The sea at Soyo
Sea stateSea state: smooth
The waves you may find
- Most commonMost common0.8 ft
- Significant1.5 ft
- Highest expectedHighest3.0 ft
One wave in seven is higher than the significant height, and about 3 times a day one reaches 3.0 ft. Before heading out, expect waves of up to 3.0 ft.
Wind on the coast and offshore
Cross-shore wind. The coast faces west and the wind blows along the shore: drift and current run parallel to the beach.
Wave height, next 7 daysWaves, next 7 days
Waves stay much the same all week. The biggest waves arrive on Tuesday 3: 2.1 ft with a period of 9 s, from the south-southwest (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 colder than normal for late October (−2.6 °F).

The moon in Soyo
Moon phase and position
Today the moon is 226,618 mi away and looks 32′ 45″ across.
Solunar periods
Today's activity: medium- 1:34–3:34 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity
- 2:06–4:06 pm Major · the moon passes underfoot · high activity
- 8:05–9:05 am Minor · moonset · medium activity
- 9:06–10:06 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.
