Why this time?

Tide: 3h into the floodBass push in with the flood to hunt the margins and stay on through high water and the first of the ebb.
Light: DawnMost active around dawn and dusk.
Tide size: NeapsBigger 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 ENE 5 mphLight enough to fish comfortably, so it costs nothing.
Sea: Moderate (0.9 m waves)Some surf and colour in the water helps; flat calm and very rough seas don't.
Water: Sea 16.1°CComfortable between 10 and 22°C, best around 16°C.

Draft profile, not yet reviewed. Based on FishBase: Dicentrarchus labrax and Cefas, Catchwise: A Survey of Marine Recreational Fishing Activity in England and Wales (2026) and General UK sea-angling guidance (to be verified).
