Sea Temp Discussion

[Mark Mc]

Slooowly & steadily, the inside water is creeping back up. This started a couple of days after the week-long NW blow abated, and is accelerating with the recent southerly. Check it out:

buoy 46050 temps

Some of the last few hours increase could be from solar loading; night time readings will tell us.

Starting to look pretty darn good, rising about a degree each day. The daily peaks (solar loading as you refer) look like clockwork, a peak at 00 GMT (8 pm PDT) which should make sense. I'm getting excited, just a bit concerned about the wind on Fri/Sat as other threads have recently brought up.

Starting to feel a bit stuffy, might need a little fresh air away tomorrow.....

[Mark Mc]

Still climbing....57.4 and counting. Don't bet against tuna between the rockpile & chicken ranch pretty soon....Always have a few jigs ready to throw in!!

Wind is what moves currents, not swell. South or southwest wind is good, north wind is not. We'll keep our fingers crossed.

CR is up from 57 to 61 as well, and several more days of S-SW wind on the way. The 25 knots we can live without now :depressed: thank you very much!

[Mark Mc]

The thaw continues....Look what's happening to the temps today.....Marlin off SF, Dorado off Ft Bragg, (fill in the blank) off central Oregon any day now....get ready for the weird stuff; it's gonna happen you just watch.

Ya might as well hang up your clones boys--UglyGreen is gonna be hanging the first Striped Marlin of the year off the yardarm of the Little Green Tuna Bullet. I am hoping I am there to participate in the carnage.
Don't underestimate Ug--the boy's fishy...real fishy

Yikes....the bouy temps dropped dramatically starting yesterday evening. 3.9 deg drop in 2 hours (6 to 8 pm). 59.2 at 6 pm down to 53.4 at 8 am this morning. That ain't just from the sun going down....water mass is moving bigtime.

Look at the hourly temp column:
46050


the graph, again:

Ouch!

Hmm... was kicking around a tuna run Sunday, but the latest SST shows that it has cooled down significantly off of Depoe. Oh well, I wasn't that serious about it anyway, I'll wait until next weeks sometime.

thanks Mark Mc for giving me the heads up!

You're right, there is a big block of cold water out there. Hope it keeps moving right along and is gone by the time I head out on the pond tomorrow morning. You can see signs of it on Coastwatch, the big block of 15-16C water from 44N to 45N and 125W to 126W. Terrafin is a day old and not much help right now. The difficulty in seeing more detail right now is that cloud cover is blocking the satellite imagery on both sources, and not giving much if any information right now inside 125W.

We'll have to wait for the next round of satellite shots to tell here on land. Hopefully some of our fishing bros will post some numbers and water conditions when they return later this afternoon, PC data is a bit sketchy at the moment.

Is there a site with satellite data on water temp? (coastwatch?) If so could you post the url?
thanks!

Ewwww, that big pool of above average water has cooled off or moved. :depressed:



We're still above average for this area, just not as much as it was before this last big NW blow for the past couple of weeks.

Thanks, I got to that site but I couldn't find the picture you have posted here. How do you get to that one?
