A new report from the International Shark Attack File at the University of Florida says shark attacks are most likely to occur on Sunday in less than 6 feet of water during a new moon. And there’s good reason: That’s when a lot of surfers are in the water. They also found that surfers wearing black-and-white suits are most likely to be attacked. Saturdays come in second place, followed by Fridays. Researchers looked at statistics from shark attacks that occurred in Florida’s Volusia County, dubbed the “Shark Attack Capital of the World,” between 1956 and 2008. There were 231 shark attacks between 1956 and 2008.
