One wave in seven is higher than the significant height, and about 3 times a day one reaches 5.3 ft. Before heading out, expect waves of up to 5.3 ft.

Wind on the coast and offshore

On the coast 17 mph NNW · gusts 34

The model doesn't separate offshore wind here: it's the same as on the coast.

Onshore wind. The coast faces north and the wind blows straight in from the sea: more surf and backwash at the shore, and bait and boats drift toward land.

Today the moon is 226,597 mi away and looks 32′ 45″ across.

Solunar periods

Today's activity: medium
  • 1:37–3:37 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity
  • 2:10–4:10 pm Major · the moon passes underfoot · high activity
  • 9:53–10:53 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

Gentle slope

The bottom slopes gently: 16 ft deep 750 ft from shore and 33 ft at 0.3 mi. It reaches 164 ft at 1.9 mi.

From the shoreline out to sea, heading north.

How far from shore

  • 16 ft deep750 ft
  • 33 ft deep0.3 mi
  • 66 ft deep1.3 mi
  • 164 ft deep1.9 mi

For fishing, swimming and diving

  • Shore fishing. About 7.9 ft of water 330 ft out: long casts help, and so does a rising tide, which brings fish closer in.
  • Swimming. The water gets deeper little by little, but a few dozen yards out you can no longer stand.
  • Diving. 33 ft deep 0.3 mi from shore; 66 ft is far out (1.3 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.
