Waves ease over the next few days. The biggest waves arrive on Thursday 29: 5.1 ft with a period of 9 s, from the north (moderate).

Moon phase and position
Today the moon is 226,493 mi away and looks 32′ 46″ across.
Solunar periods
Today's activity: medium- 1:04–3:04 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity
- 1:36–3:36 pm Major · the moon passes underfoot · high activity
- 8:25–9:25 am Minor · moonset · medium activity
- 7:46–8:46 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.
