Pulling the 14-day strip…
This pip is that mark on this tide — not the day on the ring.
Jupiter Inlet
pass jetty · public structure · deep
The inlet. Snook on the jetties and the first turn. Tarpon in the throat. Current, boats, and a short window.
Juno Beach Pier
structure piling · public structure · deep
Public pier. Snook and a beach tarpon if they swing close. County park. Not a skiff mark.
Loxahatchee mouth
mangrove edge · public structure · mid
River-to-inlet. Outgoing along the points. This is Jupiter’s snook water, not a Keys bank.
When is moving water in a good hour — not the day. First light and last light are named when the clock is the story. 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.
