Sea stateSea state: smooth
The waves you may find
- Most commonMost common0.3 ft
- Significant0.6 ft
- Highest expectedHighest1.3 ft
One wave in seven is higher than the significant height, and about 3 times a day one reaches 1.3 ft. Before heading out, expect waves of up to 1.3 ft.
Wind on the coast and offshore
Cross-shore wind. The coast faces southeast and the wind blows along the shore: drift and current run parallel to the beach.
Wave height, next 7 daysWaves, next 7 days
Waves stay much the same all week. The biggest waves arrive on Wednesday 28: 0.8 ft with a period of 2 s, from the south-southwest (smooth).

Your diving day at a glance
The best window, 10:40 am to 1:40 pm, combines slack water at high tide, little swell, light wind and the sun high, though with current.
Slack water comes from the tide: in inlets, channels and between islands the water can keep running for an hour or two after. Ask the local dive shop.
Never dive alone and check with the local dive shop: this rating is a guide, not a substitute for a professional.

Moon phase and position
Today the moon is 226,461 mi away and looks 32′ 47″ across.
Solunar periods
Today's activity: high- 12:41–2:41 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity
- 1:12–3:12 pm Major · the moon passes underfoot · high activity
- 10:36–11:36 am Minor · moonset · medium activity
- 4:43–5:43 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 slopeThe bottom slopes gently: 16 ft deep 0.25 mi from shore and 33 ft at 0.3 mi. Right off the beach it already drops to about 12 ft.

How far from shore
- 16 ft deep0.25 mi
- 33 ft deep0.3 mi
- 66 ft deep0.75 mi
- 164 ft deepnot within 3.1 mi
For fishing, swimming and diving
- Shore fishing. About 12 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. Shore diving works here: 33 ft at 0.3 mi and 66 ft at 0.75 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. The profile is turned slightly from the coast so it does not run into an island or a headland.
