The sea at Maningrida
Sea stateSea state: smooth
The waves you may find
- Most commonMost common0.3 ft
- Significant0.6 ft
- Highest expectedHighest1.3 ft
One wave in seven is higher than the significant height, and about 3 times a day one reaches 1.3 ft. Before heading out, expect waves of up to 1.3 ft.
Wind on the coast and offshore
Onshore wind. The coast faces north and the wind blows straight in from the sea: more surf and backwash at the shore, and bait and boats drift toward land.
Wave height, next 7 daysWaves, next 7 days
Waves stay much the same all week. The biggest waves arrive on Friday 30: 1.2 ft with a period of 3 s, from the northeast (smooth).
Water temperature
Water temperature →The satellite measured 2.7 °F less 2 days ago 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 88.4 °F by Wednesday 4.
Water warmer than normal for late October (+2.3 °F).

Moon phase and position
Today the moon is 226,474 mi away and looks 32′ 46″ across.
Solunar periods
Today's activity: medium- 1:34–3:34 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity
- 2:07–4:07 pm Major · the moon passes underfoot · high activity
- 7:53–8:53 am Minor · moonset · medium activity
- 9:20–10:20 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.
