The sea at Swanage Pier
Sea stateSea state: slight
The waves you may find
- Most commonMost common1.1 ft
- Significant2.1 ft
- Highest expectedHighest4.3 ft
One wave in seven is higher than the significant height, and about 3 times a day one reaches 4.3 ft. Before heading out, expect waves of up to 4.3 ft.
Wind on the coast and offshore
Cross-shore wind. The coast faces south and the wind blows along the shore: drift and current run parallel to the beach.

Waves stay much the same all week. The biggest waves arrive on Wednesday 4: 2.6 ft with a period of 4 s, from the east (slight).
Water temperature
Water temperature →Water temperature changes how fish behave: in very cold or very warm water they feed less. The water cools over the next few days: about 58.2 °F by Wednesday 4.

Surf in Swanage Pier today
Surf today
Poor- 1.2–1.9 ft surf at the shore, small: good for learning or a longboard
- 1.7 ft swell at 6 s from the southwest, short: weak, messy waves
- Almost no wind (1 mph): glassy water
- First or last light of the day
- Rising tide (high tide at 9:10 am)
- Light: First light 6:20 am · sunrise 6:54 am · sunset 4:49 pm · last light 5:23 pm
- Tide: low 5:07 am (2.1 ft), high 9:10 am (7.4 ft), low 5:33 pm (1.7 ft) and high 9:45 pm (6.7 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 59.0 °F: a 4/3 fullsuit (booties if you run cold).
- Energy: 22 kJ · Low power
Today’s surf at a glance
The best window, 6:20 am to 10:00 am, has glassy water, though with a short-period swell. 1:00 pm to 5:00 pm can also work, 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.

Moon phase and position
Today the moon is 226,641 mi away and looks 32′ 45″ across.
Solunar periods
Today's activity: medium- 1:33–3:33 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity
- 2:06–4:06 pm Major · the moon passes underfoot · high activity
- 11:04 am–12:04 pm Minor · moonset · medium activity
- 6:07–7:07 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.

For fishing, swimming and diving
- Shore fishing. Shallow, gradual bottom (16 ft at 1,100 ft): cast far from the beach and fish the high tide, when there is more water close in.
- Swimming. A very gentle way in with plenty of shallow water, good for kids. At low tide the water can be far out.
- Diving. 33 ft deep 0.5 mi from shore; 66 ft is far out (1 mi): for deeper dives, go by boat.
