The model doesn't separate offshore wind here: it's the same as on the coast.

Offshore wind. The coast faces southwest and the wind blows from land out to sea: calm shore and clean waves, but watch the drift out to sea.

Solunar periods

Today's activity: medium
  • 1:09–3:09 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity
  • 1:42–3:42 pm Major · the moon passes underfoot · high activity
  • 9:55–10:55 am Minor · moonset · medium activity
  • 6:28–7:28 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

Deepens quickly

The bottom deepens quickly: 33 ft of water 650 ft from shore. It reaches 164 ft at 1.4 mi.

From the shoreline out to sea, heading southwest.

How far from shore

  • 16 ft deep420 ft
  • 33 ft deep650 ft
  • 66 ft deep0.35 mi
  • 164 ft deep1.4 mi

For fishing, swimming and diving

  • Shore fishing. Deep water close in: about 9.2 ft just 330 ft out. Good for casting from rocks, jetties or the beach itself; current and surf hit harder here.
  • Swimming. The water gets deeper little by little, but a few dozen yards out you can no longer stand.
  • Diving. Shore diving works here: 33 ft at 650 ft and 66 ft at 0.35 mi from shore.

Inside bays, estuaries and harbors the bottom changes a lot from spot to spot (channels and shoals): use this only as a rough guide. Right by the shore the bottom may drop even faster than shown.
