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

Solunar periods

Today's activity: medium
  • 1:50–3:50 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity
  • 2:22–4:22 pm Major · the moon passes underfoot · high activity
  • 10:14–11:14 am Minor · moonset · medium activity
  • 7:30–8:30 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 490 ft from shore and 33 ft at 0.85 mi. It reaches 164 ft at 1.4 mi.

From the shoreline (1.1 mi from Karathona) out to sea, heading south.

How far from shore

  • 16 ft deep490 ft
  • 33 ft deep0.85 mi
  • 66 ft deep1 mi
  • 164 ft deep1.4 mi

For fishing, swimming and diving

  • Shore fishing. Shallow, gradual bottom (16 ft at 490 ft): cast far from the beach and fish the high tide, when there is more water close in.
  • Swimming. A very gentle way in with plenty of shallow water, good for kids. At low tide the water can be far out.
  • Diving. Shallow near shore: you only reach 33 ft at 0.85 mi. For dives deeper than 33 ft, 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. Where the bottom comes up to the surface there are shoals, rocks or an islet next to the profile.
