Why this time?

Light: DawnMany sea fish feed hardest at dawn, dusk and after dark, when they're bolder close in.
Tide size: Mid tidesBigger spring tides move more water, stirring up food and colouring the water. Some fish prefer quieter neaps.

Wind: Light WSW 9 mphLight enough to fish comfortably, so it costs nothing.
Sea: Slight (0.3 m waves)Not fussy about sea state unless it gets rough.
Water: Sea 15.5°CComfortable between 4 and 22°C, best around 11.5°C.
