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 Heits is -. The average water temperature in Heits 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 Sunday, 3rd of July of 2022, the sun rose in Heits at 5:57:21 h and sunset will be at 17:40:31 h. In the high tide and low tide chart, we can see that the first high tide was at 0:34 h and the next high tide will be at 16:16 h. The first low tide was at 8:17 h and the next low tide will be at 22:31 h.
Today we have 11 hours and 43 minutes of sun. The solar transit was at 11:48:56 h.
The tidal coefficient today is 61 (average). At noon the tidal coefficient drops to 59. The day ends with a tidal coefficient of 58.
We can compare these levels with the maximum high tide recorded in the tide tables for Heits which is of 8.1 m and a minimum height of 0.1 m.
The following graph shows the progression of the tidal coefficient in the month of July of 2022.These values give us a rough idea of the tidal amplitude in Heits, forecast in July.
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 Heits, the wind in Heits and the surf forecast in Heits before you go fishing.
The moon rose in the east (71°) at 9:02 h and will set in the west (286°) at 21:05 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
