Today and tomorrow

For Saturday 24 October 2026 and Sunday 25 October 2026, the solunar windows and tides favour activity throughout Coromandel harbour. Today, the major windows occur from 22:32 to 00:32 and 10:09 to 12:09, while tomorrow features a major window from 10:56 to 12:56. These times are specific to the waters around Coromandel harbour, a location well-regarded for its sheltered channels and productive mussel farm edges. The biggest tide of these two days is the 2.7-metre high tide recorded on both Sunday morning and evening. Under a waxing gibbous moon, the solunar activity aligns well with the tidal movement, providing consistent opportunities for those targeting the harbour’s diverse channels. Please note that these times are calculated for the Coromandel harbour station and reflect the broader tidal influence across the immediate bay area. Anglers should plan their sessions around these primary windows to make the most of the tidal flow within the harbour’s unique coastal environment.

Frequently Asked Questions – Fishing Bite Times

What are fishing Bite Times?
Bite Times (also called Solunar periods) are predicted windows of higher fish activity based on the position of the moon and sun relative to Earth. There are usually two major periods and two minor periods every 24 hours.
What is the difference between major and minor bite periods?
Major periods occur when the moon is directly overhead or underfoot (lunar transit) and typically last about two hours. Minor periods occur around moonrise and moonset and usually last about one hour. Major periods are generally considered stronger.
Do Solunar Bite Times work in New Zealand?
Many experienced New Zealand anglers and charter operators use Solunar times, especially when they coincide with favourable tide stages. Major periods often align with the run-up to low tide, however results may vary by species, location, weather and water conditions.
How accurate are the times on this page?
Bite Times are calculated from astronomical positions of the sun and moon plus the nearest validated tide station. They are a useful planning tool that complements local knowledge, recent fishing reports, and what you actually observe while you’re on the water.
Why do I need to move the anchor on the map?
Both Bite Times and tidal level vary with location. Dropping the anchor at your fishing spot on Fishing News Bite Times gives more accurate bite times and tide data than general bite times which are often only based on a few major ports.
What does the Excellent / Good / Average rating mean?
The rating combines moon phase strength with how closely the major or minor periods overlap sunrise, sunset or key tide changes. The difference in height between high and low tides is greatest near new and full moon and these periods also produce stronger tidal currents.
