Fair

Best window 23:00 – 00:00

Fair (52) — best around ⁦23:00–00:00⁩, thanks to moving water, dawn or dusk light, falling pressure.

Gusting 36 kn around 05:00.
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.
