Today the moon is 226,576 mi away and looks 32′ 46″ across.

Solunar periods

Today's activity: medium
  • 1:54–3:54 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity
  • 2:26–4:26 pm Major · the moon passes underfoot · high activity
  • 10:15–11:15 am Minor · moonset · medium activity
  • 7:37–8:37 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.
