※ Download: Key west weather this weekend
Seas 1 to 2 feet. Bay waters smooth to a light chop, becoming a moderate chop.
These peak periods are reflected in green. Northeast wind 10 to 15 mph. Make sure you pack some rain gear just in case!
- Seas building to 3 to 5 feet.
The effects of Water Temperature Fish are cold blooded, which means their metabolism is strongly influenced by the temperature of their surrounding environment. Fish want to stay comfortable. Consequently, even a small change or break will cause fish to move from one location to another. In general, this behavior varies for each species and place, so we can not specify an ideal water temperature, however as a general rule we will try to avoid the temperatures abnormally cold in summer and too warm in winter. Remember, look for the comfort zones and you will find the fish. It is normal for waves to vary in height from one to the next. To give you an idea of the range of waves to expect at a given time, we consider the significant wave height as the average height of the highest third of the waves in the open sea. The significant wave height provides an estimation of wave heights recorded by a trained observer from a fixed point at sea because we tend to pay more attention to the larger waves. Today Tuesday, 13 th of November of 2018, the sun rose in Key West at 6:42 am and sunset will be at 5:41 pm. In the , we can see that the first high tide was at 12:25 am and the next high tide will be at 2:18 pm. The first low tide was at 7:42 am and the next low tide will be at 6:48 pm. Today we have 10 hours and 59 minutes of sun. The solar transit will be at 12:11 pm. The following graph shows the progression of the tidal coefficient in the month of November of 2018. These values give us a rough idea of the tidal amplitude in Key West, forecast in November. Large coefficients indicate important high and low tides; major currents and movements usually take place on the sea bed. But bear in mind that this tidal amplitude may be greatly affected by the weather and you should also consult the and the before you go fishing. The times reflected in the tidal table for Key West are predictions valid as references for sports fishing in areas near the coast of Key West. THEY ARE NOT SUITABLE FOR NAVIGATION. Remember that to practice any activity at sea like diving, windsurfing and fishing from a boat or underwater fishing should always be consulted with the official tide tables of the port of Key West. The indicate the best times of day for fishing in Key West. The major periods correspond to the lunar transit passage of the moon over the meridian and the opposing lunar transit and last approximately 2 hours. The minor periods begin with the rising and setting of the moon and its duration is approximately 1 hour. When the solunar period coincides with sunrise or sunset, we can expect more activity than initially planned. These peak periods are reflected in green. We additionally point out in the chart the periods of greatest activity during the year with a big blue fish on the period bar.
Seas 2 to 4 feet. Seas 6 to 10 feet. GMZ032-140930- Bayside and Gulf side from Craig Key to west end of Seven Mile Bridge- 1020 PM EST Tue Nov 13 2018 OVERNIGHT East to southeast winds near 10 knots. THURSDAY Northwest to north winds increasing to near 15 knots. Nearshore waters becoming a light to moderate chop. Visitors are encouraged to check with hotels and local officials regarding initial preparedness actions that may need to be initiated. The following graph shows the progression of the tidal coefficient in the month of November of 2018.
