Fair

Best window 22:00 – 23:00

Fair (52) — best around ⁦22:00–23:00⁩, thanks to a major solunar period, falling pressure, a light breeze.

Gusting 31 kn around 09:00.
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.
