The moon in Sobra
Moon phase and position
Today the moon is 226,618 mi away and looks 32′ 45″ across.
Solunar periods
Today's activity: medium- 1:12–3:12 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity
- 1:44–3:44 pm Major · the moon passes underfoot · high activity
- 9:58–10:58 am Minor · moonset · medium activity
- 6:30–7:30 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
Gentle slopeThe bottom slopes gently: 16 ft deep 200 ft from shore and 33 ft at 0.4 mi. Right off the beach it already drops to about 23 ft. It reaches 164 ft at 0.9 mi.
From the shoreline (1.2 mi from Sobra) out to sea, heading south.

- 164 ft deep0.9 mi
For fishing, swimming and diving
- Shore fishing. Deep water close in: about 23 ft just 330 ft out. Good for casting from rocks, jetties or the beach itself; current and surf hit harder here.
- Swimming. The bottom drops quickly near the shore and you are soon out of your depth. Keep an eye on kids and weak swimmers.
- Diving. Shore diving works here: 33 ft at 0.4 mi and 66 ft at 0.5 mi from shore.
Right by the shore the bottom may drop even faster than shown. Where the bottom comes up to the surface there are shoals, rocks or an islet next to the profile.
