The sea at Araya
Sea stateSea state: slight
The waves you may find
- Most commonMost common1.3 ft
- Significant2.5 ft
- Highest expectedHighest5.3 ft
One wave in seven is higher than the significant height, and about 3 times a day one reaches 5.3 ft. Before heading out, expect waves of up to 5.3 ft.
Wind on the coast and offshore
The model doesn't separate offshore wind here: it's the same as on the coast.
Offshore wind. The coast faces west and the wind blows from land out to sea: calm shore and clean waves, but watch the drift out to sea.
Wave height, next 7 daysWaves, next 7 days
Waves stay much the same all week. The biggest waves arrive on Wednesday 28: 2.8 ft with a period of 4 s, from the east-northeast (slight).

The moon in Araya
Moon phase and position
Today the moon is 226,429 mi away and looks 32′ 47″ across.
Solunar periods
Today's activity: medium- 12:50–2:50 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity
- 1:22–3:22 pm Major · the moon passes underfoot · high activity
- 7:57–8:57 am Minor · moonset · medium activity
- 7:45–8:45 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.

How far from shore
- 16 ft deep90 ft
- 33 ft deep220 ft
- 66 ft deep1,200 ft
- 164 ft deep0.9 mi
For fishing, swimming and diving
- Shore fishing. Deep water close in: about 37 ft just 330 ft out. Good for casting from rocks, jetties or the beach itself; current and surf hit harder here.
- Swimming. The bottom drops quickly near the shore and you are soon out of your depth. Keep an eye on kids and weak swimmers.
- Diving. Shore diving works here: 33 ft at 220 ft and 66 ft at 1,200 ft from shore.
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.
