Lake Prince of Wales Dock (Swansea) — one of the area's fishing spots. About 11 ha in area. Nearest town — Swansea. This page shows an hourly bite forecast for today and the week ahead; the algorithm factors in the weather, atmospheric pressure, and the moon phase.
The shoreline is moderately indented: bays and points alternate with even stretches. Larger than 8 of the 11 waters nearby.
The water is sheltered: there is almost no fetch, so wind stirs it up very little.
Cloudy: 11–16 °C
Sunday, September 20
Chum one spot near a drop-off and wait for fish to arrive — don't chase them.
Prince of Wales Dock — Sunday, September 20
The bite is weak — fish are sluggish. Pressure is rising — activity tends to be more subdued. Peak 11:00–16:00.
The computed water temperature is around 15 °C — inside the 14–26 °C comfort range for Bleak, so baseline activity is high.
Bleak feeds by day — between sunrise and sunset; their times are in the sun-and-moon card above.
Pressure is rising 12 hPa over the day — the bite usually settles down after a rise.
One more input — the moon's feeding windows: within their hours the score sits higher than across the rest of the day. The window times are in the “Solunar feeding periods” card below.
September is a slow season for Bleak: the best months fall at another time of year.
These are the same values the bite curve above was computed from. How the forecast works
Partly cloudy · feels like +14°
The day is 4 min shorter than yesterday.
Sunshine hours count direct sun only — cloud cover cuts it, so it is shorter than daylight.
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.
