Seychelles · Farquhar Atoll
Giant trevally should be the day — the lagoon sand, then the passes if the GT are up. Work the leeward shore — fly gets harder.
Southern atoll. GT in the passes, bones on the lagoon. Farther, wilder, still lodge water. Modeled tide. Do not invent a honey hole on an atoll this mapped.
- ⚠ This brief is for 2026-06-28, not this morning. Wind is a forecast. Observed water versus the table is a today-only instrument.
- ⚠ Small-craft wind. The score is not a safety brief.
- ⚠ Seychelles requires an SFA license. Outer atolls are lodge water. Ste Anne and other parks are marked — verify before you fish.

When
When is moving water in a good hour — not the day. Today’s ring mixes the best mark, the lead fish, and the best window, then taxes the sky. A strong incoming can sit under a weak day if the wind or the fish is off. Calendar cells are a third recipe: range, moon, and the day’s forecast.

Why — and who
- — Tide is incoming (modeled — no NOAA gauge on this water).
- — Mostly clear. Clouds steal the window on bones and permit.
- — Wind 23 mph ESE. This is a spin / structure / stay-home call.
- — Waxing gibbous moon — spring tide range. Sight water often prefers a moderate range and clean water over a huge spring.
