WATER TEMPERATURE PLUM ISLAND (MERRIMACK RIVER ENTRANCE)

TODAY, TUESDAY, JUNE 11, 2024

Current Temperature air / water

JUNE 11, 2024, 6:21 am

Water temperature plays an important role in the behavior of fish. When the water is cold, fish are lethargic and inactive, and the same happens if the water is too hot.

At this moment the current water temperature in Plum Island (Merrimack River Entrance) is -. The average water temperature in Plum Island (Merrimack River Entrance) today is -.

The effects of Water Temperature

Fish are cold blooded, which means their metabolism is strongly influenced by the temperature of their surrounding environment. Fish want to stay comfortable. Consequently, even a small change or break will cause fish to move from one location to another.

In general, this behavior varies for each species and place, so we can not specify an ideal water temperature, however as a general rule we will try to avoid the temperatures abnormally cold in summer and too warm in winter. Remember, look for the comfort zones and you will find the fish.

NOTICE

Our prediction algorithm for water temperature is in development phase. Although in most places we get a value very close to the actual sea water temperature, it may not be accurate in certain areas. Please, use with caution.

Current wave conditions

JUNE 11, 2024, 6:21 am

Wave direction - (-°)

Significant height -

Wave period -

Most frequent waves

The most frequent wave height will be about half the height of the significant wave.

Significant height

About 14% of waves will be higher than the significant wave height (about 1 in every 7 waves).

Maximum waves

It is normal to expect a wave of twice the height of the significant wave about 3 times in 24 hours.

This means at this moment you need to be prepared for a wave of - before heading out on the water.

Significant wave height

It is normal for waves to vary in height from one to the next. To give you an idea of the range of waves to expect at a given time, we consider the significant wave height as the average height of the highest third of the waves in the open sea.

The significant wave height provides an estimation of wave heights recorded by a trained observer from a fixed point at sea because we tend to pay more attention to the larger waves.

All the times are generated in local time in Massachusetts and the daylight saving time change has also been borne in mind for your convenience, so you don't need to add or subtract anything.

The heights are expressed in feet referenced to Mean Lower Low Water (MLLW). It is the average of the lower low water height of each tidal day observed over the official time segment over which tide observations are taken and reduced to obtain mean value.

SOLUNAR ACTIVITY PLUM ISLAND (MERRIMACK RIVER ENTRANCE)

TODAY, TUESDAY, JUNE 11, 2024

SOLUNAR ACTIVITY: LOW

According to the solunar theory, today is a bad day for fishing, the fish activity forecast is low, however, this is just a chance so we encourage you to take your rod and try it during solunar periods.

The best times of day for fishing are:

MAJOR PERIODS

AVERAGE ACTIVITY

from 4:00 am to 6:00 am

Opposing lunar transit (moon down)

This period also coincides with sunrise; therefore the sun will exercise more influence, possibly obtaining greater activity than expected.

AVERAGE ACTIVITY

from 4:12 pm to 6:12 pm

Lunar transit (moon up)

MINOR PERIODS

LOW ACTIVITY

from 9:27 am to 10:27 am

Moonrise

LOW ACTIVITY

from 11:57 pm to 12:57 am

Moonset

SOLUNAR THEORY

OUTSTANDING PERIODS

best periods of the year

The solunar periods indicate the best times of day for fishing in Plum Island (Merrimack River Entrance). The major periods correspond to the lunar transit (passage of the moon over the meridian) and the opposing lunar transit and last approximately 2 hours. The minor periods begin with the rising and setting of the moon and its duration is approximately 1 hour.

When the solunar period coincides with sunrise or sunset, we can expect more activity than initially planned. These peak periods are reflected in green. We additionally point out in the chart the periods of greatest activity during the year with a big blue fish on the period bar + info
