Moon phase and position
Today the moon is 226,576 mi away and looks 32′ 46″ across.
Solunar periods
Today's activity: medium- 2:34–4:34 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity
- 3:06–5:06 pm Major · the moon passes underfoot · high activity
- 11:09 am–12:09 pm Minor · moonset · medium activity
- 8:02–9:02 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.
