Solunar periods

Today's activity: medium
  • 1:21–3:21 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity
  • 1:54–3:54 pm Major · the moon passes underfoot · high activity
  • 10:14–11:14 am Minor · moonset · medium activity
  • 6:33–7:33 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

Deepens quickly

The bottom deepens quickly: 33 ft of water 0.3 mi from shore.

From the shoreline out to sea, heading north.

How far from shore

  • 16 ft deep900 ft
  • 33 ft deep0.3 mi
  • 66 ft deepnot within 3 mi
  • 164 ft deepnot within 3 mi

For fishing, swimming and diving

  • Shore fishing. 33 ft of water just 0.3 mi 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. 33 ft deep 0.3 mi from shore; 66 ft is far out (beyond 3 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. There is land ahead (an island, a headland or the far shore) 3 mi out.
