Fishing barometer

29.91 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 29.91 inHg max 30.03 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.

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

03:20 – 05:20

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

Prime window

07:00 – 09:00

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

High tide turn

14:00 – 16:00

Water peaks at 15:00 then starts to fall.

Low tide turn

22:10 – 23:59

Water bottoms out at 23:10 then starts to rise.

Frequently asked questions

Tides, coefficients and fishing times for Mansfield Cone, explained.

What time is high tide in Mansfield Cone today?

High water at Mansfield Cone today is at 04:20 and 15:00. 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 Mansfield Cone?

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 38 (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 Mansfield Cone today?

The sun rises at 06:39 and sets at 19:30 local time, giving 12h 51m of daylight.

What is the water temperature in Mansfield Cone today?

The sea surface at Mansfield Cone is around 17.0°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 Mansfield Cone today?

The significant wave height at Mansfield Cone is currently 1.2 m with a period of 11.2 s between crests. Individual sets can stack up to roughly twice that height, so allow a margin at exposed marks and anchorages.
