Solunar periods

Today's activity: high
  • 12:16–2:16 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity
  • 12:47–2:47 pm Major · the moon passes underfoot · high activity
  • 8:56–9:56 am Minor · moonset · medium activity
  • 5:33–6:33 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

Drops off fast

The bottom drops off fast: the water is 33 ft deep just 60 ft from shore. It reaches 164 ft at 300 ft.

From the shoreline out to sea, heading south.

How far from shore

  • 16 ft deep30 ft
  • 33 ft deep60 ft
  • 66 ft deep110 ft
  • 164 ft deep300 ft

For fishing, swimming and diving

  • Shore fishing. Deep water close in: about 180 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 60 ft and 66 ft at 110 ft 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. There is land ahead (an island, a headland or the far shore) 1 mi out. The profile is turned slightly from the coast so it does not run into an island or a headland. Right by the shore the bottom may drop even faster than shown.
