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.
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 Friday, 19th of April of 2024, the sun rose in Ocracoke Inlet at 6:25:51 am and sunset was at 7:40:13 pm. In the high tide and low tide chart, we can see that the first high tide was at 5:26 am and the next high tide at 5:54 pm. The only low tide of the day was at 11:45 am.
Today we had 13 hours and 14 minutes of sun. The solar transit was at 1:03:02 pm.
The tidal coefficient today is 61 (average). At noon the tidal coefficient increases to 65. 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 Ocracoke Inlet which is of 3.0 ft and a minimum height of -1.0 ft.
The following graph shows the progression of the tidal coefficient in the month of April of 2024.These values give us a rough idea of the tidal amplitude in Ocracoke Inlet, forecast in April.
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 Ocracoke Inlet, the wind in Ocracoke Inlet and the surf forecast in Ocracoke Inlet before you go fishing.
The moon set at 4:31 am at 284° west. Then, the moon rose at 80° east at 3:54 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
