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 Falmouth Heights is -. The average water temperature in Falmouth Heights 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, 15th of December of 2019, the sun rose in Falmouth Heights at 7:02 am and sunset was at 4:12 pm. In the high tide and low tide chart, we can see that the first high tide was at 12:46 am and the next high tide at 12:53 pm. The first low tide was at 6:52 am and the next low tide will be at 7:28 pm.
Today we had 9 hours and 10 minutes of sun. The solar transit was at 11:37 am.
The tidal coefficient today is 76, a high value and therefore the range of tides and currents will also be high. At noon the tidal coefficient drops to 73. The day ends with a tidal coefficient of 70.
We can compare these levels with the maximum high tide recorded in the tide tables for Falmouth Heights which is of 1.6 ft and a minimum height of -0.3 ft.
The following graph shows the progression of the tidal coefficient in the month of December of 2019.These values give us a rough idea of the tidal amplitude in Falmouth Heights, forecast in December.
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 Falmouth Heights, the wind in Falmouth Heights and the surf forecast in Falmouth Heights before you go fishing.
The moon set at 10:03 am at 299° northwest. Eventually, the moon will rise again in the northeast (63°) at 7:51 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
