The sea at Lawrence
Sea state
The wave model doesn't reach Lawrence: it's on inland water (an estuary, sound or sheltered bay) or far from the open sea. Wind is still available right here.
Wind on the coast and offshore
The model doesn't separate offshore wind here: it's the same as on the coast.
Onshore wind. The coast faces southeast and the wind blows straight in from the sea: more surf and backwash at the shore, and bait and boats drift toward land.

Solunar periods
Today's activity: medium- 1:46–3:46 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity

- 7:20–8:20 am Minor · moonset · medium activity
- 10:17–11:17 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.
