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 Wednesday, 15th of January of 2025, the sun rose in Ponta da Cruz at 5:20:05 h and sunset will be at 18:08:29 h. In the high tide and low tide chart, we can see that the first high tide was at 5:28 h and the next high tide will be at 17:44 h. The first low tide was at 11:28 h and the next low tide will be at 23:51 h.
Today we have 12 hours and 48 minutes of sun. The solar transit was at 11:44:17 h.
The tidal coefficient today is 83, a high value and therefore the range of tides and currents will also be high. At noon the tidal coefficient drops to 82. The day ends with a tidal coefficient of 80.
We can compare these levels with the maximum high tide recorded in the tide tables for Ponta da Cruz which is of 3.0 m and a minimum height of -0.3 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 Ponta da Cruz, 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 Ponta da Cruz, the wind in Ponta da Cruz and the surf forecast in Ponta da Cruz before you go fishing.
The moon set at 6:43 h at 291° northwest. Eventually, the moon will rise again in the east (72°) at 19:46 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
