Cross-offshore wind. The coast faces east and the wind comes off the land at an angle: calmer water near the shore, and bait and boats drift out to sea.

Solunar periods

Today's activity: high
  • 12:31–2:31 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity
  • 1:02–3:02 pm Major · the moon passes underfoot · high activity
  • 8:52–9:52 am Minor · moonset · medium activity
  • 6:08–7:08 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.
