A dated view of Baja’s ocean
The Pacific and the Sea of Cortez need not share the same temperature pattern. Compare the latest available daily analysis with the preceding dates, then read local reports before choosing fishing grounds. A temperature map cannot establish catch activity, wind, waves or port status.
MUR combines multiple satellite and in-situ inputs into a gridded surface analysis. The newest seven days may be revised. Point readings show estimated analysis uncertainty when NOAA provides it; they are not onboard thermometer measurements.

Ocean map questions
Is this a live water-temperature measurement?
No. This is the latest available daily JPL MUR analysis distributed by NOAA CoastWatch. Its analysis timestamp appears beside the map and each point reading. It is not a real-time sensor feed, weather forecast or fishing prediction.
How can temperature breaks help anglers?
Changes in surface temperature can help describe boundaries between water masses. They do not prove bait or fish are present. The SST color field is shown here; a separate quantified gradient layer is not yet available.
Are currents, chlorophyll, waves and fishing seasons included?
Not in this initial release. Those layers need separately verified sources, timestamps and licensing. Regional species calendars need evidence and editorial review. No modeled conditions, seasonal averages or invented values have been used as substitutes.
