Wind on the coast and offshore

On the coast 14 mph W · gusts 28

Solunar periods

Today's activity: medium
  • 2:48–4:48 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity
  • 3:21–5:21 pm Major · the moon passes underfoot · high activity
  • 12:02–1:02 pm Minor · moonset · medium activity
  • 7:39–8:39 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.

  • 16 ft deepnot within 1.9 mi
  • 33 ft deepnot within 1.9 mi
  • 66 ft deepnot within 1.9 mi
  • 164 ft deepnot within 1.9 mi

For fishing, swimming and diving

  • Shore fishing. Very shallow: the water doesn't reach 16 ft within 1.9 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 1.9 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) 1.9 mi out.
