One wave in seven is higher than the significant height, and about 3 times a day one reaches 0.4 ft. Before heading out, expect waves of up to 0.4 ft.

Wind on the coast and offshore

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

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

Solunar periods

Today's activity: medium
  • 1:12–3:12 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity
  • 1:44–3:44 pm Major · the moon passes underfoot · high activity
  • 9:23–10:23 am Minor · moonset · medium activity
  • 7:03–8:03 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.
