Fair

Best window 10:00 – 12:00

Fair (54) — best around ⁦10:00–12:00⁩, thanks to a major solunar period, a comfortable water temperature, a light breeze.

Gusting 36 kn around 14:00.
Why we say this
Gusts, not average wind, are what capsize a kayak and spoil a cast. Above 30 kn most shore and small-craft fishing stops being pleasant.
