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, 21th of January of 2025, the sun rose in Cape Paterson at 6:14:06 am and sunset will be at 8:42:22 pm. In the high tide and low tide chart, we can see that the first high tide was at 6:14 am and the next high tide will be at 6:31 pm. The only low tide of the day was at 12:29 pm.
Today we have 14 hours and 28 minutes of sun. The solar transit was at 1:28:14 pm.
The tidal coefficient today is 42, 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 drops to 39. The day ends with a tidal coefficient of 36.
We can compare these levels with the maximum high tide recorded in the tide tables for Cape Paterson which is of 3.0 m and a minimum height of -0.1 m.
The following graph shows the progression of the tidal coefficient in the month of January of 2025.These values give us a rough idea of the tidal amplitude in Cape Paterson, forecast in January.
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 Cape Paterson, the wind in Cape Paterson and the surf forecast in Cape Paterson before you go fishing.
The setting of the moon took place at at 256° southwest at 1:11 pm.
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
