WATER TEMPERATURE ESPERANZA (VIEQUES ISLAND)

TODAY, MONDAY, 18 FEBRUARY 2019

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.

Current Temperature air / water

18 FEBRUARY 2019, 7:16 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 Esperanza (Vieques Island) is -. The average water temperature in Esperanza (Vieques Island) today is -.

SWELL ESPERANZA (VIEQUES ISLAND)

TODAY, MONDAY, 18 FEBRUARY 2019

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.

Current wave conditions

18 FEBRUARY 2019, 7:16 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.

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.

AFTERNOON

Tidal coefficient

18 FEBRUARY 2019

The tidal coefficient today is 99. 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 104. The day ends with a tidal coefficient of 108.

The heigh of the tide is 0.7 ft referenced to Mean Lower Low Water (MLLW).

We can compare these levels with the maximum high tide recorded in the tide tables for Esperanza (Vieques Island) which is of 1.0 ft and a minimum height of -0.3 ft.

2019 tidal coefficients

The following graph shows the progression of the tidal coefficient in the month of February of 2019.These values give us a rough idea of the tidal amplitude in Esperanza (Vieques Island), forecast in February.

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 Esperanza (Vieques Island) and the wind and wave forecast in Esperanza (Vieques Island) before you go fishing.

SOLUNAR ACTIVITY ESPERANZA (VIEQUES ISLAND)

TODAY, MONDAY, 18 FEBRUARY 2019

SOLUNAR ACTIVITY: HIGH

According to the solunar theory, today is a good day for fishing, the fish activity forecast is high.

The best times of day for fishing are:

MAJOR PERIODS

VERY HIGH ACTIVITY

from 11:44 am to 1:44 pm

Opposing lunar transit (moon down)

MINOR PERIODS

HIGH ACTIVITY

from 5:53 am to 6:53 am

Moonset

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

HIGH ACTIVITY

from 5:35 pm to 6:35 pm

Moonrise

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

SOLUNAR THEORY

The effects of the sun and the moon influence the activity of all living creatures on earth

The solunar periods indicate the best times of day for fishing in Esperanza (Vieques Island). 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
