Today's Tides

The tide is currently rising

Current Tide Explanation

The rising tide is increasing water depth as it moves towards the next high tide.

Increasing depth and water movement may allow fish to move across shallower ground and closer to submerged structure or shoreline feeding areas.

Reading the wind

Wind direction and strength can affect comfort, casting, and exposure around this location.

Wind gusts can be stronger than the average wind speed, so it's worth checking the gust forecast if you're planning to fish from an exposed location or need to know about potential changes in conditions.

Even modest wind can affect comfort and casting, especially where the water is exposed.

The marker shows the current wind direction, while the daily outlook below shows whether conditions are likely to build or ease over the coming days.

Interpretation

Pressure changes tend to matter more than the absolute value, especially when conditions are shifting.

Pressure is only one signal. Wind, tide, solunar timing, water movement, and local structure still matter.

Pressure movement

Recent readings build the pressure trend used for interpretation.

What are today's best fishing times at Portland Offshore?

Today's sunrise is 7:11 am and sunset is 6:02 pm. As a general guide, the hour before and after sunrise and sunset are often among the most productive fishing periods. No high tide or solunar period falls within the sunrise or sunset fishing periods today, so the other listed bite windows may provide better timing guidance. The sea-surface temperature is 14.6°C, some species may be less active in cooler water.
