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 Boca Chita Key (Biscayne Bay) is -. The average water temperature in Boca Chita Key (Biscayne Bay) 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.

We can compare these levels with the maximum high tide recorded in the tide tables for Boca Chita Key (Biscayne Bay) which is of 2.6 ft and a minimum height of -0.7 ft.
The following graph shows the progression of the tidal coefficient in the month of January of 2021.These values give us a rough idea of the tidal amplitude in Boca Chita Key (Biscayne Bay), forecast in January.
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 Boca Chita Key, the wind in Boca Chita Key and the surf forecast in Boca Chita Key before you go fishing.
