The sea at Wedgefield
Sea stateSea state: slight
The waves you may find
- Most commonMost common0.9 ft
- Significant1.7 ft
- Highest expectedHighest3.6 ft
One wave in seven is higher than the significant height, and about 3 times a day one reaches 3.6 ft. Before heading out, expect waves of up to 3.6 ft.
Wind on the coast and offshore
Cross-offshore wind. The coast faces north and the wind comes off the land at an angle: calmer water near the shore, and bait and boats drift out to sea.
Wave height, next 7 daysWaves, next 7 days
Waves stay much the same all week. The biggest waves arrive on Thursday 29: 2.4 ft with a period of 4 s, from the west-northwest (slight).
Water temperature

Moon phase and position
Today the moon is 226,493 mi away and looks 32′ 46″ across.
Solunar periods
Today's activity: medium- 1:10–3:10 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity
- 1:42–3:42 pm Major · the moon passes underfoot · high activity
- 7:09–8:09 am Minor · moonset · medium activity
- 9:16–10:16 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.
