Good

Best window 23:00 – 00:00

Good (59) — best around ⁦23:00–00:00⁩, thanks to moving water, a major solunar period, dawn or dusk light.

Gusting 34 kn around 22:00.
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.
