The sea at Shanklin
Sea stateSea state: slight
The waves you may find
- Most commonMost common1.2 ft
- Significant2.3 ft
- Highest expectedHighest4.7 ft
One wave in seven is higher than the significant height, and about 3 times a day one reaches 4.7 ft. Before heading out, expect waves of up to 4.7 ft.
Wind on the coast and offshore
Cross-shore wind. The coast faces southeast 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 Wednesday 28: 3.9 ft with a period of 8 s, from the west-southwest (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 58.0 °F by Tuesday 3.
Water warmer than normal for late October (+1.1 °F).

Surf in Shanklin today
Surf today
Poor- 1.5–2.3 ft surf at the shore, a fun size for most surfers
- 2.5 ft swell at 9 s from the west-southwest, a bit short; it hits this coast at an angle
- 2.6 ft wind swell at 4 s: messy waves
- Light offshore wind (7 mph): it holds up and grooms the waves
- First or last light of the day
- Rising tide (high tide at 12:32 pm)
- Light: First light 6:15 am · sunrise 6:49 am · sunset 4:47 pm · last light 5:21 pm
- Tide: high 12:11 am (13.0 ft), low 5:19 am (1.6 ft), high 12:32 pm (13.3 ft) and low 5:41 pm (1.4 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 59.2 °F: a 4/3 fullsuit (booties if you run cold).
- Energy: 105 kJ · Medium power
Today’s surf at a glance
The best window, 6:15 am to 10:00 am, has light offshore wind, though with wind swell. 12:00 pm to 4:00 pm can also work, with light offshore wind, though with wind 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 Shanklin today
Diving and snorkeling today
Likely visibility: fair- Some tidal current
- 2.1 ft swell at 9 s from the west-southwest: some surge on the bottom
- Moderate offshore wind (16 mph): it pushes surface swimmers away from shore
- 0.2 mph current toward the northwest, weak (model)
- Sun high: more light underwater
- Slack water today: high tide 12:11 am (11:50 pm–12:40 am), low tide 5:19 am (5:04–5:34 am), high tide 12:32 pm (12:10–1:00 pm) and low tide 5:41 pm (5:26–5:56 pm)
- Likely visibility: fair. Swell (up to 3.0 ft at 9 s) and rain (0.28 in) over the last few days have stirred up the water. Based on the last 24 hours of data.
- Water at 59.2 °F: a 7 mm wetsuit, with hood and booties.
- Snorkeling: better not, with these waves, wind or current.
- Night dive: dark from 5:21 pm. Waning gibbous (92%), rising at 5:37 pm: a bright night.
Your diving day at a glance
The best window, 10:50 am to 11:30 am, combines weak current and the sun high, though with tidal current and moderate wind. Also worth a look from 4:30 pm to 5:20 pm, with light wind and weak current, though with tidal current and low light.
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.

The moon in Shanklin
Moon phase and position
Today the moon is 226,451 mi away and looks 32′ 47″ across.
Solunar periods
Today's activity: high- 12:27–2:27 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity
- 12:58–2:58 pm Major · the moon passes underfoot · high activity
- 9:44–10:44 am Minor · moonset · medium activity
- 5:07–6:07 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 0.35 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. 33 ft deep 0.45 mi from shore; 66 ft is far out (1.1 mi): for deeper dives, go by boat.
The profile is turned slightly from the coast so it does not run into an island or a headland.
