Best window 16:00 – 18:00

Fair (53) — best around ⁦16:00–18:00⁩, thanks to moving water, a major solunar period, falling pressure.

Gusting 31 kn around 02:00.
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.
