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 Hungry Harbor is -. The average water temperature in Hungry Harbor 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 Thursday, 30th of March of 2023, the sun rose in Hungry Harbor at 6:58:29 am and sunset will be at 7:42:29 pm. In the high tide and low tide chart, we can see that the first low tide was at 2:32 am and the next low tide at 3:59 pm. The first high tide was at 8:27 am and the next high tide will be at 10:51 pm.
Today we have 12 hours and 44 minutes of sun. The solar transit was at 1:20:29 pm.
The tidal coefficient today is 30, a very low value, which means that there will not be a great difference between high tide and low tide. The currents will also be very small. At noon the tidal coefficient increases to 35. The day ends with a tidal coefficient of 41.
We can compare these levels with the maximum high tide recorded in the tide tables for Hungry Harbor which is of 10.5 ft and a minimum height of -2.0 ft.
The following graph shows the progression of the tidal coefficient in the month of March of 2023.These values give us a rough idea of the tidal amplitude in Hungry Harbor, 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 Hungry Harbor, the wind in Hungry Harbor and the surf forecast in Hungry Harbor before you go fishing.
The moon set at 4:38 am at 310° northwest. Then, the moon rose at 52° northeast at 12:53 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
