Oregon Albacore Tuna Fishing (Offshore SST & Chlorophyll)
Run offshore for albacore. Oregon Angler's interactive sea-surface-temperature (SST) and chlorophyll maps plus NOAA OSPO SST contours help you hunt the warm 58–64°F breaks and blue-green water edges where albacore tuna school in late summer.
Find the temp break
Albacore love the edge where cooler green nearshore water meets warm blue offshore water. Our SST maps and contours show exactly where those breaks set up off Newport, Garibaldi and Charleston.
Read the water color
Chlorophyll maps reveal the clean blue water and color changes that concentrate bait and tuna, saving you fuel on the long run out.
