What is the current water temp forecast?

Does anyone know the water temp forecast? When will we start hitting single digits on the irish coast. Just wanted to know so I can start planning the remaining sessions for warm water targets... and shift to cold weather fish list!!!

hi mate if you look on the met eireann web site there is a section that gives out all the buoys around ireland and they will give you the water temp at the moment

Hi Simplywabs,
Part of my job involves monthly monitoring of inshore water temperatures from the Shannon estuary to Bannow bay. At the moment the temperatures on this part of the coast range (roughly) from 14C - 16C. Last December when we monitored them, they ranged from 6C-9C. I would imagine those are pretty typical temperatures for the rest of the coastline.

It's almost impossible to forecast what inshore temperatures are going to be, as so many factors influence them.

Regards,

Liam.

Thanks a lot Liam...
