Solunar periods

Today's activity: high
  • 12:40–2:40 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity
  • 1:12–3:12 pm Major · the moon passes underfoot · high activity
  • 9:08–10:08 am Minor · moonset · medium activity
  • 6:11–7:11 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

Drops off fast

The bottom drops off fast: the water is 33 ft deep just 550 ft from shore.

From the shoreline (1.3 mi from Néa Iraklítsa) out to sea, heading south.

How far from shore

  • 16 ft deep430 ft
  • 33 ft deep550 ft
  • 66 ft deepnot within 1.3 mi
  • 164 ft deepnot within 1.3 mi

For fishing, swimming and diving

  • Shore fishing. 33 ft of water just 550 ft from shore: a good cast reaches deep water. 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 550 ft from shore; 66 ft is far out (beyond 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. There is land ahead (an island, a headland or the far shore) 1.3 mi out. Right by the shore the bottom may drop even faster than shown. Where the bottom comes up to the surface there are shoals, rocks or an islet next to the profile.
