Solunar periods

Today's activity: medium

2:47–4:47 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity
3:20–5:20 pm Major · the moon passes underfoot · high activity
12:08–1:08 pm Minor · moonset · medium activity
7:31–8:31 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.

For fishing, swimming and diving

Shore fishing. Very shallow: the water doesn't reach 16 ft within 0.3 mi. Cast far from the beach, ideally around high tide.
Swimming. A very gentle way in with plenty of shallow water, good for kids. At low tide the water can be far out.
Diving. Shallow: the water doesn't reach 33 ft within 0.3 mi. For deeper dives, take a boat farther out.

Inside bays, estuaries and harbors the bottom changes a lot from spot to spot (channels and shoals): use this only as a rough guide. There is land ahead (an island, a headland or the far shore) 0.3 mi out.
