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.

Today’s surf at a glance

The best window, 6:00 am to 10:00 am, has light offshore wind, though with small waves. 4:00 pm to 6:00 pm can also work, with light offshore wind, though with barely any waves.

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.

We don't have a reliable tide for Cumaná, so slack water doesn't count in the rating.

Solunar periods

Today's activity: medium
  • 12:50–2:50 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity
  • 1:21–3:21 pm Major · the moon passes underfoot · high activity
  • 7:56–8:56 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.

Water depth

Drops off fast

The bottom drops off fast: the water is 33 ft deep just 30 ft from shore. It reaches 164 ft at 190 ft.

From the shoreline (0.95 mi from Cumaná) out to sea, heading west.

How far from shore

  • 16 ft deep20 ft
  • 33 ft deep30 ft
  • 66 ft deep70 ft
  • 164 ft deep190 ft

For fishing, swimming and diving

  • Shore fishing. Deep water close in: about 182 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 30 ft and 66 ft at 70 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.
