Fishing barometer

29.80 inHg ↗ 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 29.80 inHg max 29.91 inHg 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.

Swell

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.

High tide turn

03:20 – 05:20

Water peaks at 04:20 then starts to fall.

Low tide turn

10:10 – 12:10

Water bottoms out at 11:10 then starts to rise.

High tide turn

15:30 – 17:30

Water peaks at 16:30 then starts to fall.

Prime window

21:20 – 23:20

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

Frequently asked questions

Tides, coefficients and fishing times for Quinhagak (Kwinak), Kanektok River, explained.

What time is high tide in Quinhagak (Kwinak), Kanektok River today?

High water at Quinhagak (Kwinak), Kanektok River today is at 04:20 and 16:30. 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 Quinhagak (Kwinak), Kanektok River?

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 37 (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 Quinhagak (Kwinak), Kanektok River today?

The sun rises at 07:48 and sets at 21:43 local time, giving 13h 55m of daylight.

What is the water temperature in Quinhagak (Kwinak), Kanektok River today?

The sea surface at Quinhagak (Kwinak), Kanektok River is around 13.0°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 Quinhagak (Kwinak), Kanektok River today?

The significant wave height at Quinhagak (Kwinak), Kanektok River is currently 2.0 m with a period of 6.6 s between crests. Individual sets can stack up to roughly twice that height, so allow a margin at exposed marks and anchorages.
