The sea at La Porte
Sea stateSea state: smooth
The waves you may find
- Most commonMost common0.5 ft
- Significant1.0 ft
- Highest expectedHighest2.1 ft
One wave in seven is higher than the significant height, and about 3 times a day one reaches 2.1 ft. Before heading out, expect waves of up to 2.1 ft.
Wind on the coast and offshore
Cross-onshore wind. The coast faces east and the wind comes in from the sea at an angle: a bit more surf at the shore and drift along the coast, toward land.
Wave height, next 7 daysWaves, next 7 days
Waves stay much the same all week. The biggest waves arrive on Monday 2: 1.8 ft with a period of 3 s, from the southeast (slight).

Moon phase and position
Today the moon is 226,426 mi away and looks 32′ 47″ across.
Solunar periods
Today's activity: medium- 1:58–3:58 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity
- 2:30–4:30 pm Major · the moon passes underfoot · high activity
- 9:53–10:53 am Minor · moonset · medium activity
- 8:05–9:05 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

- 33 ft deep1.5 mi
- 66 ft deepnot within 2 mi
- 164 ft deepnot within 2 mi
For fishing, swimming and diving
- Shore fishing. Shallow, gradual bottom (16 ft at 1.5 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 1.5 mi. For dives deeper than 33 ft, go by boat.
Inside bays, estuaries and harbors the bottom changes a lot from spot to spot (channels and shoals): use this only as a rough guide. There is land ahead (an island, a headland or the far shore) 2 mi out.
