Why this time?

Light: DarkMany sea fish feed hardest at dawn, dusk and after dark, when they're bolder close in.
Tide size: Mid tidesBigger spring tides move more water, stirring up food and colouring the water. Some fish prefer quieter neaps.
Season: Peak season in OctoberCounts whichever fish here is most in season.
Wind: Light NNW 10 mphLight enough to fish comfortably, so it costs nothing.
Sea: Slight (0.5 m waves)Not fussy about sea state unless it gets rough.
Water: Sea 17.2°CComfortable between 4 and 24°C, best around 13.15°C.
