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.
At this moment the current water temperature in Section Cove is -. The average water temperature in Section Cove today is -.
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 Monday, 20th of March of 2023, the sun rose in Section Cove at 7:47:24 am and sunset was at 8:00:16 pm. In the high tide and low tide chart, we can see that the first high tide was at 1:53 am and the next high tide at 1:49 pm. The first low tide was at 7:48 am and the next low tide at 8:17 pm.
Today we had 12 hours and 12 minutes of sun. The solar transit was at 1:53:50 pm.
The tidal coefficient today is 103. With such a high coefficient we will have big tides and the currents will also be very evident. At noon the tidal coefficient increases to 107. The day ends with a tidal coefficient of 109.
We can compare these levels with the maximum high tide recorded in the tide tables for Section Cove which is of 5.8 m and a minimum height of -0.3 m.
The following graph shows the progression of the tidal coefficient in the month of March of 2023.These values give us a rough idea of the tidal amplitude in Section Cove, 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 Section Cove, the wind in Section Cove and the surf forecast in Section Cove before you go fishing.
The moon rose in the southeast (106°) at 7:55 am and set in the southwest (259°) at 6:51 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
