Sun and Moon
The sun will be at it's highest point at 12:48 pm.
Today we have 11:31 hours of daylight.
For shallow water fishing the twilight periods are often the most productive fishing times,
especially on days when a major or minor time will coincide with twilight.
In low light conditions predators have better cover for their ambush and often hunt in shallow
water.

We can compare the current moon distance to it's minimum and maximum distance from earth and express
that as proximity.
A high proximity means the moon is closer to earth. At 50% it would be at it's mean distance.
A high proximity causes big tides, currents and has a direct effect on increased bite times. A
proximity greater than 90% indicates a super moon.

Green and yellow areas indicate the best fishing times (major and minor). Blue areas indicate high and low tides.
The
center shows the current moon phase which is a Waxing Gibbous
at 83% lumination.
According to the Solunar Theory, today is a poor
day for fishing, but you need to cross check this with the current
weather forecast for a final decision.
Currently we have a major fishing time.
The next best fishing time (
) starts
in -8 hour and -22 minute.

Tide Graph
Times
| Tide | Time | Height |
|---|---|---|
| low | 03:27 am | 6.27 ft |
| high | 09:55 am | 15.29 ft |
| low | 04:30 pm | 4.86 ft |
| high | 10:42 pm | 16.7 ft |
Tide Coefficient at 09:55 am is 72
Tide Coefficient at 10:42 pm is 86
For fishing, stronger tides are often favourable as they cause stronger
currents
and more motion on the sea bed.
The above tidal coefficients give us an indication of how strong the tides
are
compared to their average.
A value over 90 indicates very strong tides, known as spring tides.
A low value indicates weak tides, known as neap tides. The tidal coefficient
can
range from 20 to 120 with a mean value of 70. A higher number usually
indicates better fishing.
