How we calculate this →

61Good

Best window 03:00 – 05:00

Good (61) — best around ⁦03:00–05:00⁩, thanks to moving water, a major solunar period, falling pressure.

  • Feels like ⁦0.6°⁩ around 15:00.
    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 39 kn around 15:00.
    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.
