Sun and Moon Times

The sun will be at it's highest point at . Today we have 16:20 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.

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.

Fishing Overview Newport

Newport, Wales sits on the highly tidal Severn Estuary, giving shore anglers access to powerful tides, coloured water and a reliable mix of estuary and open-coast species. The focus is the lower River Usk and nearby foreshore, where deep channels and sandbanks hold codling, whiting, flounder and rays through the cooler months, and bass, smoothhound and mackerel in summer. Most hotspots are easy to reach by road, making Newport a practical base for regular short sessions built around the tide.

Seasonal patterns are strongly defined here. From late autumn through winter, codling and whiting dominate; the best sport often coincides with big spring tides in coloured water, especially after a blow. Flounder, dab and the odd plaice show across the same period, preferring slightly less turbulent conditions. As water temperatures rise in late spring, bass and smoothhound move onto the banks and into the river mouth, with thornback rays appearing on rougher ground. Summer also brings mackerel, garfish and school bass to the outer estuary, with conger eels and dogfish a year-round fallback on most marks.

Key habitats around Newport are shaped by the Severn’s huge tidal range. The lower Usk channel holds deep, fast-flowing water with heavy scouring, ideal for codling and conger, while adjacent mudflats and sandbanks favour flounder and dab. Rock and broken ground patches further along the estuary edge, along with man‑made structures like quay walls and pilings, attract bass, wrasse and pouting. Reading the ground at low water is invaluable: note where gutters, drop-offs and patches of stone lie, then target these features as the tide floods.

Common techniques focus on strong tackle and secure rigs that can cope with big tides and debris. For most shore marks, a 12–13ft beach rod rated around 4–6oz, matched with a sturdy fixed spool or multiplier loaded with 20–25lb mono or 30–40lb braid, is the local standard. Pulley rigs and clipped-down paternosters with 4–6oz grip leads hold bottom and present baits cleanly in the tide. For flounder in the softer ground areas, lighter rods with two‑ or three‑hook flapper rigs and smaller hooks can be used when the tide eases.

Baits are crucial in the coloured estuary water. Lugworm and ragworm, either fresh or well‑kept, are prime baits for codling, flounder and whiting. Crab baits (peeler and softback) excel for bass and smoothhound, especially from late spring to autumn. Squid, mackerel and bluey cocktails pick out larger codling, conger and rays. In summer, small strips of mackerel or sandeel work well for school bass, pollack and mackerel around structure and in clearer water on neaps.

Tactical tips for Newport revolve around timing and positioning. Plan sessions around the middle hours of the flood and the first of the ebb, when fish push onto the banks and travel along channel edges. On the Usk, cast diagonally uptide so baits settle along the natural run into the channel. Step up hook sizes slightly in heavy colour to present a bigger scent trail, and keep rigs streamlined to avoid spin. Regularly check and re‑bait, as crabs can strip hooks quickly in warmer months. Locally, success often comes from learning one or two marks in detail, noting which tides, wind directions and stages produce bites for your chosen target species.

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 2 wharf(s) in this area.

South Railway Jetty - 16.73487166353km , South Wall - 16.79335648446km

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 11 beaches and bays in this area.

Osborne Bay - 6.85900672533km , Thorness Bay - 6.92197461835km , Gurnard Bay - 6.98244070347km , Calshot Beach - 12.43772622324km , Stokes Bay - 12.71053729842km , Ventnor Beach - 13.44814254391km , Sandown Bay - 13.49348645881km , Orchard Bay - 13.50262360632km , Mount Bay - 13.52280063329km , Woody Bay - 13.71493148159km , Bembridge Beach - 14.88900472589km

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 2 main harbours in this area.

Bembridge Harbour - 13.6628452119km, Gosport Premier Marina - 16.23057742154km
