Sun and Moon
The sun will be at it's highest point at . Today we have 11:11 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.

New Moon is generally a very productive time for fishing. Dark nights mean that many predators feed more actively during daylight hours. The combined gravity of sun and moon during New Moon days has a stronger effect on all water bodies, leads to increased food availabilty and hence better fishing.
  • Distance to earth:
    403,921 km
    Proximity:
    4.2 %
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 New Moon at 0% lumination. According to the Solunar Theory, today is a excellent day for fishing, but you need to cross check this with the current weather forecast for a final decision. Today some bite times coincide with sunrise or sunset. Those will be particularly good times for fishing and are indicated by sun icons. Currently we have a major fishing time. The next best fishing time ( ) starts in -6 hour and -17 minute. The gray time indicator displays the current local time.

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.

7 Day Fishing Weather
The weather plays an important role in fishing. Wind strenght and direction often determine where you can fish and where fish might be holding. Although high pressure is usually good for fishing, steep pressure changes often trigger feeding frenzies and are great times for fishing. Of course temperature has also a strong effect on fishing and comfort on the water. So make sure to cross check the weather forecast with the solunar fishing times to determine the best times to go fishing. The graph below shows you the 3 hourly weather progression over the next 7 days. Scroll the graph left or right to see more.

October Fishing Report

October brings mild fall conditions to Newport Beach with water temps in the mid-60s and clearer mornings. Inshore action is solid: look for California halibut along sandy troughs, roaming schools of Pacific bonito and mackerel near the piers, and kelp-line calico bass on calmer days. Surf anglers still find barred surfperch and the occasional yellowfin croaker in foamy cuts.

Best bite windows are dawn and dusk, especially on an incoming tide with light swell. Newport and Balboa Piers produce with sabiki rigs tipped with anchovy for bait, then switch to metals for marauding bonito. Along the jetties and harbor mouth, try a 3–5 inch swimbait on a 1/2–3/4 oz head for halibut or sand bass; slow-roll just off the bottom. In the surf, a Carolina rig with sand crabs or Gulp! sandworms excels for perch and croaker. Offshore kelp edges respond to slow-pitched jigs and squid strips.

Top tip: After a light Santa Ana wind event, take advantage of improved water clarity—fish parallel to structure and fan-cast to locate the halibut lane before committing to a drift.

Best Fishing Spots in the greater Newport Beach area

Wharf's or Jetties are good places to wet a line and meet other fishermen. They often produce a fresh feed of fish and are also great to catch bait fish. As they are often well lit, they also provide a good opportunity for night fishing. There are 1 wharf(s) in this area.

West Jetty - 5.59154941139km

Beaches and Bays are ideal places for land-based fishing. If the beach is shallow and the water is clear then twilight times are usually the best times, especially when they coincide with a major or minor fishing time. Often the points on either side of a beach are the best spots. Or if the beach is large then look for irregularities in the breaking waves, indicating sandbanks and holes. We found 15 beaches and bays in this area.

Harbours and Marinas can often times be productive fishing spots for land based fishing as their sheltered environment attracts a wide variety of bait fish. Similar to river mouths, harbour entrances are also great places to fish as lots of fish will move in and out with the rising and falling tides. There are 7 main harbours in this area.
