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 Fernandina Beach is -. The average water temperature in Fernandina Beach 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, 1st of March of 2021, the sun will rise in Fernandina Beach at 6:51 am and sunset will be at 6:25 pm. In the high tide and low tide chart, we can see that the first low tide will be at 3:47 am and the next low tide at 4:07 pm. The first high tide will be at 10:16 am and the next high tide at 10:40 pm.
Today we will have 11 hours and 34 minutes of sun. The solar transit will be at 12:38 pm.
The tidal coefficient today is 104. With such a high coefficient we will have big tides and the currents will also be very evident. At noon the tidal coefficient drops to 101. The day ends with a tidal coefficient of 97.
We can compare these levels with the maximum high tide recorded in the tide tables for Fernandina Beach which is of 8.2 ft and a minimum height of -1.6 ft.
The following graph shows the progression of the tidal coefficient in the month of March of 2021.These values give us a rough idea of the tidal amplitude in Fernandina Beach, 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 Fernandina Beach, the wind in Fernandina Beach and the surf forecast in Fernandina Beach before you go fishing.
Today we begin the day with the moon already visible in the sky, so first we will see the moonset, which will take place at 8:35 am at 270° west. Eventually, the moon will rise again in the east (94°) at 9:11 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
