The sea at Erateiní
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
The model doesn't separate offshore wind here: it's the same as on the coast.
Cross-offshore wind. The coast faces southeast and the wind comes off the land at an angle: calmer water near the shore, and bait and boats drift out to sea.
Wave height, next 7 daysWaves, next 7 days
Waves build over the next few days. The biggest waves arrive on Tuesday 3: 2.6 ft with a period of 3 s, from the northwest (slight).
Water temperature
Water temperature →Water temperature changes how fish behave: in very cold or very warm water they feed less. The water cools over the next few days: about 71.0 °F by Wednesday 4.

Moon phase and position
Today the moon is 226,597 mi away and looks 32′ 45″ across.
Solunar periods
Today's activity: medium- 1:52–3:52 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity
- 2:25–4:25 pm Major · the moon passes underfoot · high activity
- 10:20–11:20 am Minor · moonset · medium activity
- 7:29–8:29 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.
