One wave in seven is higher than the significant height, and about 3 times a day one reaches 0.4 ft. Before heading out, expect waves of up to 0.4 ft.

Wind on the coast and offshore

On the coast 4 mph NE · gusts 19
Offshore (17 mi WNW)Offshore 4 mph NNE · gusts 8

Cross-offshore wind. The coast faces west and the wind comes off the land at an angle: calmer water near the shore, and bait and boats drift out to sea.

Water now69.1 °F
Today 68.9–69.1 °F air: 59 / 67 °F
Satellite (2 days ago) 65.7 °F measured 0.4 mi away

The satellite measured 3.4 °F less 2 days ago than the model gives now: the water is probably colder than the forecast says.

Water temperature changes how fish behave: in very cold or very warm water they feed less. The water cools over the next few days: about 67.8 °F by Wednesday 4.

Water warmer than normal for late October (+1.5 °F).

Solunar periods

Today's activity: medium
  • 1:13–3:13 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity
  • 1:45–3:45 pm Major · the moon passes underfoot · high activity
  • 10:01–11:01 am Minor · moonset · medium activity
  • 6:29–7:29 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 800 ft from shore.

From the shoreline (0.7 mi from Podaca) out to sea, heading west.

How far from shore

  • 16 ft deep700 ft
  • 33 ft deep800 ft
  • 66 ft deep0.55 mi
  • 164 ft deepnot within 3.1 mi

For fishing, swimming and diving

  • Shore fishing. 33 ft of water just 800 ft from shore: a good cast reaches deep water. 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 800 ft and 66 ft at 0.55 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.
