Solunar periods

Today's activity: medium
  • 12:58–2:58 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity
  • 1:30–3:30 pm Major · the moon passes underfoot · high activity
  • 8:21–9:21 am Minor · moonset · medium activity
  • 7:36–8:36 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.

The bottom slopes gently: 16 ft deep 0.5 mi from shore and 33 ft at 0.55 mi.

  • 33 ft deep0.55 mi
  • 66 ft deep1.2 mi
  • 164 ft deepnot within 3.1 mi

For fishing, swimming and diving

  • Shore fishing. Shallow, gradual bottom (16 ft at 0.5 mi): cast far from the beach and fish the high tide, when there is more water close in.
  • Swimming. A very gentle way in with plenty of shallow water, good for kids. At low tide the water can be far out.
  • Diving. 33 ft deep 0.55 mi from shore; 66 ft is far out (1.2 mi): for deeper dives, go by boat.

Where the bottom comes up to the surface there are shoals, rocks or an islet next to the profile.
