WATER TEMPERATURE ISLAMORADA (UPPER MATECUMBE KEY, FLORIDA BAY)

TODAY, WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 12, 2018

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

DECEMBER 12, 2018, 1:58 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 Islamorada (Upper Matecumbe Key, Florida Bay) is -. The average water temperature in Islamorada (Upper Matecumbe Key, Florida Bay) today is -.

SWELL ISLAMORADA (UPPER MATECUMBE KEY, FLORIDA BAY)

TODAY, WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 12, 2018

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

DECEMBER 12, 2018, 1:58 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.

SOLUNAR ACTIVITY: LOW

According to the solunar theory, today is a bad day for fishing, the fish activity forecast is low, however, this is just a chance so we encourage you to take your rod and try it during solunar periods.

The best times of day for fishing are:

MAJOR PERIODS

AVERAGE ACTIVITY

from 4:15 am to 6:15 am

Opposing lunar transit (moon down)

AVERAGE ACTIVITY

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

The solunar periods indicate the best times of day for fishing in Islamorada (Upper Matecumbe Key, Florida Bay). 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
