58Good

Best window 08:00 – 11:00

Good (58) — best around ⁦08:00–11:00⁩, thanks to a major solunar period, moving water, dawn or dusk light.

  • Feels like ⁦-0.4°⁩ around 08:00.
    Why we say thisApparent temperature combines cold and wind chill. Near freezing, exposure sets the length of a session more than the fish do.
  • Gusting 31 kn around 08:00.
    Why we say thisGusts, not average wind, are what capsize a kayak and spoil a cast. Above 30 kn most shore and small-craft fishing stops being pleasant.
