The sea at Saint Leonards-on-Sea
Sea stateSea state: slight
The waves you may find
- Most commonMost common0.9 ft
- Significant1.8 ft
- Highest expectedHighest3.6 ft
One wave in seven is higher than the significant height, and about 3 times a day one reaches 3.6 ft. Before heading out, expect waves of up to 3.6 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.
Wave height, next 7 daysWaves, next 7 days
Waves stay much the same all week. The biggest waves arrive on Tuesday 3: 3.5 ft with a period of 4 s, from the northeast (slight).
Water temperature
Water temperature →The satellite measured 3.2 °F more 2 days ago 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 is steady these days, with no sudden changes.
Water colder than normal for late October (−1.2 °F).

Surf in Saint Leonards-on-Sea today
Surf today
Poor- 1.2–1.8 ft surf at the shore, small: good for learning or a longboard
- 2.0 ft swell at 7 s from the west-southwest, short: weak, messy waves; it hits this coast at an angle
- Almost no wind (2 mph): glassy water
- First or last light of the day
- Falling tide (high tide at 12:43 pm)
- Light: First light 6:10 am · sunrise 6:44 am · sunset 4:38 pm · last light 5:12 pm
- Tide: high 12:25 am (25.7 ft), low 7:25 am (3.4 ft), high 12:43 pm (25.7 ft) and low 7:50 pm (3.4 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 57.2 °F: a 4/3 fullsuit (booties if you run cold).
- Energy: 37 kJ · Low power
Today’s surf at a glance
The best window, 6:10 am to 10:00 am, has glassy water, though with a short-period swell. 2:00 pm to 5:00 pm can also work, with glassy water, though with small waves and 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 Saint Leonards-on-Sea today
Diving and snorkeling today

- Likely visibility: good. Swell (up to 3.6 ft at 5 s) over the last few days has stirred up the water. Based on the last 24 hours of data.
- Water at 57.2 °F: a 7 mm wetsuit, with hood and booties.
- Snorkeling: doable, with some waves or wind.
- Night dive: dark from 5:12 pm. Waning gibbous (85%), rising at 6:24 pm: a bright night.
Your diving day at a glance
The best window, 6:40 am to 8:00 am, combines slack water at low tide, light wind and weak current. Also worth a look from 12:20 pm to 1:20 pm, with slack water at high tide, light wind and the sun high, though with 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.
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 226,641 mi away and looks 32′ 45″ across.
Solunar periods
Today's activity: medium- 1:23–3:23 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity

- 10:56–11:56 am Minor · moonset · medium activity
- 5:54–6:54 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 0.6 mi): 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. Shallow near shore: you only reach 33 ft at 1.9 mi. For dives deeper than 33 ft, go by boat.
