The model doesn't separate offshore wind here: it's the same as on the coast.

Offshore wind. The coast faces southwest and the wind blows from land out to sea: calm shore and clean waves, but watch the drift out to sea.

The best window, 6:01 am to 10:00 am, has glassy water, though with barely any waves.

An estimate for this stretch of coast, not for a specific break: every beach or reef works its own way (its tide, bottom and angle). Check it when you get there.

Follow the flags and the lifeguards, and don’t paddle out if the surf is above your level: this score is a guide, not a substitute for what you see when you get there.

Solunar periods

Today's activity: high
  • 12:19–2:19 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity
  • 12:50–2:50 pm Major · the moon passes underfoot · high activity
  • 9:00–10:00 am Minor · moonset · medium activity
  • 5:35–6:35 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 1,050 ft from shore and 33 ft at 0.35 mi. It reaches 164 ft at 1 mi.

From the shoreline (2.1 mi from Žman) out to sea, heading southwest.

How far from shore

  • 16 ft deep1,050 ft
  • 33 ft deep0.35 mi
  • 66 ft deep0.5 mi
  • 164 ft deep1 mi

For fishing, swimming and diving

  • Shore fishing. Shallow, gradual bottom (16 ft at 1,050 ft): cast far from the beach and fish the high tide, when there is more water close in.
  • Swimming. A very gentle way in with plenty of shallow water, good for kids. At low tide the water can be far out.
  • Diving. Shore diving works here: 33 ft at 0.35 mi and 66 ft at 0.5 mi from shore.

Rough estimate: here the data comes in cells of about 0.3 mi and misses details near shore (rocks, sandbars, small coves).

Source: EMODnet Bathymetry DTM 2024, here using the GEBCO grid (CC BY 4.0), cells of about 0.3 mi; depth at the lowest astronomical tide. For reference only: not for navigation or anchoring.
