Tide size: Mid tidesBigger tides stir up food and colour the water.
Season: Peak season in OctoberBest from June to October. A few are still caught through winter.
Wind: Light WSW 13 mphLight enough to fish comfortably, so it costs nothing.
Sea: Moderate (1.3 m waves)Some surf and colour in the water helps; flat calm and very rough seas don't.
