The sea at La Poile
Sea stateSea state: slight
The waves you may find
- Most commonMost common1.2 ft
- Significant2.4 ft
- Highest expectedHighest5.0 ft
One wave in seven is higher than the significant height, and about 3 times a day one reaches 5.0 ft. Before heading out, expect waves of up to 5.0 ft.
Wind on the coast and offshore
Cross-offshore wind. The coast faces south and the wind comes off the land at an angle: calmer water near the shore, and bait and boats drift out to sea.
Wave height, next 7 daysWaves, next 7 days
Waves build over the next few days. The biggest waves arrive on Monday 2: 4.8 ft with a period of 6 s, from the southwest (moderate).
Water temperature
Water temperature →Water temperature changes how fish behave: in very cold or very warm water they feed less. The water cools over the next few days: about 41.7 °F by Wednesday 4.
Water colder than normal for late October (−3.1 °F).

Moon phase and position
Today the moon is 226,704 mi away and looks 32′ 44″ across.
Solunar periods
Today's activity: medium- 2:59–4:59 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity
- 3:32–5:32 pm Major · the moon passes underfoot · high activity
- 12:12–1:12 pm Minor · moonset · medium activity
- 7:52–8:52 pm Minor · moonrise · medium activity
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.
