Today's activity: medium
  • 1:45–3:45 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity

  • 10:25–11:25 am Minor · moonset · medium activity
  • 7:10–8:10 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

Deepens quickly

The bottom deepens quickly: 33 ft of water 800 ft from shore. It reaches 164 ft at 1.4 mi.

From the shoreline (500 ft from Porto Cervo) out to sea, heading northeast.

How far from shore

  • 16 ft deep480 ft
  • 33 ft deep800 ft
  • 66 ft deep0.6 mi
  • 164 ft deep1.4 mi

For fishing, swimming and diving

  • Shore fishing. 33 ft of water just 800 ft from shore: a good cast reaches deep water. Current and surf hit harder here.
  • 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 800 ft and 66 ft at 0.6 mi from shore.
