Solunar periods

Today's activity: medium
  • 1:34–3:34 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity
  • 2:07–4:07 pm Major · the moon passes underfoot · high activity
  • 10:05–11:05 am Minor · moonset · medium activity
  • 7:08–8:08 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.

Water depth

Drops off fast

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

From the shoreline out to sea, heading northeast.

How far from shore

  • 16 ft deep260 ft
  • 33 ft deep550 ft
  • 66 ft deep0.9 mi
  • 164 ft deepnot within 3.1 mi

For fishing, swimming and diving

  • Shore fishing. Deep water close in: about 24 ft just 330 ft out. Good for casting from rocks, jetties or the beach itself; 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. Shore diving works here: 33 ft at 550 ft and 66 ft at 0.9 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. Right by the shore the bottom may drop even faster than shown.
