Best fishing times today
Best window 05:00 – 06:00
Good (55) — best around 05:00–06:00, thanks to a major solunar period, falling pressure, a strong tide coefficient.
- Feels like 0.6° around 12:00.
Why we say this
Apparent temperature combines cold and wind chill. Near freezing, exposure sets the length of a session more than the fish do. - Gusting 44 kn around 14:00.
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.
