Your day at a glance

The best window, 6:50 am to 8:00 am, combines the 6:58 am high tide and sunrise, though with rising pressure. Also worth a try from 11:20 am to 12:20 pm, with the 12:13 pm low tide, moonset and a light onshore breeze, though with rising pressure. Also good from 12:00 am to 1:10 am, with the 12:14 am low tide, a major period and a light onshore breeze.

Species with the most records nearby: Atlantic cod, European flounder, whiting and pollock. October is one of the months when these are seen most: European flounder and pollack. What you can catch

Tide coefficient 79 for the 6:58 am high tide and 80 for the 7:18 pm high tide. Average coefficient. The water rises and falls 1.5 ft between the highest high and the lowest low: a large range for this place. 70 is an average tide here; 90 and above means spring tides; below 45, neap tides.

Semidiurnal: two high and two low tides a day, of similar height.

Your diving day at a glance

The best window, 11:10 am to 12:50 pm, combines slack water at low tide, little swell, light wind, weak current and the sun high. Also good from 3:50 pm to 4:30 pm, with little swell, light wind and weak current.

Slack water comes from the tide: in inlets, channels and between islands the water can keep running for an hour or two after. Ask the local dive shop.

Never dive alone and check with the local dive shop: this rating is a guide, not a substitute for a professional.

Solunar periods

Today's activity: high
  • 12:39–2:39 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity
  • 1:10–3:10 pm Major · the moon passes underfoot · high activity
  • 11:22 am–12:22 pm Minor · moonset · medium activity
  • 3:51–4:51 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 950 ft.

From the shoreline (900 ft from Gullaug) out to sea, heading southwest.

How far from shore

  • 16 ft deep80 ft
  • 33 ft deep160 ft
  • 66 ft deep450 ft
  • 164 ft deep950 ft

For fishing, swimming and diving

  • Shore fishing. Deep water close in: about 44 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 450 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) 1.4 mi out. Right by the shore the bottom may drop even faster than shown.
