Nanaimo Solunar Calendar

The solunar chart below gives predictions for the calendar month based on relative positions of the Sun and moon to the earth. Using solunar tables allows fishermen, hunters and birdwatchers to determine the best days for these activities.

The table shows the likely level of activity in the far right column using a 5-star rating. These are the days when a higher level animal activity is predicted. Solar/lunar theory suggests that this will occur at specific times of the day - the solunar periods. Each day there are generally four such times; two "major periods"; and two, shorter "minor periods".

Note: all times are local and are in 24hr format.
