Wind Speed and Direction
Wind Direction:
Wind Speed:
Wind Direction and Speed are one of the most important aspects for choosing a fishing spot. An offshore wind can help land-based anglers with longer casting distances, while an onshore wind will make kayak fishing safer. Often fish will also move to certain feeding areas depending on the wind direction. Check out the long term wind forecast at the charts below.
Fishing Barometer
Atmospheric Pressure:
Change since midnight:
Trend for next 6 hours:
Atmospheric or Barometric Pressure affects fish activity. The best fishing can be had on a rising barometer and also the time just before it is falling. A steady barometer in the higher ranges can also mean good fishing. A falling or low barometer reading without much change is usually not a very good time for fishing.
UV Effect on Fishing
As a rule of thumb, the higher the UV index, the deeper fish will move. Shallow water fishing is best done at times with a low UV index. When the UV is high, stick to early mornings, late evenings and shaded areas. The effect is less noticable in deeper water, but often a higher UV index can produce good results in the deep.

October Fishing Report
October brings steady action around Del Monte Forest’s kelp edges and rocky points. Expect a mixed bag of rockfish, lingcod, and cabezon from kayaks and cliff-accessible ledges when the swell is manageable. Along sandy pockets and coves, surf anglers see pulses of barred/striped surfperch with the occasional California halibut holdover on calmer days.
Best bite windows are dawn and dusk, especially on a rising tide. Conditions trend fall-like: cool mornings with patchy fog, lighter winds early, and a building afternoon breeze; plan around a small-to-moderate west swell. Water temps hover in the mid-50s, so slower presentations can outproduce when the water cools and clears.
Effective offerings: 3–5 inch swimbaits (anchovy/sardine patterns) for rockfish and halibut; metal jigs and flutter spoons for suspended fish; squid strips on dropper loops for lingcod; and mole crab imitations or Gulp! sandworms for surfperch. Keep leaders abrasion-resistant near kelp and reef.
Top tip: When swell is down, target the edges of visible kelp lanes and foam lines at first light—cast parallel to the structure and retrieve slowly to stay in the strike zone longer.
Best Fishing Spots in the greater Del Monte Forest 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 2 wharf(s) in this area.
Fishermans Wharf - 5.38419344579km , Municipal Wharf Number 2 - 5.61944374708km
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.

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.
Monterey Harbor - 5.43430768235km, Monterey Marina - 5.50792823861km
