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 the fall run to Suffolk County waters. Surfcasters along the South Shore are seeing blitzes of striped bass and bluefish pushing peanut bunker tight to the beach at first light and dusk. Inlets and near-ocean rips are holding roaming false albacore on clear, moving water. North Shore and Sound rockpiles are producing quality tautog (blackfish) once the tide starts to crank, with steady scup and black sea bass on nearby structure.
Best windows: a post-front NW breeze, outgoing tide, and water temps sliding through the low 60s. Match the hatch with slim metals, bucktails, and soft plastics when sand eels or spearing show; poppers and pencils when bass are on peanuts. For tog, target 15–40 ft pieces with green crab and be ready to set on the first solid thump.
Top tip: Keep one rod rigged with a small metal and teaser—cast long and burn it near the surface to quickly capitalize when albies pop for 60 seconds and vanish.
