Solunar periods

Today's activity: medium
  • 1:19–3:19 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity
  • 1:52–3:52 pm Major · the moon passes underfoot · high activity
  • 10:10–11:10 am Minor · moonset · medium activity
  • 6:32–7:32 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 slope

The bottom slopes gently: 16 ft deep 0.3 mi from shore and 33 ft at 0.45 mi. Right off the beach it already drops to about 13 ft.

From the shoreline (0.5 mi from Vodice) out to sea, heading southeast.

How far from shore

  • 16 ft deep0.3 mi
  • 33 ft deep0.45 mi
  • 66 ft deep2.9 mi
  • 164 ft deepnot within 3.1 mi

For fishing, swimming and diving

  • Shore fishing. About 13 ft of water 330 ft out: long casts help, and so does a rising tide, which brings fish closer in.
  • 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. 33 ft deep 0.45 mi from shore; 66 ft is far out (2.9 mi): for deeper dives, go by boat.

Inside bays, estuaries and harbors the bottom changes a lot from spot to spot (channels and shoals): use this only as a rough guide. The profile is turned slightly from the coast so it does not run into an island or a headland.
