Fishing barometer

1011 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 1011 hPa max 1022 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.

High exposure — protection is essential: hat, sunglasses and SPF 30+, and take shade around midday.

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.

Use SPF 50+, cover up and stay out of the sun through the middle of the day.

The sea surface holds around 23.3° today, moving between 23.1° and 23.5°. 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.

Frequently asked questions

Tides, coefficients and fishing times for Jacob, explained.

What time is high tide in Jacob today?

High water at Jacob today is at 07:20 and 19:50. 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 Jacob?

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 Jacob today?

The sun rises at 05:54 and sets at 17:34 local time, giving 11h 40m of daylight.

What is the water temperature in Jacob today?

The sea surface at Jacob is around 23.2°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.

How big are the waves in Jacob today?

The significant wave height at Jacob is currently 1.0 m with a period of 9.3 s between crests. Individual sets can stack up to roughly twice that height, so allow a margin at exposed marks and anchorages.
