Solunar periods

Today's activity: medium
  • 1:54–3:54 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity
  • 2:27–4:27 pm Major · the moon passes underfoot · high activity
  • 10:22–11:22 am Minor · moonset · medium activity
  • 7:31–8:31 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 160 ft from shore. It reaches 164 ft at 0.3 mi.

From the shoreline (0.5 mi from Aktaío) out to sea, heading northwest.

How far from shore

  • 16 ft deep80 ft
  • 33 ft deep160 ft
  • 66 ft deep550 ft
  • 164 ft deep0.3 mi

For fishing, swimming and diving

  • Shore fishing. Deep water close in: about 48 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 160 ft and 66 ft at 550 ft 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. There is land ahead (an island, a headland or the far shore) 2.3 mi out. Right by the shore the bottom may drop even faster than shown.
