The sea at Minjilang
Sea stateSea state: smooth
The waves you may find
- Most commonMost common0.2 ft
- Significant0.5 ft
- Highest expectedHighest1.0 ft
One wave in seven is higher than the significant height, and about 3 times a day one reaches 1.0 ft. Before heading out, expect waves of up to 1.0 ft.
Wind on the coast and offshore
The model doesn't separate offshore wind here: it's the same as on the coast.
Cross-onshore wind. The coast faces east and the wind comes in from the sea at an angle: a bit more surf at the shore and drift along the coast, toward land.
Wave height, next 7 daysWaves, next 7 days
Waves stay much the same all week. The biggest waves arrive on Friday 30: 1.3 ft with a period of 3 s, from the east-northeast (smooth).
Water temperature
Water temperature →The satellite measured 3.1 °F less 2 days ago than the model gives now: the water is probably colder than the forecast says.
Water temperature changes how fish behave: in very cold or very warm water they feed less. The water warms over the next few days: about 89.4 °F by Wednesday 4.
Water warmer than normal for late October (+3.5 °F).

According to solunar theory, fish feed more when the moon passes overhead or underfoot (major periods, about 2 h) and when it rises or sets (minor periods, 1 h). It works best around new and full moon.
