Dorset — Wednesday, October 21
The bite is moderate — fish feed in short bursts. A thunderstorm is possible: activity rises before the front and drops after. Peak 11:00–16:00.
The computed water temperature is around 12 °C — inside the 10–18 °C comfort range for Ballan wrasse, so baseline activity is high.
Ballan wrasse feeds by day — between sunrise and sunset; their times are in the sun-and-moon card above.
Pressure is rising 9 hPa over the day — the bite usually settles down after a rise.
October is an active season for Ballan wrasse here.
These are the same values the bite curve above was computed from. How the forecast works
Drizzle · feels like +3°
The day is 4 min shorter than yesterday.
Sunshine hours count direct sun only — cloud cover cuts it, so it is shorter than daylight.
Geomagnetic fieldunsettled, Kp 4
Kp index — NOAA data. Not part of the bite score: catches show no link between geomagnetic storms and the bite.
The windows are set by the moon's transit and rise, and the forecast above already accounts for them: within these hours the bite score sits higher than across the rest of the day, while the day's overall level still comes from the catch-calibrated model.
