The water here is 3.3 °C warmer than the October average of 26.7 °C. Warmer-than-normal water pushes cool-water species deeper and brings warm-water species in earlier than the calendar suggests. The water is mixed to about 60.0 m, so surface temperature carries well down the water column.

Local regulations
Licensing:
- saltwater-recreational — residents There is no single national recreational sea-fishing licence in India. Casual shore/recreational angling is generally unregulated, but boat-based fishing, fishing in protected areas / national parks / sanctuaries, and fishing in some states require a permit from the relevant State fisheries department, Forest department, or local authority/panchayat. Rules differ substantially by state — always check locally before fishing., non-residents Visiting anglers should confirm requirements with the State fisheries department for the coast they will fish. The Andaman & Nicobar Islands, for example, issue a dedicated sport-fishing permit; mainland states vary. A national seasonal fishing ban (monsoon breeding ban) also applies on each coast for part of the year.
FishRadar regulations are summaries for informational purposes only. India has no national recreational sea-fishing bag or size limits — marine fishing is regulated separately by each coastal State/Union Territory under its own Marine Fishing Regulation Act, and a seasonal fishing ban applies for part of the year. Permits may be required for boat-based fishing or in protected areas. Rules vary widely and change. Always verify current rules with the relevant State fisheries department before fishing — FishRadar is not a legal source.
