Your diving day at a glance
The best window, 11:30 am to 12:20 pm, combines light wind and the sun high, though with tidal current, some swell and current. Also worth a look from 1:30 pm to 3:30 pm, with light wind, weak current and the sun high, though with tidal current and some swell.
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 226,641 mi away and looks 32′ 45″ across.
Solunar periods
Today's activity: high- 1:54–3:54 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity
- 2:27–4:27 pm Major · the moon passes underfoot · high activity
- 2:37–3:37 pm Minor · moonset · medium activity
- 3:16–4:16 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.
