Barometric pressure at Pier 14

Fish feel a pressure change before you do. The direction of the line matters far more than where it sits.

Reading the barometer

A falling barometer means a front is on the way. Fish tend to feed ahead of it, which is why the few hours before the weather turns can be the best of the week. Once the front passes and the pressure climbs again, the bite usually goes quiet for a day.

Standard sea-level pressure is 1013.25 mb. Anything from about 1005 to 1020 mb is ordinary here. What matters is the slope: a 3 mb drop over three hours is a real signal, a 0.4 mb wobble is noise.

Pressure is one of several inputs to this pier's bite score. Compare it against the tide table before you commit to a time.

Readings come from the National Weather Service gridded forecast for ILM, not from a barometer on the pier. All times Eastern.
