Waves stay much the same all week. The biggest waves arrive on Thursday 29: 3.1 ft with a period of 7 s, from the east (slight).

Solunar periods
Today's activity: medium- 1:01–3:01 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity

- 8:26–9:26 am Minor · moonset · 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.
