Cross-onshore wind. The coast faces northwest 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.

Water temperature
Water temperature →The satellite measured 6.7 °F less yesterday 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 cools over the next few days: about 35.5 °F by Tuesday 3.
Water warmer than normal for late October (+2.7 °F).

Solunar periods
Today's activity: high- 1:37–3:37 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity

- 1:26–2:26 pm Minor · moonset · medium activity
- 3:46–4:46 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.
