Fishing barometer

1018 hPa → Stable
  • Rising Very good Rising pressure after a low signals settling weather — fish feed confidently and this is often the best barometer window of all.
  • Stable Normal activity — today A steady barometer for a day or more means settled conditions and predictable, average feeding around tides and solunar peaks.
  • Falling Good at first A dropping barometer sparks a burst of feeding before the weather turns, then activity slows markedly as the front arrives.
min 1014 hPa max 1022 hPa Hover, tap or arrow-key the line to read any hour.

The barometer is holding steady. Expect routine feeding behaviour, with the usual peaks around tide changes and the solunar periods rather than any pressure-driven surge.

Moderate exposure — wear sunglasses and apply SPF 30+ if you are out over the middle of the day.

Little risk — most people need no sun protection.

The sea surface holds around 18.2° today, moving between 18.1° and 18.2°. Water temperature sets the pace of fish metabolism, so even a small shift can change where fish hold and how actively they feed.

Very high High Average Low

A larger coefficient means a wider gap between high and low water, so the strongest currents run along the sea bed. Tidal range also shifts with the weather — check the wind and swell before you head out.

Swell

Most frequent waves 1.4 m About half the significant height — what you will see most of the time.
Significant height 2.9 m The standard forecast figure — roughly 1 wave in 7 runs higher, on a 9.8 second period.

These figures describe the swell out in open water. Closer to the beach the waves shift with the shape of the coastline and the seabed, though in most spots they end up broadly similar.

Major periods track the moon's transit and opposing transit and run about two hours; minor periods open at moonrise and moonset and last about an hour. When a period lands on sunrise or sunset, activity climbs higher still — and that overlap happens today.

Heights are metres above the station's chart datum, so the biggest tides can dip just below zero. Every time shown is Hillarys local time, with daylight saving already applied.

Frequently asked questions

Tides, coefficients and fishing times for Hillarys, explained.

What time is high tide in Hillarys today?

High water at Hillarys today is at 01:00. The full list of high and low tide times is in the table above and refreshes every day.

Is today a good day to fish in Hillarys?

Based on solunar theory the fishing rating today is Slow. The strongest windows are the major periods around the lunar transit, which often line up with sunrise and sunset.

What is the tidal coefficient and why does it matter?

The coefficient runs from 0 to 120 and measures the tidal range — today it is 32 (Low). Higher numbers mean stronger currents and a bigger gap between high and low water, which matters for fishing, diving and boating.

When are sunrise and sunset in Hillarys today?

The sun rises at 06:30 and sets at 18:02 local time, giving 11h 32m of daylight.

What is the water temperature in Hillarys today?

The sea surface at Hillarys is around 18.1°C right now. Water temperature sets the pace of fish metabolism, so the hourly strip above is worth a glance — even a small shift can change where fish hold and how actively they feed.

How big are the waves in Hillarys today?

The significant wave height at Hillarys is currently 2.9 m with a period of 9.8 s between crests. Individual sets can stack up to roughly twice that height, so allow a margin at exposed marks and anchorages.
