

    Warm: very pleasant.

  • Sun & sunscreen UV 5 · SPF 30

    Max UV 5 (moderate): SPF 30 sunscreen, reapplied every 2 hours.

  • Wind 5 mph

    Offshore breeze (5 mph).

  • Tide & sand 9:10 pm

    Low tide at 8:54 am and 9:10 pm: that's when there's the most sand. High tide at 2:40 am and 3:09 pm.

The best window, 10:00 am to 12:00 pm, brings beach weather, little wind and water at 77 °F, though with clouds and some waves.

We don't have data on jellyfish, sargassum or beach closures: ask the lifeguard or check with the local beach authority. How it works · The next 7 days

Where this tide comes from

M · Global model

Hermigua has no tide station nearby: its tide is calculated with the global FES2022 model, from the nearest model cells offshore (the first one 2.7 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.

Sea and waves

The sea at Hermigua

7-day waves

Sea stateSea state: moderate

Moderate Douglas 4 · light breeze, Beaufort 2
Waves 4.9 ft · 11.5 s from the north-northwest (327°)
Swell 3.6 ft · 10.1 s from the north-northwest

The waves you may find

  • Most commonMost common2.5 ft
  • Significant4.9 ft
  • Highest expectedHighest9.7 ft

One wave in seven is higher than the significant height, and about 3 times a day one reaches 9.7 ft. Before heading out, expect waves of up to 9.7 ft.

Wind on the coast and offshore

On the coast 4 mph N · gusts 8

The model doesn't separate offshore wind here: it's the same as on the coast.

Onshore wind. The coast faces north and the wind blows straight in from the sea: more surf and backwash at the shore, and bait and boats drift toward land.

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.

Your diving day at a glance

The best window, 2:10 pm to 3:50 pm, combines slack water at high tide, light wind, weak current and the sun high, though with some swell. Also worth a look from 8:10 am to 10:30 am, with slack water at low tide and light wind, though with some swell and 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.

Today's activity: medium

  • 10:31–11:31 am Minor · moonset · medium activity
  • 8:48–9:48 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

Drops off fast

The bottom drops off fast: the water is 33 ft deep just 490 ft from shore. It reaches 164 ft at 0.65 mi.

From the shoreline (1.7 mi from Hermigua) out to sea, heading north.

How far from shore

  • 16 ft deep310 ft
  • 33 ft deep490 ft
  • 66 ft deep1,200 ft
  • 164 ft deep0.65 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 490 ft and 66 ft at 1,200 ft from shore.

Right by the shore the bottom may drop even faster than shown.
