Moon phase and position
Today the moon is 226,493 mi away and looks 32′ 46″ across.
Solunar periods
Today's activity: medium- 12:59–2:59 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity
- 1:32–3:32 pm Major · the moon passes underfoot · high activity
- 8:12–9:12 am Minor · moonset · medium activity
- 7:51–8:51 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
Deepens quicklyThe bottom deepens quickly: 33 ft of water 750 ft from shore. It reaches 164 ft at 2.9 mi.
From the shoreline (0.55 mi from San José) out to sea, heading west.
How far from shore
- 16 ft deep260 ft
- 33 ft deep750 ft
- 66 ft deep2.2 mi
- 164 ft deep2.9 mi
For fishing, swimming and diving
- Shore fishing. Deep water close in: about 19 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. 33 ft deep 750 ft from shore; 66 ft is far out (2.2 mi): for deeper dives, go by boat.
Rough estimate: here the data comes in cells of about 0.3 mi and misses details near shore (rocks, sandbars, small coves).
Source: NOAA ETOPO 2022 (CC0), cells of about 0.3 mi; depth below mean sea level. For reference only: not for navigation or anchoring.
