Solunar periods

Today's activity: medium
  • 1:47–3:47 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity
  • 2:20–4:20 pm Major · the moon passes underfoot · high activity
  • 10:22–11:22 am Minor · moonset · medium activity
  • 7:17–8:17 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 0.3 mi from shore. It reaches 164 ft at 1.9 mi.

From the shoreline (1.3 mi from Néa Fókaia) out to sea, heading southeast.

How far from shore

  • 16 ft deep1,100 ft
  • 33 ft deep0.3 mi
  • 66 ft deep0.75 mi
  • 164 ft deep1.9 mi

For fishing, swimming and diving

  • Shore fishing. 33 ft of water just 0.3 mi from shore: a good cast reaches deep water. Current and surf hit harder here.
  • Swimming. The water gets deeper little by little, but a few dozen yards out you can no longer stand.
  • Diving. Shore diving works here: 33 ft at 0.3 mi and 66 ft at 0.75 mi from shore.

Inside bays, estuaries and harbors the bottom changes a lot from spot to spot (channels and shoals): use this only as a rough guide.
