The sea at Cửa Lô
Sea stateSea state: slight
The waves you may find
- Most commonMost common1.0 ft
- Significant2.1 ft
- Highest expectedHighest4.4 ft
One wave in seven is higher than the significant height, and about 3 times a day one reaches 4.4 ft. Before heading out, expect waves of up to 4.4 ft.
Wind on the coast and offshore
Cross-offshore wind. The coast faces northeast and the wind comes off the land at an angle: calmer water near the shore, and bait and boats drift out to sea.
Wave height, next 7 daysWaves, next 7 days
Waves stay much the same all week. The biggest waves arrive on Thursday 29: 2.1 ft with a period of 5 s, from the east-northeast (slight).
Water temperature
Water temperature →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 warmer than normal for late October (+5.0 °F).

The moon in Cửa Lô
Moon phase and position
Today the moon is 226,507 mi away and looks 32′ 46″ across.
Solunar periods
Today's activity: medium- 1:03–3:03 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity
- 1:36–3:36 pm Major · the moon passes underfoot · high activity
- 8:31–9:31 am Minor · moonset · medium activity
- 7:40–8:40 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 0.45 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: the water doesn't reach 33 ft within 3.1 mi. For deeper dives, take a boat farther out.
Rough estimate: here the data comes in cells of about 0.3 mi and misses details near shore (rocks, sandbars, small coves).
