The waves you may find
- Most commonMost common0.1 ft
- Significant0.3 ft

Your diving day at a glance
The best window, 12:00 pm to 1:20 pm, combines slack water at high tide, little swell, light wind, weak current and the sun high.
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.

Moon phase and position
Today the moon is 226,461 mi away and looks 32′ 47″ across.
Solunar periods
Today's activity: medium- 12:35–2:35 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity
- 1:07–3:07 pm Major · the moon passes underfoot · high 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 fastThe bottom drops off fast: the water is 33 ft deep just 340 ft from shore. It reaches 164 ft at 800 ft.
From the shoreline (750 ft from Follafoss) out to sea, heading southeast.
How far from shore
- 16 ft deep250 ft
- 33 ft deep340 ft
- 66 ft deep450 ft
- 164 ft deep800 ft
For fishing, swimming and diving
- Shore fishing. Deep water close in: about 30 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 340 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. Right by the shore the bottom may drop even faster than shown.
