The best window, 6:00 am to 10:00 am, has a good size and light offshore wind, though with a short-period swell.

An estimate for this stretch of coast, not for a specific break: every beach or reef works its own way (its tide, bottom and angle). Check it when you get there.

Follow the flags and the lifeguards, and don’t paddle out if the surf is above your level: this score is a guide, not a substitute for what you see when you get there.

Solunar periods

Today's activity: medium
  • 2:10–4:10 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity
  • 2:42–4:42 pm Major · the moon passes underfoot · high activity
  • 7:15–8:15 am Minor · moonset · medium activity
  • 11:13 pm–12:13 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.

Water depth

Gentle slope

The bottom slopes gently: 16 ft deep 1,250 ft from shore and 33 ft at 0.35 mi.

From the shoreline (550 ft from Seaspray) out to sea, heading southeast.

How far from shore

  • 16 ft deep1,250 ft
  • 33 ft deep0.35 mi
  • 66 ft deepnot within 3.1 mi
  • 164 ft deepnot within 3.1 mi

For fishing, swimming and diving

  • Shore fishing. Shallow, gradual bottom (16 ft at 1,250 ft): 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. 33 ft deep 0.35 mi from shore; 66 ft is far out (beyond 3.1 mi): for deeper dives, go by boat.

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.
