Solunar periods

Today's activity: medium
  • 2:36–4:36 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity
  • 3:09–5:09 pm Major · the moon passes underfoot · high activity
  • 11:40 am–12:40 pm Minor · moonset · medium activity
  • 7:38–8:38 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.

Water depth

Shallow, gradual

Shallow, gradual bottom: 0 ft at 650 ft.

From the shoreline (1,250 ft from Albert Bridge) out to sea, heading east.

How far from shore

  • 16 ft deepnot within 650 ft
  • 33 ft deepnot within 650 ft
  • 66 ft deepnot within 650 ft
  • 164 ft deepnot within 650 ft

For fishing, swimming and diving

  • Shore fishing. Very shallow: the water doesn't reach 16 ft within 650 ft. 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 650 ft. 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) 650 ft out.
