Weather's a scorcher—mostly sunny with highs near 32°C (90°F), light southeast winds at 10-15 kph, and a chance of quick afternoon showers, per PAGASA reports. Sunrise hit at 5:40 AM, sunset's callin' it at 6:15 PM, givin' us a solid 12.5 hours of prime light. Tides are lookin' good for inshore bites: high tide mid-mornin' at 10:30 AM in Manila Bay (about 1.8m), low around 4 PM (0.6m), then risin' again overnight—perfect for pushin' baitfish into the shallows, accordin' to local tide charts from PhilFIDA.

Best lures? Skipjacks and poppers in silver/blue for jacks and trevs—yo-yo 'em deep. Soft plastics rigged on jigheads for snapper. Live bait rules: sardines or shrimp on circle hooks for grouper, halfbeak for tuna. Moon phase is waxin' gibbous, boostin' night bites too.
