Fishing barometer

1011 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 1011 hPa max 1016 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.

The sea surface holds around 16.1° today, moving between 15.9° and 16.3°. 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

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

Major Peak 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.

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

04:30 – 06:30

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

High tide turn

07:10 – 09:10

Water peaks at 08:10 then starts to fall.

Low tide turn

14:30 – 16:30

Water bottoms out at 15:30 then starts to rise.

High tide turn

22:30 – 23:59

Water peaks at 23:30 then starts to fall.

Frequently asked questions

Tides, coefficients and fishing times for La Malbaie, explained.

What time is high tide in La Malbaie today?

High water at La Malbaie today is at 08:10 and 23:30. 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 La Malbaie?

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 40 (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 La Malbaie today?

The sun rises at 06:01 and sets at 19:16 local time, giving 13h 15m of daylight.

What is the water temperature in La Malbaie today?

The sea surface at La Malbaie is around 16.2°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.
