Water colder than normal for late October (−1.8 °F).

Your diving day at a glance

The best window, 12:30 pm to 3:30 pm, combines light wind, weak current and the sun high, though with some swell. Also worth a look from 8:30 am to 11:30 am, with light wind, weak current and the sun high, though with some swell.

We don't have a reliable tide for Carnaxide, so slack water doesn't count in the rating.

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: medium
  • 2:04–4:04 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity
  • 2:36–4:36 pm Major · the moon passes underfoot · high activity
  • 10:33–11:33 am Minor · moonset · medium activity
  • 7:39–8:39 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 quickly

The bottom deepens quickly: 33 ft of water 0.25 mi from shore.

From the shoreline (2.2 mi from Carnaxide) out to sea, heading southwest.

How far from shore

  • 16 ft deep700 ft
  • 33 ft deep0.25 mi
  • 66 ft deep0.4 mi
  • 164 ft deepnot within 3.1 mi

For fishing, swimming and diving

  • Shore fishing. 33 ft of water just 0.25 mi from shore: a good cast reaches deep water. Current and surf hit harder here.
  • Swimming. The water gets deeper little by little, but a few dozen yards out you can no longer stand.
  • Diving. Shore diving works here: 33 ft at 0.25 mi and 66 ft at 0.4 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.
