The sea at Soussans
Sea state
The wave model doesn't reach Soussans: it's on inland water (an estuary, sound or sheltered bay) or far from the open sea. Wind is still available right here.
Wind on the coast and offshore
The model doesn't separate offshore wind here: it's the same as on the coast.
Cross-onshore wind. The coast faces northeast and the wind comes in from the sea at an angle: a bit more surf at the shore and drift along the coast, toward land.

Moon phase and position
Today the moon is 226,618 mi away and looks 32′ 45″ across.
Solunar periods
Today's activity: medium- 2:28–4:28 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity
- 3:01–5:01 pm Major · the moon passes underfoot · high activity
- 11:26 am–12:26 pm Minor · moonset · medium activity
- 7:35–8:35 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
Shallow, gradualShallow, gradual bottom: 16 ft at 460 ft from shore and 0 ft at 2.3 mi. Right off the beach it already drops to about 15 ft.
From the shoreline (2.4 mi from Soussans) out to sea, heading north.

For fishing, swimming and diving
- Shore fishing. Deep water close in: about 15 ft just 330 ft out. Good for casting from rocks, jetties or the beach itself; current and surf hit harder here.
- 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. Shallow: the water doesn't reach 33 ft within 2.3 mi. For deeper dives, take a boat farther out.
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) 2.3 mi out. The profile is turned slightly from the coast so it does not run into an island or a headland. Right by the shore the bottom may drop even faster than shown. Where the bottom comes up to the surface there are shoals, rocks or an islet next to the profile.
