The waves you may find
- Most commonMost common0.2 ft
- Significant0.4 ft
- Highest expectedHighest0.8 ft
One wave in seven is higher than the significant height, and about 3 times a day one reaches 0.8 ft. Before heading out, expect waves of up to 0.8 ft.
Wind on the coast and offshore
Onshore wind. The coast faces southwest and the wind blows straight in from the sea: more surf and backwash at the shore, and bait and boats drift toward land.
Wave height, next 7 daysWaves, next 7 days
Waves stay much the same all week. The biggest waves arrive on Monday 2: 0.7 ft with a period of 2 s, from the northeast (smooth).

The moon in Perast
Moon phase and position
Today the moon is 226,618 mi away and looks 32′ 45″ across.
Solunar periods
Today's activity: medium- 1:07–3:07 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity
- 1:39–3:39 pm Major · the moon passes underfoot · high activity
- 9:52–10:52 am Minor · moonset · medium activity
- 6:26–7:26 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

- 66 ft deep1,050 ft
- 164 ft deepnot within 2.1 mi
For fishing, swimming and diving
- Shore fishing. 33 ft of water just 850 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 850 ft and 66 ft at 1,050 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) 2.1 mi out. Where the bottom comes up to the surface there are shoals, rocks or an islet next to the profile.
