Model read
8 inputs
Primary reason
Flood is pushing bait into the modeled shoreline edge
Flow direction
Helping
flood is pushing bait into the modeled shoreline edge
+
Current speed
Helping
there is enough movement to keep this water from going flat
+
Wind / casting
Holding Back
wind forecast is unavailable, so this spot should be treated with more caution
+
Light window
Helping
the light window is helping this water
+
Visibility / clarity
Neutral
Visibility looks workable, but not strong enough to drive the score by itself. This is still a heuristic read, so its score effect is intentionally muted
+
Tide level
Neutral
Tide level is not separately scored for this Bay spot; current phase and speed carry the local flow read
+
Swell / surf
Neutral
Swell does not affect this Bay spot
+
Water temperature
Neutral
Water temperature is seasonal context and is not a strong hour-to-hour spot-ranking driver
+
Watch
Wind forecast is unavailable, so this spot should be treated with more caution
