Solunar periods

Today's activity: medium
  • 1:46–3:46 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity
  • 2:18–4:18 pm Major · the moon passes underfoot · high activity
  • 10:13–11:13 am Minor · moonset · medium activity
  • 7:22–8:22 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 slope

The bottom slopes gently: 16 ft deep 950 ft from shore and 33 ft at 0.7 mi.

From the shoreline (0.5 mi from Erétria) out to sea, heading south.

How far from shore

  • 16 ft deep950 ft
  • 33 ft deep0.7 mi
  • 66 ft deep1.9 mi
  • 164 ft deepnot within 3.1 mi

For fishing, swimming and diving

  • Shore fishing. Shallow, gradual bottom (16 ft at 950 ft): cast far from the beach and fish the high tide, when there is more water close in.
  • Swimming. A very gentle way in with plenty of shallow water, good for kids. At low tide the water can be far out.
  • Diving. Shallow near shore: you only reach 33 ft at 0.7 mi. For dives deeper than 33 ft, 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.
