Fair

Best window 22:00 – 23:00

Fair (51) — best around ⁦22:00–23:00⁩, thanks to a major solunar period, a light breeze, a comfortable water temperature.

Gusting 35 kn around 07:00.
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.
