Forecasts come from ~8 km resolution models: very local effects (a sheltering pier, a lagoon pass) are not captured.
Sea-state data comes from a marine model cell about 10.7 km from this point — local nearshore conditions can differ.
Wave heights are significant heights: individual waves up to 2× this height still occur.
Four wave models are compared for this point: EWAM, GWAM, Météo-France WAM and ECMWF WAM.
Tide times derived from modelled sea level (± a few tens of minutes) — not official tide tables.
Missing data is shown as missing — never silently estimated.

Good visibility.
Loss of bearings and collision risk
Post-rain pollution · 0 mm over 24 h
When it rains hard, runoff from roads and fields and sewer overflows carry bacteria out to sea. Nothing significant has fallen in the last 24 hours.
Official sampling is weekly at best; between two samples, recent rain is the recognized warning signal (EEA)
Jellyfish: no recent info. If you're there, tell us what you see — even “none” helps the next swimmer.
Water quality · Poor · 2025 season
Below the legal threshold over the last four seasons: swimming here is officially advised against. Read the local council's signs before entering — this classification describes the water's past, the signs on site describe today.

The beach is reached via the usual coastal footpaths along Alboraya's seafront.
Worth knowing
The name "Els Peixets" means "the little fish" in Valencian, a fitting nod to the quiet marine life still found along this shore, from shellfish to small sharks like the catshark.
