The model doesn't separate offshore wind here: it's the same as on the coast.

Cross-shore wind. The coast faces west and the wind blows along the shore: drift and current run parallel to the beach.

Solunar periods

Today's activity: medium
  • 1:46–3:46 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity
  • 2:19–4:19 pm Major · the moon passes underfoot · high activity
  • 10:17–11:17 am Minor · moonset · medium activity
  • 7:20–8:20 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 490 ft from shore. It reaches 164 ft at 1.5 mi.

From the shoreline out to sea, heading west.

How far from shore

  • 16 ft deep300 ft
  • 33 ft deep490 ft
  • 66 ft deep0.55 mi
  • 164 ft deep1.5 mi

For fishing, swimming and diving

  • Shore fishing. Deep water close in: about 19 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 490 ft and 66 ft at 0.55 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.
