The waves you may find
- Most commonMost common0.9 ft
- Significant1.8 ft
- Highest expectedHighest3.7 ft
One wave in seven is higher than the significant height, and about 3 times a day one reaches 3.7 ft. Before heading out, expect waves of up to 3.7 ft.
Wind on the coast and offshore
Cross-shore wind. The coast faces southeast and the wind blows along the shore: drift and current run parallel to the beach.
Wave height, next 7 daysWaves, next 7 days
Waves build over the next few days. The biggest waves arrive on Friday 30: 3.0 ft with a period of 4 s, from the east-northeast (slight).
Water temperature
Water temperature →The satellite measured 3.2 °F less yesterday than the model gives now: the water is probably colder than the forecast says.
Water temperature changes how fish behave: in very cold or very warm water they feed less. The water warms over the next few days: about 60.1 °F by Tuesday 3.
Water about normal for late October.

Moon phase and position
Today the moon is 226,432 mi away and looks 32′ 47″ across.
Solunar periods
Today's activity: high- 1:20–3:20 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity
- 1:51–3:51 pm Major · the moon passes underfoot · high activity
- 6:33–7:33 am Minor · moonset · medium activity
- 10:15–11:15 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 1.7 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).
Source: NOAA ETOPO 2022 (CC0), cells of about 0.3 mi; depth below mean sea level. For reference only: not for navigation or anchoring.
