Your day at a glance

The best window, 5:20 pm to 6:10 pm, combines the 6:13 pm high tide, sunset, a light onshore breeze and some swell. Also worth a try from 5:30 am to 7:30 am, with the 6:33 am high tide, moonset, sunrise and some swell, though with moderate wind. Also good from 11:00 am to 2:00 pm, with the 11:59 am low tide, a major period, a light onshore breeze and some swell.

Where this tide comes from

M · Global model

Sola has no tide station nearby: its tide is calculated with the global FES2022 model, from the nearest model cells offshore (the first one 1.2 mi away). It may differ from the real tide by a few minutes and inches, and more with wind or storms. Heights are above mean sea level, not chart datum, so low tides are negative. Not for navigation.

Model attribution: FES2022 Tide was produced by LEGOS, NOVELTIS and CLS, funded by CNES, and distributed by AVISO (https://doi.org/10.24400/527896/a01-2024.004), AVISO licence (https://www.aviso.altimetry.fr/fileadmin/documents/data/License_Aviso.pdf). Modified by TidePlanet: constants interpolated from the nearest model cells offshore; heights above mean sea level.

Sea and waves

The sea at Sola

7-day waves

Sea stateSea state: moderate

Moderate Douglas 4 · moderate breeze, Beaufort 4
Waves 4.1 ft · 6.5 s from the east (96°)
Swell 3.9 ft · 5.4 s from the east
Current 0.5 mph toward the SSW

The waves you may find

  • Most commonMost common2.1 ft
  • Significant4.1 ft
  • Highest expectedHighest8.5 ft

One wave in seven is higher than the significant height, and about 3 times a day one reaches 8.5 ft. Before heading out, expect waves of up to 8.5 ft.

Wind on the coast and offshore

On the coast 15 mph E · gusts 20

The model doesn't separate offshore wind here: it's the same as on the coast.

Onshore wind. The coast faces southeast and the wind blows straight in from the sea: more surf and backwash at the shore, and bait and boats drift toward land.

Today’s surf at a glance

The best window, 10:00 am to 2:00 pm, has a good size, though with a short-period swell and onshore wind. 5:00 am to 9:00 am can also work, with a good size, though with a short-period swell 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.

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.

Your diving day at a glance

The best window, 10:40 am to 1:10 pm, combines slack water at low tide, light wind, weak current and the sun high, though with some swell. Also worth a look from 4:50 pm to 5:50 pm, with light wind and weak current, though with some swell. Also worth a look from 6:30 am to 7:30 am, with slack water at high tide and weak current, though with some swell and moderate wind.

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.

Solunar periods

Today's activity: medium
  • 12:45–2:45 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity

  • 7:00–8:00 am Minor · moonset · medium activity
  • 8:35–9:35 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

Gentle slope

The bottom slopes gently: 16 ft deep 0.65 mi from shore and 33 ft at 0.7 mi. It reaches 164 ft at 0.85 mi.

From the shoreline (1.3 mi from Sola) out to sea, heading southeast.

How far from shore

  • 16 ft deep0.65 mi
  • 33 ft deep0.7 mi
  • 66 ft deep0.75 mi
  • 164 ft deep0.85 mi

For fishing, swimming and diving

  • Shore fishing. Shallow, gradual bottom (16 ft at 0.65 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 0.7 mi. For dives deeper than 33 ft, go by boat.

Rough estimate: here the data comes in cells of about 0.3 mi and misses details near shore (rocks, sandbars, small coves).

Source: NOAA ETOPO 2022 (CC0), cells of about 0.3 mi; depth below mean sea level. For reference only: not for navigation or anchoring.
