Fishing Tide & Conditions Guides
Turn tide predictions, marine weather, water temperature, and solunar periods into a practical trip plan. These guides explain what each signal means—and where its limits are.

St. Augustine and the Matanzas River
Outgoing Tide’s published destination guidance focuses on the water its guide team knows directly. The St. Augustine forecast connects NOAA station 8720576 with practical context for the Matanzas River, Intracoastal Waterway, marsh creeks, inlet, beaches, and nearby Atlantic water.

Read how tide timing, wind exposure, inlet conditions, daylight, seasonal targets, and official forecasts fit into one local trip plan.

Use the nationwide station search as a live-data tool. It identifies the source and station without presenting a generic destination page as local editorial reporting.
Open the live conditions dashboard →Start with the conditions that affect safety
Check official marine forecasts, warnings, wind, waves, visibility, lightning risk, access, and local regulations before optimizing for fish activity. A favorable tide or moon period never makes unsafe conditions acceptable.
Use several signals together
A tide table predicts water level at a reference station. Weather can move the observed level above or below that prediction, and water may turn later in a nearby inlet, creek, or backwater. Water temperature affects metabolism, while season, bait, habitat, pressure, and recent trends add context. The strongest trip plan combines these signals instead of relying on one score.
