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 1016 hPa max 1022 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.

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

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

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.

Low tide turn

00:00 – 01:10

Water bottoms out at 00:10 then starts to rise.

Prime window

04:50 – 06:50

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

Low tide turn

10:50 – 12:50

Water bottoms out at 11:50 then starts to rise.

Prime window

17:30 – 19:30

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

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

Frequently asked questions

Tides, coefficients and fishing times for Port-Menier, explained.

What time is high tide in Port-Menier today?

High water at Port-Menier today is at 05:50 and 18:30. 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 Port-Menier?

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 Port-Menier today?

The sun rises at 05:35 and sets at 18:56 local time, giving 13h 21m of daylight.

What is the water temperature in Port-Menier today?

The sea surface at Port-Menier is around 15.7°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 Port-Menier today?

The significant wave height at Port-Menier is currently 0.7 m with a period of 3.8 s between crests. Individual sets can stack up to roughly twice that height, so allow a margin at exposed marks and anchorages.
