Sea and waves

The sea at Rodley

Hourly wind

Sea state

The wave model doesn't reach Rodley: 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

On the coast 4 mph SSW · gusts 6

The model doesn't separate offshore wind here: it's the same as on the coast.

N Sea Land

Onshore wind. The coast faces southwest and the wind blows straight in from the sea: more surf and backwash at the shore, and bait and boats drift toward land.

Water temperature

Water temperature →

Water now54.0 °F

Today 54.0–54.1 °F air: 47 / 58 °F

Satellite (yesterday) 57.2 °F measured 0.8 mi away

The satellite measured 3.2 °F more yesterday 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 52.7 °F by Tuesday 3.

Water about normal for late October.

Solunar periods

Today's activity: high

12:32–2:32 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity
1:03–3:03 pm Major · the moon passes underfoot · high activity
9:57–10:57 am Minor · moonset · medium activity
5:04–6:04 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.

For fishing, swimming and diving

Shore fishing. Very shallow: the water doesn't reach 16 ft within 0.5 mi. Cast far from the beach, ideally around high tide.
Swimming. A very gentle way in with plenty of shallow water, good for kids. At low tide the water can be far out.
Diving. Shallow: the water doesn't reach 33 ft within 0.5 mi. For deeper dives, take a boat farther out.

Inside bays, estuaries and harbors the bottom changes a lot from spot to spot (channels and shoals): use this only as a rough guide. There is land ahead (an island, a headland or the far shore) 0.5 mi out.
