One wave in seven is higher than the significant height, and about 3 times a day one reaches 1.1 ft. Before heading out, expect waves of up to 1.1 ft.

Wind on the coast and offshore

Satellite (2 days ago) 72.1 °F measured 1.4 mi away

The satellite measured 2.9 °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 cools over the next few days: about 73.7 °F by Wednesday 4.

Water warmer than normal for late October (+2.9 °F).

Solunar periods

Today's activity: medium
  • 1:53–3:53 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity
  • 2:25–4:25 pm Major · the moon passes underfoot · high activity
  • 10:15–11:15 am Minor · moonset · medium activity
  • 7:35–8:35 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 0.3 mi from shore and 33 ft at 0.45 mi. It reaches 164 ft at 0.95 mi.

From the shoreline (1.1 mi from Megáli Mantíneia) out to sea, heading southwest.

How far from shore

  • 16 ft deep0.3 mi
  • 33 ft deep0.45 mi
  • 66 ft deep0.75 mi
  • 164 ft deep0.95 mi

For fishing, swimming and diving

  • Shore fishing. About 7.9 ft of water 330 ft out: long casts help, and so does a rising tide, which brings fish closer in.
  • Swimming. The water gets deeper little by little, but a few dozen yards out you can no longer stand.
  • Diving. Shore diving works here: 33 ft at 0.45 mi and 66 ft at 0.75 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.
