Fishing barometer

1015 hPa ↗ Rising
  • Rising Very good — today Rising pressure after a low signals settling weather — fish feed confidently and this is often the best barometer window of all.
  • Stable Normal activity 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 1013 hPa max 1017 hPa Hover, tap or arrow-key the line to read any hour.

The barometer is rising, which usually switches feeding back on: fish sense settling conditions and move to feed with confidence. A rising trend after a spell of low pressure is one of the strongest signals to get out on the water.

UV index

solar protection

UV 9

Very high

Very high exposure — unprotected skin burns quickly. Cover up, reapply sunscreen often and keep out of the midday sun.

1–2 · Low
Little risk — most people need no sun protection.
3–7 · Moderate to high
Wear a hat, sunglasses and SPF 30+, and take shade around midday.
8+ · Very high to extreme
Use SPF 50+, cover up and stay out of the sun through the middle of the day.

The sea surface holds around 27.9° today, moving between 27.7° and 28.0°. 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.

Best fishing times today

Slow

Solunar theory rates today a slow day for fishing at Aracati — plan around the major and minor periods below.

Major Peak activity

03:16 – 05:16

Moon overhead (lunar transit)

Overlaps sunrise or sunset
Minor Average activity

09:49 – 10:49

Moonset

Minor Average activity

Moonrise

Major period Minor period Daylight

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.

When to go this week, and which days of September are worth the drive.

Bite windows

Thursday 3 September

Fish feed hardest when the water starts moving — plan around the hour before and after each tide turn, and doubly so where a turn meets a solunar major period.

Prime window

01:20 – 03:20

Tide turn overlaps a major solunar period — the best bite of the day.

High tide turn

07:30 – 09:30

Water peaks at 08:30 then starts to fall.

Low tide turn

13:30 – 15:30

Water bottoms out at 14:30 then starts to rise.

High tide turn

20:00 – 22:00

Water peaks at 21:00 then starts to fall.

Frequently asked questions

Tides, coefficients and fishing times for Aracati, explained.

What time is high tide in Aracati today?

High water at Aracati today is at 08:30 and 21:00. 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 Aracati?

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 41 (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 Aracati today?

The sun rises at 05:29 and sets at 17:31 local time, giving 12h 02m of daylight.

What is the water temperature in Aracati today?

The sea surface at Aracati is around 28.0°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.
