Swordfish ★
Location
The Ruby Sea holds 53 fisher nodes, 4 of them time-restricted and the other 49 available at any hour. At level 70 this is higher than 34 of the other 52, which span levels 62 to 74.
Windows run 8 Eorzean hours. One Eorzean hour is 175 real seconds, so that is about 23 real minutes per window.
Fishing Forecast
Replaying the weather rotation for 365 real days from 1 January 2020 — 7,509 Eorzean days across 22,526 eight-bell weather periods — Swordfish opens 1,912 times, about 5.2 windows per real day. Every one of those windows runs 23 minutes 20 seconds, which leaves it catchable 8.49% of the time.
The median wait from one window closing to the next opening is 3 hours 7 minutes, and the mean 4 hours 12 minutes. The shortest gap in that simulation was 46 minutes 40 seconds; the worst drought ran 1 day 13 hours.
Ranked against every other fish in this dataset that carries a time or weather requirement, that is the 78th tightest of 348: 269 are catchable for more of the clock than Swordfish, and one other lands on exactly the same figure.
Those windows are not spread evenly across the conditions that allow them: Clouds carries 59.9% of them (1,145 of 1,912) and Wind 40.1%.
