TIDAL COEFFICIENT FUNCHAL

TODAY, SUNDAY, 25 SEPTEMBER 2016

MORNING

AFTERNOON

Tidal coefficient

25 SEPTEMBER 2016

The tidal coefficient today is 53 (average). At noon the tidal coefficient increases to 58. The day ends with a tidal coefficient of 63.

The heights today are 1.4 m, 1.7 m, 1.2 m and 1.7 m referenced to Lowest Astronomical Tide (LAT).

We can compare these levels with the maximum high tide recorded in the tide tables for Funchal which is of 2.9 m and a minimum height of 0.1 m.

tidal coefficients for the entire year 2016

2016 tidal coefficients

The following graph shows the progression of the tidal coefficient in the month of September of 2016.These values give us a rough idea of the tidal amplitude in Funchal, forecast in September.

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.

SOLUNAR ACTIVITY FUNCHAL

TODAY, SUNDAY, 25 SEPTEMBER 2016

SOLUNAR ACTIVITY: AVERAGE

According to the solunar theory, today is an average day for fishing, the fish activity forecast is average.

The best times of day for fishing are:

MAJOR PERIODS

HIGH ACTIVITY

from 9:41 h to 11:41 h

Lunar transit (moon up)

HIGH ACTIVITY

from 22:10 h to 0:10 h

Opposing lunar transit (moon down)

MINOR PERIODS

AVERAGE ACTIVITY

from 2:42 h to 3:42 h

Moonrise

AVERAGE ACTIVITY

from 16:41 h to 17:41 h

Moonset

SOLUNAR THEORY

The effects of the sun and the moon influence the activity of all living creatures on earth

3:42 h

2:42 h

11:41 h

9:41 h

17:41 h

16:41 h

22:10 h

The solunar periods indicate the best times of day for fishing in Funchal. 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 + info
