Waves stay much the same all week. The biggest waves arrive on Wednesday 4: 6.3 ft with a period of 7 s, from the south-southwest (moderate).

Moon phase and position
Today the moon is 226,463 mi away and looks 32′ 47″ across.
Solunar periods
Today's activity: medium- 2:15–4:15 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity
- 2:48–4:48 pm Major · the moon passes underfoot · high activity
- 7:31–8:31 am Minor · moonset · medium activity
- 11:07 pm–12:07 am 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.
