- Most commonMost common0.8 ft
- Significant1.6 ft
- Highest expectedHighest3.3 ft
One wave in seven is higher than the significant height, and about 3 times a day one reaches 3.3 ft. Before heading out, expect waves of up to 3.3 ft.
Wind on the coast and offshore
The model doesn't separate offshore wind here: it's the same as on the coast.
Cross-shore wind. The coast faces northeast and the wind blows along the shore: drift and current run parallel to the beach.

Waves stay much the same all week. The biggest waves arrive on Friday 30: 1.8 ft with a period of 5 s, from the north (slight).

Moon phase and position
Today the moon is 226,775 mi away and looks 32′ 44″ across.
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
- 8:53–9:53 am Minor · moonset · medium activity
- 8:49–9:49 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. Shallow, gradual bottom (16 ft at 0.55 mi): cast far from the beach and fish the high tide, when there is more water close in.
- 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 near shore: you only reach 33 ft at 0.75 mi. For dives deeper than 33 ft, go by boat.
Rough estimate: here the data comes in cells of about 0.3 mi and misses details near shore (rocks, sandbars, small coves).
Source: NOAA ETOPO 2022 (CC0), cells of about 0.3 mi; depth below mean sea level. For reference only: not for navigation or anchoring.
