Solunar periods

Today's activity: medium
  • 1:47–3:47 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity
  • 2:19–4:19 pm Major · the moon passes underfoot · high activity
  • 10:12–11:12 am Minor · moonset · medium activity
  • 7:26–8:26 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 650 ft from shore.

From the shoreline (0.55 mi from Vathý) out to sea, heading north.

How far from shore

  • 16 ft deep390 ft
  • 33 ft deep650 ft
  • 66 ft deep1.1 mi
  • 164 ft deepnot within 3.1 mi

For fishing, swimming and diving

  • Shore fishing. Deep water close in: about 12 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. 33 ft deep 650 ft from shore; 66 ft is far out (1.1 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. Right by the shore the bottom may drop even faster than shown.
