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 Rye Harbour is -. The average water temperature in Rye Harbour 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 Tuesday, 16th of August of 2022, the sun rose in Rye Harbour at 5:45:47 h and sunset was at 20:16:40 h. In the high tide and low tide chart, we can see that the first high tide was at 2:48 h and the next high tide at 15:04 h. The first low tide was at 10:18 h and the next low tide at 22:38 h.
Today we had 14 hours and 30 minutes of sun. The solar transit was at 13:01:13 h.
The tidal coefficient today is 75, a high value and therefore the range of tides and currents will also be high. At noon the tidal coefficient drops to 69. The day ends with a tidal coefficient of 62.
We can compare these levels with the maximum high tide recorded in the tide tables for Rye Harbour which is of 5.3 m and a minimum height of 0.1 m.
The following graph shows the progression of the tidal coefficient in the month of August of 2022.These values give us a rough idea of the tidal amplitude in Rye Harbour, forecast in August.
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 Rye Harbour, the wind in Rye Harbour and the surf forecast in Rye Harbour before you go fishing.
The moon set at 11:10 h at 280° west. Then, the moon rose at 76° east at 22:17 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
