The sea at Wischhafen
Sea state
The wave model doesn't reach Wischhafen: it's on inland water (an estuary, sound or sheltered bay) or far from the open sea. Wind is still available right here.
Wind on the coast and offshore
The model doesn't separate offshore wind here: it's the same as on the coast.
Offshore wind. The coast faces east and the wind blows from land out to sea: calm shore and clean waves, but watch the drift out to sea.
Water temperature
Water temperature →The satellite measured 4.3 °F more 2 days ago than the model gives now: the water is probably warmer 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 51.5 °F by Wednesday 4.
Water warmer than normal for late October (+1.2 °F).

Solunar periods
Today's activity: high- 1:46–3:46 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity
- 2:19–4:19 pm Major · the moon passes underfoot · high activity
- 11:42 am–12:42 pm Minor · moonset · medium activity
- 5:54–6:54 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.
