Solunar periods

Today's activity: high
  • 12:17–2:17 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity
  • 12:48–2:48 pm Major · the moon passes underfoot · high activity
  • 8:57–9:57 am Minor · moonset · medium activity
  • 5:34–6:34 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 600 ft from shore. It reaches 164 ft at 0.55 mi.

From the shoreline (1 mi from Murter) out to sea, heading south.

How far from shore

  • 16 ft deep490 ft
  • 33 ft deep600 ft
  • 66 ft deep1,150 ft
  • 164 ft deep0.55 mi

For fishing, swimming and diving

  • Shore fishing. 33 ft of water just 600 ft from shore: a good cast reaches deep water. 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 600 ft and 66 ft at 1,150 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.
