Wind on the coast and offshore
Onshore wind. The coast faces northwest and the wind blows straight in from the sea: more surf and backwash at the shore, and bait and boats drift toward land.

The moon in Sykea
Moon phase and position
Today the moon is 226,597 mi away and looks 32′ 45″ across.
Solunar periods
Today's activity: medium- 1:51–3:51 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity
- 2:23–4:23 pm Major · the moon passes underfoot · high activity
- 10:17–11:17 am Minor · moonset · medium activity
- 7:28–8:28 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 slopeThe bottom slopes gently: 16 ft deep 1,100 ft from shore and 33 ft at 0.35 mi. It reaches 164 ft at 0.9 mi.
From the shoreline out to sea, heading north.

- 33 ft deep0.35 mi
- 66 ft deep0.65 mi
- 164 ft deep0.9 mi
For fishing, swimming and diving
- Shore fishing. Shallow, gradual bottom (16 ft at 1,100 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. Shore diving works here: 33 ft at 0.35 mi and 66 ft at 0.65 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. The profile is turned slightly from the coast so it does not run into an island or a headland. Where the bottom comes up to the surface there are shoals, rocks or an islet next to the profile.
