Tide coefficient 101 for the 2:02 am high tide and 97 for the 2:24 pm high tide. Big spring tides. The water rises and falls 6.5 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.

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

One wave in seven is higher than the significant height, and about 3 times a day one reaches 6.9 ft. Before heading out, expect waves of up to 6.9 ft.

Cross-offshore wind. The coast faces east and the wind comes off the land at an angle: calmer water near the shore, and bait and boats drift out to sea.

The best window, 7:00 am to 9:00 am, has a good size and glassy water. 6:00 pm to 6:53 pm also works, with 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.

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.

Your diving day at a glance

The best window, 1:50 pm to 3:00 pm, combines slack water at high tide, light wind and the sun high, though with some swell and current. Also worth a look from 7:50 am to 9:00 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.

Solunar periods

Today's activity: medium
  • 1:36–3:36 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity

  • 9:26–10:26 am Minor · moonset · medium activity
  • 7:46–8:46 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 280 ft from shore. It reaches 164 ft at 1,000 ft.

From the shoreline (0.45 mi from Puntallana) out to sea, heading east.

How far from shore

  • 16 ft deep220 ft
  • 33 ft deep280 ft
  • 66 ft deep410 ft
  • 164 ft deep1,000 ft

For fishing, swimming and diving

  • Shore fishing. Deep water close in: about 46 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 280 ft and 66 ft at 410 ft from shore.

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