I have fed the fish in my pond from the same spot for as long as I've owned the house. I feed on the SW corner of the pond, the wind is typically West or some variant of it.

I have not seen the pond get any shallower in that area.

With that said, the feeder throws food a good 50'-60' and about 40' wide at the widest point.

The food typically drifts with the wind, and fish on the other side of the pond end up eating the leftover floating pellets.
