Fishing & Surf Forecast — Quiberon Beach

Solunar feeding times, surf ratings and the best hours on the water at Quiberon Beach.

The fishing index blends solunar theory — moon phase plus major and minor feeding windows — with local weather, computed from open data and local astronomy. Surf ratings score open marine-model data against what this coast works best with. Use them to pick your times: they are planning aids, not safety advice.

How the Fishing & Surf Index works

Frequently asked questions

What is the fishing index based on?
It combines solunar theory — moon phase plus the major and minor feeding windows that track the moon's transit, moonrise and moonset — with local weather factors such as wind, pressure and tide state.
When is the best time to fish at Quiberon Beach?
The strongest bites cluster in the major solunar windows, especially where they overlap dawn or dusk. Check today's hourly activity chart and plan to be on the sand an hour before a major window opens.
How is the surf rating calculated?
Each hour is scored on swell height, period and direction, plus wind speed and its state relative to the coast. For curated spots the score is tuned to the break's optimal swell window; otherwise it reflects general conditions.
