Fishing
Environmental planning guidance, not a catch guarantee.

Best planning window

2 hours around the next tide change

  • Manageable wind0 mph sustained wind
  • Mostly dry0% precipitation chance
  • Falling tideConditions vary by species and shoreline structure
71/100 · Good
Crabbing
Conditions are secondary to seasons, closures and safety.

Best planning window

Near slack water, if the marine area is open

  • Regulations requiredConfirm the marine area is open before setting gear
  • Calm surface0 mph wind favors safer gear handling
  • Large tidal exchange9.6 ft can increase current around gear
23/100 · Poor
Surfing
Offshore model guidance with nearshore uncertainty.

Best planning window
