The 71 daily score always averages the 17 daytime hours, so waters stay comparable no matter which view you use. Night hours add species-specific after-dark feeding, sunrise and sunset are computed for this water's coordinates, and the seven-day strip uses live forecast data wherever the feed reaches.
