FAQ

Where does the Jupiter fishing data come from?

Wind, waves and water temperature come from NOAA National Data Buoy Center stations 41114, LKWF1 (the first station with a recent reading is used for each value). Tides are NOAA CO-OPS predictions for Jupiter Inlet, south jetty, FL (station 8722495). The forecast is the National Weather Service point forecast for Jupiter, FL.

What does the Jupiter bite score mean?

It is a 0–10 estimate of how good conditions look for blue marlin and mahi-mahi offshore and redfish inshore, based on sea state, water temperature, tide movement and forecast storms. It does not count fish and it is not a safety rating.

How often is it updated?

Readings are fetched from NOAA and the NWS and cached for about 15 minutes. Buoys report every 10 to 60 minutes; each reading shows when it was observed.
