Where the UK sea looks best to fish
Our 7-day calls, verified
Across the last 1952 checks, our 7-day conditions call landed within 10 points of the eventual conditions 75% of the time, with an average error of 8 points.
Every point on this map is a UK coastal tide gauge. Each morning the latest wind, tide and temperature forecast for that stretch of coast is scored from 0 to 100, so you can see at a glance where the sea looks best to fish over the next ten days.
The score is built transparently from four factors. Every spot starts at a baseline of 16 points. Wind is the biggest swing: a calm window adds up to 40 points, while a gale takes off as much again. A good tide range adds up to 25, a falling barometer adds 10, and a comfortable air temperature adds up to 20. Open any location's tide page to see the exact breakdown behind its score.
Slide through each day in four 6-hour windows, from a night session to an evening tide, across the next ten days.

This map scores fishing conditions at every UK coastal tide gauge from 0 to 100. Right now Penzance is scoring highest at 100 out of 100. Calm days with a moving tide tend to fish best.
Light wind, a good tide range (moving water brings feeding fish closer in) and a comfortable air temperature. Strong wind is the single biggest factor that pulls a day down.
Each location is scored for every 6-hour window from the forecast wind speed, the tide range and the air temperature in that window, on a 0 to 100 scale. It is a planning aid, so always check the local forecast and fish safely.
Ten days. Each day is split into four 6-hour windows (night, morning, afternoon and evening) and the slider scrubs through every one of them.
