Fishing barometer

1017 hPa ↘ Falling
  • 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 A steady barometer for a day or more means settled conditions and predictable, average feeding around tides and solunar peaks.
  • Falling Good at first — today A dropping barometer sparks a burst of feeding before the weather turns, then activity slows markedly as the front arrives.
min 1017 hPa max 1023 hPa Hover, tap or arrow-key the line to read any hour.

The barometer is falling ahead of a change in the weather. Fish often feed hard during the early part of the drop, then activity tails off sharply as the front moves through.

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.

Wear a hat, sunglasses and SPF 30+, and take shade around midday.

The sea surface holds around 20.8° today, moving between 20.7° and 20.9°. 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.

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

Frequently asked questions

Tides, coefficients and fishing times for Victoria, explained.

What time is high tide in Victoria today?

High water at Victoria today is at 02:00 and 15:30. 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 Victoria?

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 Victoria today?

The sun rises at 06:36 and sets at 19:48 local time, giving 13h 11m of daylight.

What is the water temperature in Victoria today?

The sea surface at Victoria is around 20.7°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 Victoria today?

The significant wave height at Victoria is currently 0.6 m with a period of 3.1 s between crests. Individual sets can stack up to roughly twice that height, so allow a margin at exposed marks and anchorages.
