The sea at Billingstad
Sea state
The wave model doesn't reach Billingstad: it's on inland water (an estuary, sound or sheltered bay) or far from the open sea. Wind is still available right here.
Wind on the coast and offshore
The model doesn't separate offshore wind here: it's the same as on the coast.
Offshore wind. The coast faces southeast and the wind blows from land out to sea: calm shore and clean waves, but watch the drift out to sea.

Moon phase and position
Today the moon is 226,618 mi away and looks 32′ 45″ across.
Solunar periods
Today's activity: high- 1:41–3:41 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity
- 2:14–4:14 pm Major · the moon passes underfoot · high activity
- 12:56–1:56 pm Minor · moonset · medium activity
- 4:31–5:31 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

- 33 ft deep600 ft
- 66 ft deep0.85 mi
- 164 ft deep1.3 mi
For fishing, swimming and diving
- Shore fishing. 33 ft of water just 600 ft from shore: a good cast reaches deep water. 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 600 ft and 66 ft at 0.85 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. The profile is turned slightly from the coast so it does not run into an island or a headland. Where the bottom comes up to the surface there are shoals, rocks or an islet next to the profile.
