58Good

Best window 07:00 – 10:00

Good (58) — best around ⁦07:00–10:00⁩, thanks to a major solunar period, moving water, dawn or dusk light.

  • Feels like ⁦0.8°⁩ around 10:00.
    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.
