The sea at Edgewater
Sea stateSea state: rough
The waves you may find
- Most commonMost common4.3 ft
- Significant8.6 ft
- Highest expectedHighest17 ft
One wave in seven is higher than the significant height, and about 3 times a day one reaches 17 ft. Before heading out, expect waves of up to 17 ft.
Wind on the coast and offshore
Onshore wind. The coast faces northeast and the wind blows straight in from the sea: more surf and backwash at the shore, and bait and boats drift toward land.
Wave height, next 7 daysWaves, next 7 days
Waves ease over the next few days. The biggest waves arrive on Wednesday 28: 10 ft with a period of 9 s, from the east-northeast (rough).
Water temperature
Water temperature →The satellite measured 2.9 °F less yesterday than the model gives now: the water is probably colder 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 (−2.0 °F).

Big surf: for experienced surfers only. If in doubt, stay on the beach.

Today’s surf at a glance
The best window, 4:00 pm to 6:00 pm, has a good size, though with big surf and onshore wind. 11:00 am to 12:00 pm can also work, with a good size, though with big surf and onshore wind.
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.
Diving in Edgewater today
Diving and snorkeling today
Likely visibility: poor- 7.5 ft swell at 8 s from the east-northeast: strong surge on the bottom
- Moderate onshore wind (16 mph)
- 0.2 mph current toward the southeast, weak (model)
- Sun high: more light underwater
- Slack water today: none; the tide doesn't count here
- Likely visibility: poor. Swell (up to 8.7 ft at 9 s) and wind over the last few days have stirred up the water. Based on the last 24 hours of data.
- Water at 75.2 °F: a 3 mm wetsuit.
- Snorkeling: better not, with these waves, wind or current.
- Night dive: dark from 7:05 pm. Waning gibbous (91%), rising at 8:39 pm: a bright night.
Your diving day at a glance
The best window, 2:30 pm to 5:30 pm, combines weak current and the sun high, though with a big swell and moderate wind. Also worth a look from 10:30 am to 11:30 am, with weak current and the sun high, though with a big swell and moderate wind.
We don't have a reliable tide for Edgewater, so slack water doesn't count in the rating.

Moon phase and position
Today the moon is 226,429 mi away and looks 32′ 47″ across.
Solunar periods
Today's activity: medium- 1:59–3:59 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity
- 2:31–4:31 pm Major · the moon passes underfoot · high activity
- 9:51–10:51 am Minor · moonset · medium activity
- 8:09–9:09 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 0.3 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 0.55 mi from shore; 66 ft is far out (beyond 3.1 mi): for deeper dives, go by boat.
