Fishing barometer

1020 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 1016 hPa max 1020 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.

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.

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

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.

Frequently asked questions

Tides, coefficients and fishing times for Cap d'Antifer, explained.

What time is high tide in Cap d'Antifer today?

High water at Cap d'Antifer today is at 03:50 and 16:10. 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 Cap d'Antifer?

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 31 (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 Cap d'Antifer today?

The sun rises at 07:19 and sets at 20:36 local time, giving 13h 17m of daylight.

What is the water temperature in Cap d'Antifer today?

The sea surface at Cap d'Antifer is around 20.8°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 Cap d'Antifer today?

The significant wave height at Cap d'Antifer is currently 0.9 m with a period of 4.9 s between crests. Individual sets can stack up to roughly twice that height, so allow a margin at exposed marks and anchorages.
