How we calculate this →

56Good

Best window 17:00 – 20:00

Good (56) — best around ⁦17:00–20:00⁩, thanks to moving water, dawn or dusk light, a strong tide coefficient.

  • Feels like ⁦1.4°⁩ around 13:00.
    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 36 kn around 14:00.
    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.
