The waves you may find

  • Highest expectedHighest1.5 ft

One wave in seven is higher than the significant height, and about 3 times a day one reaches 1.5 ft. Before heading out, expect waves of up to 1.5 ft.

Wind on the coast and offshore

On the coast 3 mph NNW · gusts 7
Offshore (17 mi S)Offshore 7 mph WNW · gusts 12

Cross-onshore wind. The coast faces northwest and the wind comes in from the sea at an angle: a bit more surf at the shore and drift along the coast, toward land.

Water temperature

Water now73.0 °F
Today 73.0–73.4 °F air: 61 / 67 °F
Satellite (2 days ago) 70.3 °F measured 0.8 mi away

The satellite measured 2.7 °F less 2 days ago than the model gives now: the water is probably colder than the forecast says.

Water temperature changes how fish behave: in very cold or very warm water they feed less. The water is steady these days, with no sudden changes.

Water warmer than normal for late October (+4.0 °F).

Solunar periods

Today's activity: medium
  • 1:32–3:32 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity
  • 2:05–4:05 pm Major · the moon passes underfoot · high activity
  • 9:58–10:58 am Minor · moonset · medium activity
  • 7:11–8:11 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.
