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.
We consider the waves in the open sea.
The waves you will find on the shore can be slightly affected by the orientation of the coastline and the seabed of the beaches, although in most cases they are usually equivalent.
Today Tuesday, 19th of March of 2024, the sun rose in Mombasa at 6:25:28 h and sunset will be at 18:32:28 h. In the high tide and low tide chart, we can see that the first low tide was at 6:45 h and the next low tide will be at 18:37 h. The only high tide of the day will be at 13:04 h.
Today we have 12 hours and 7 minutes of sun. The solar transit will be at 12:28:58 h.
The tidal coefficient today is 40, a low value, which means that the range (difference between high tide and low tide) will be lower than on other occasions and the currents will also be small. At noon the tidal coefficient increases to 46. The day ends with a tidal coefficient of 52.
We can compare these levels with the maximum high tide recorded in the tide tables for Mombasa which is of 4.0 m and a minimum height of -0.2 m.
The following graph shows the progression of the tidal coefficient in the month of March of 2024.These values give us a rough idea of the tidal amplitude in Mombasa, forecast in March.
Large coefficients indicate important high and low tides; major currents and movements usually take place on the sea bed. But bear in mind that this tidal amplitude may be greatly affected by the weather and you should also consult the weather forecast in Mombasa, the wind in Mombasa and the surf forecast in Mombasa before you go fishing.
The moon set at 1:52 h at 297° northwest. Eventually, the moon will rise again in the northeast (64°) at 14:36 h.
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
