Fishing tide planner
Put tide movement, first light, and wind on the same clock.
A bite window is more useful when it shows what the water is doing around it. Perigee compares upcoming tide movement with daylight, wind, moon phase, and available water temperature for one station and time.
You get a practical timing window, the signals behind it, and an explicit unknown when a required source is unavailable.
Start with the decision
The questions worth answering before the plan hardens.
- Question 01
Does a useful tide change overlap dawn, dusk, or the time I can actually fish?
- Question 02
Will wind or gusts make this shoreline, pier, or small-boat plan worth revisiting?
- Question 03
Which part of the read comes from predictions, observations, or local context I still need to supply?
What Perigee combines
One window, with the inputs kept separate.
A single score can hide the reason a plan changed. The activity read keeps each coastal input visible and marks unavailable data instead of silently treating it as favorable.
- 01Tide movement
- The next useful high or low and the water trend around it.
- 02Wind
- Forecast speed, gusts, and direction at the selected station point.
- 03Light + moon
- Sunrise, sunset, moon phase, and whether low-angle light overlaps the water window.
- 04Water temperature
- Included when the nearby NOAA station reports it; clearly marked when absent.
What comes back
A result you can inspect, not a verdict.
Perigee is a planning aid. It explains the window and the state of its inputs so you can make the next check with better context.
- 01
A station-local window centered on the strongest available tide signal.
- 02
A plain-language read with cautions instead of a generic good-or-bad forecast.
- 03
Direct source freshness so missing data cannot quietly look favorable.
Field note
Species, season, structure, regulations, and local access still decide the real plan. This read organizes coastal timing; it does not predict a catch.
