The sea at Bishopville
Sea stateSea state: slight
The waves you may find
- Most commonMost common1.2 ft
- Significant2.5 ft
- Highest expectedHighest5.1 ft
One wave in seven is higher than the significant height, and about 3 times a day one reaches 5.1 ft. Before heading out, expect waves of up to 5.1 ft.
Wind on the coast and offshore
Cross-offshore wind. The coast faces east and the wind comes off the land at an angle: calmer water near the shore, and bait and boats drift out to sea.
Wave height, next 7 daysWaves, next 7 days
Waves build over the next few days. The biggest waves arrive on Wednesday 4: 4.9 ft with a period of 6 s, from the east-southeast (moderate).
Water temperature

Moon phase and position
Today the moon is 226,746 mi away and looks 32′ 44″ across.
Solunar periods
Today's activity: medium- 2:40–4:40 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity
- 3:12–5:12 pm Major · the moon passes underfoot · high activity
- 11:08 am–12:08 pm Minor · moonset · medium activity
- 8:16–9:16 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.
