Waves 1.3 ft · 5.0 s from the east (83°)

The waves you may find

  • Most commonMost common0.7 ft

One wave in seven is higher than the significant height, and about 3 times a day one reaches 2.7 ft. Before heading out, expect waves of up to 2.7 ft.

Wind on the coast and offshore

On the coast 3 mph WSW · gusts 5
Offshore (8.2 mi E)Offshore 6 mph NW · gusts 10

Cross-offshore wind. The coast faces east and the wind comes off the land at an angle: calmer water near the shore, and bait and boats drift out to sea.

Water temperature

Water now70.0 °F
Today 70.0–70.7 °F air: 63 / 73 °F
Satellite (2 days ago) 67.1 °F measured 1.5 mi away

The satellite measured 2.9 °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 73.4 °F by Wednesday 4.

Water colder than normal for late October (−1.2 °F).

Solunar periods

Today's activity: medium
  • 1:48–3:48 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity
  • 2:21–4:21 pm Major · the moon passes underfoot · high activity
  • 7:28–8:28 am Minor · moonset · medium activity
  • 10:13–11:13 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.
